Описание: This book explores the origins of democracy and the impact that autocratic legacies have after democratization. It examines why those who benefited under the previous dictatorship continue to do so after they step down from power.

Описание: Przeworski presents a panorama of not only the political threats to democracy, but also the current economic, social, and cultural threats, places them in the context of past crises of democratic regimes, and offers speculations about the prospects.

Описание: Matt Ryan draws on ten years of research to deliver this landmark comparative review of participatory budgeting, or collective decisions on spending and taxation around the world. With examples of both positive change and notable failure, the book shows when and why citizens achieve this, and how policy makers can foster democratic engagement.
Описание: Constitutions around the world have overwhelmingly been the creation of men. This book asks how far constitutions have affirmed women`s equal citizenship status or failed to do so in different jurisdictions and points in time. It considers constitutionalism from its inception to the present day, using a wealth of international examples.
The world's democracies cheered as the social movements of the Arab Spring ended the reigns of longstanding dictators and ushered in the possibility of democracy. Yet these unique transitions also fit into a broader pattern of democratic breakthroughs around the globe, where political leaders emerge from the pro-democracy movement that helped affect change. In Social Movements and the New State, Brian Grodsky examines the relationships between new political elites and the civil society organizations that brought them to power in three culturally and geographically disparate countries—Poland, South Africa, and Georgia.
This book argues that the identities and personal networks developed during the struggle provide "movement activists" with opportunities to influence minor issues, but that new and differing institutional pressures create schisms on broader policy that can turn prior bonds into a liability rather than an asset. Drawing on media analyses and more than 150 elite interviews, Grodsky offers a rare empirical assessment of the degree to which social movement organizations shape activists' beliefs and actions over the long term.

Описание: Reformulating a problem both of constitutionalism and of liberalism often discussed in the works of Alexis de Tocqueville, Hannah Arendt, and Ernst-Wolfgang Boeckenfoerde, Miles argues that constitutionalism cannot be seen merely as a mechanism to limit government, as it also has a crucial civic dimension which the liberal state depends on.
