Описание:
Although referendums have been used for centuries to settle ethnonational conflicts, there has yet been no systematic study or generalized theory concerning their effectiveness. Referendums and Ethnic Conflict fills the gap with a comparative and empirical analysis of all the referendums held on ethnic and national issues from the French Revolution to the 2012 referendum on statehood for Puerto Rico. Drawing on political theory and descriptive case studies, Matt Qvortrup creates typologies of referendums that are held to endorse secession, redraw disputed borders, legitimize a policy of homogenization, or otherwise manage ethnic or national differences. He considers the circumstances that compel politicians to resort to direct democracy, such as regime change, and the conditions that might exacerbate a violent response. Qvortrup offers a clear-eyed assessment of the problems raised when conflict resolution is sought through referendum as well as the conditions that are likely to lead to peaceful outcomes. This original political framework will provide a vital resource in the ongoing investigation into how democracy and nationalism may be reconciled.

Описание:
Throughout history meal gatherings have functioned as communal sites that contribute to the creation of shared opinions based on sense, emotion, and taste. In Teaching Taste, Karen Wistoft and Lars Qvortrup contend that how we taste and eat is just as central to culture and civilization as what we know and think. Written with teachers, trainee teachers, and students in mind, the work is divided into three parts. The authors open with an historical analysis of Danish children's cookbooks. They do so in order to track and discern shifting norms regarding what constitutes good taste, quality cooking, and appropriate meal preparation. Specifically, they examine how cooking came to be understood as the practice of following a recipe as accurately as possible, or how taste came to be recognized as a sense and ability that everyone, including children, possess. In the second part, the authors present a systematic foundation for a didactics of taste that seeks to unpack precisely what is taught when engaged in teaching taste. Specifically, the authors outline seven dimensions of taste: pleasant, healthy, sensed, moral, religious, loving, and trendy. These seven dimensions also include didactic reflections and concrete examples that lead to the third part of the work in which the authors delineate how practitioners, especially those interested in Home Economics, Food Knowledge and/or Food Education can teach about, through, and for taste. To that end, the book also includes several concrete teaching examples and a ready-to-use teaching handout.

Описание:
Putting the current crisis of democracy into historical perspective, Death by a Thousand Cuts chronicles how would-be despots, dictators, and outright tyrants have finessed the techniques of killing democracies earlier in history, in the 20th Century, and how today’s autocrats increasingly continue to do so in the 21st. It shows how autocratic government becomes a kleptocracy, sustained only to enrich the ruler and his immediate family. But the book also addresses the problems of being a dictator and considers if dictatorships are successful in delivering public policies, and finally, how autocracies break down.
We tend to think of democratic breakdowns as dramatic events, such as General Pinochet’s violent coup in Chile, or Generalissimo Franco’s overthrow of the Spanish Republic. But this is not how democracies tend to die – only five percent of democracies end like this. Most often, popular government is brought down gradually; almost imperceptibly. Based in part on Professor Qvortrup’s BBC Programme Death by a Thousand Cuts (Radio-4, 2019), the book shows how complacency is the greatest danger for the survival of government by the people. Recently democratically elected politicians have used crises as a pretext for dismantling democracy. They follow a pattern we have seen in all democracies since the dawn of civilisation. The methods used by Octavian in the dying days of the Roman Republic were almost identical to those used by Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban in 2020. And, sadly, there are no signs that the current malaise will go away.
Death by a Thousand Cuts adds substance to a much-discussed topic: the threat to democracy. It provides evidence and historical context like no other book on the market. Written in an accessible style with vignettes as well as new empirical data, the books promises to be the defining book on the topic. This book will help readers who are concerned about the longevity of democracy understand when and why democracy is in danger of collapsing, and alert them to the warning signs of its demise.
