Описание:
American urban form--the spaces, places, and boundaries that define citylife--has been evolving since the first settlements of colonial days. The changingpatterns of houses, buildings, streets, parks, pipes and wires, wharves, railroads, highways, and airports reflect changing patterns of the social, political, andeconomic processes that shape the city. In this book, Sam Bass Warner and AndrewWhittemore map more than three hundred years of the American city through theevolution of urban form. They do this by offering an illustrated history of"the City"--a hypothetical city that exemplifies the American city'stransformation from village to merchant seaport, industrial city, multicenteredmetropolis, and, finally, regional metropolis that participates in both the localand the global. The book thereby offers a yardstick against which readers canmeasure the history of their city.
Warner and Whittemore haveconstructed their hypothetical City from the histories of Boston, Philadelphia, andNew York, focusing on commonalities that make up key patterns in American urbandevelopment. In an engaging text accompanied by Whittemore's detailed, meticulousdrawings, they chart the City's changing boundaries, densities, building styles, transportation infrastructures, and population patterns. Planning for the future ofcities, they remind us, requires an understanding of the forces that shaped thecity's past; these are the tools of urban change. The city's protean, ever-changingnature offers each generation a fresh chance to reform (and re-form) it.

Описание: After the participative and deliberative turns in both democratic theory and EU studies, we are currently witnessing a ‘representative turn’ to which this volume contributes by addressing the relation between representation and democracy in the EU. Although in the Lisbon Treaty the EU conceives itself as a representative democracy, the meaning of this concept in a supranational polity is far from clear – either in theory or practice. Instead, the historically contingent link between representation and democracy is today severely challenged by various processes of diversification at all levels of political action (national, regional, supranational). These processes challenge our understanding of representative democracy as involving electoral democracy within clearly delineated nation-states, provoking a situation in which ‘new frontiers’ of representation develop. Consequently, it becomes increasingly difficult to provide normative standards as well as accurate assessments of democratic representation in the EU. This volume addresses these core challenges of representative democracy in the EU from normative, theoretical and methodological perspectives. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy.

An illustrated history of the American city's evolution from sparsely populated village to regional metropolis.
American Urban Form -- the spaces, places, and boundaries that define city life -- has been evolving since the first settlements of colonial days. The changing patterns of houses, buildings, streets, parks, pipes and wires, wharves, railroads, highways, and airports reflect changing patterns of the social, political, and economic processes that shape the city.

They do this by offering an illustrated history of "the City" -- a hypothetical city (constructed from the histories of Boston, Philadelphia, and New York) that exemplifies the American city's transformation from village to regional metropolis.
In an engaging text accompanied by Whittemore's detailed, meticulous drawings, they chart the City's changes. Planning for the future of cities, they remind us, requires an understanding of the forces that shaped the city's past.

Описание: Representative politics is in crisis. Trust in politicians is at an all–time low. Fewer people are voting or joining political parties, and our interest in parliamentary politics is declining fast. Even oppositional and radical parties that should be benefitting from public disenchantment with politics are suffering. But different forms of political activity are emerging to replace representative politics: instant politics, direct action, insurgent politics. We are leaving behind traditional representation, and moving towards a politics without representatives. In this provocative new book, Simon Tormey explores the changes that are underway, drawing on a rich range of examples from the Arab Spring to the Indignados uprising in Spain, street protests in Brazil and Turkey to the emergence of new initiatives such as Anonymous and Occupy. Tormey argues that the easy assumptions that informed our thinking about the nature and role of parties, and party based democracy have to be rethought. We are entering a period of fast politics, evanescent politics, a politics of the street, of the squares, of micro–parties, pop–up parties, and demonstrations. This may well be the end of representative politics as we know it, but an exciting new era of political engagement is just beginning.
