Описание: Using different perspectives and various approaches, this collection of diagnostic texts aims at presenting all the possible faces of the contemporary Nation-State. Based on political science methodology, this volume is devoted to both theory and practice. The structure of the book is unconventional. The issues presented are extremely contextual, subject to an ongoing discussion and mostly unpredictable. From the scientific point of view, the territorial differentiation in the traditional uniform of the Nation-State is simply reconfigured and reshaped due to the new logic of internal market competition.

Politics in the Times of Indignation provides a critical look at Western liberal democracies in crisis, to provide us with the theoretical tools to make sense of the political disorientation of our times.
Indispensable for understanding the present state of democratic societies, this book is a lens through which we can study numerous contemporary developments. He examines the popular indignation that has accompanied the crisis of governmental legitimacy, which is aggravated by the economic crisis in various countries and demonstrated by groups such as the Occupy Wall Street Movement in the US, Podemos in Spain, or La France Insoumise in France.
At the same time, Innerarity endeavors to offer a universal, rather than a merely circumstantial, interpretation of the transformations that are still ongoing in our political systems, as well as of those that need to be put in place in order to satisfy the expectations and rights of democratic citizenship. Politics in the Times of Indignation represents a guiding thread through political developments, as well as a conceptual tool-box for understanding the meaning of the current crisis of representation, the fate of political parties, the relation between ethics and politics, and how politics can become an intelligent enterprise.
Описание: Clear disparities exist between notions of representative democracy and political practice in Britain. Alternative models of democracy, however, have their own incongruities in trying to marry representation and democracy. This book analyses the mismatches in democratic theories and between theory and practice in British representative democracy.

The purpose of this book is to encourage the use and exploration of imagination, intuition and insight as essential ingredients for scientific, educational and civic endeavors. This groundbreaking book is a kind of intellectual provocation, but also an antidote for our current crises in education.

Описание: Why do people enter total institutions - places that confine and control them around the clock - and how does the experience change them? This book updates Goffman`s classic model by introducing the Re-inventive Institution, where members voluntarily commit themselves to pursue regimes of self-improvement.
Описание: Focusing first on the party-centered politics of European democracies, where career ambitions are necessarily different than those in the United States, Patrik ?hberg looks closely at what motivates those aiming at the highest level of the political hierarchy, how these motivators differ between more and less equalitarian societies, and how such ambitions play out. His book, which draws upon a uniquely extensive survey conducted by the Swedish National Election Study Program, is the first thorough study of elite politicians who aspire to the top echelons of the parliamentary system. Politicians with career ambitions have a distinct idea of representation, ?hberg finds; they display a higher degree of political self-regard and are more responsive to the wishes of the party elite in developing strategies. These findings vary among European democracies, and they differ from the traits and trajectories of political ambition in the United States. By identifying the subtleties and charting the differences, ?hberg offers a valuable lesson on whether and how representative democracies are served by politicians driven by personal ambition, or by those subverting such ambitions to the needs of party or state.

Описание: It is usually held that representative government is not strictly democratic, since it does not allow the people themselves to directly make decisions. This title challenges this wisdom, arguing that political representation deserves to be regarded as a legitimate mode of democratic decision making.
Описание: This book offers an original analysis of the problem of the authority of the state in democracies by focusing on the relationship between that authority and the development of the international economy through the twentieth century. -- .
Описание: Analyzing left-leaning parties in the U.S., Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom, Stephanie Mudge shows that the left lost voters` loyalty in part because of the changing worldview of party experts. Keynesian economists in the 1960s who spoke for managing the economy gave way in the 1980s to economists advocating the advancement of markets.
Описание: This book challenges the traditional narrative of public administration. The discretion that modern governments give to administrators not only captures the means to implement policies, but also to make tradeoffs among democratic values. This book is about these value tradeoffs and the challenges they present for representative democracy.
