Описание: Why do national governments implement devolution given the high risk that it will encourage peripheral parties to demand ever more devolved powers? The aim of Challenging the State is to answer this question through a comparative analysis of devolution in four European countries: Belgium, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
Our political system has become big business--and business is booming--yet solutions to big problems seem impossible.
Behold, the political-industrial complex. Rampant lobbying and gerrymandering. Election spending rising exponentially with each cycle. The Democratic and Republican parties competing furiously against each other for advantage, while together--as a duopoly--having a lock on the entire industry.
And yet, who is this system for? Citizens, of course. Tragically, as the political system has transformed into an industry, it has also become totally dysfunctional, incapable of delivering solutions to America's key economic and social challenges. Would-be reformers debate endlessly about various ways to "fix the system," such as term limits or revised campaign finance laws, but few of these have been seriously proposed, let alone implemented.
In The Politics Industry, leading political innovation activist Katherine Gehl and world-renowned business strategist Michael Porter take a radically different approach. They ingeniously apply the tools of business analysis--and Porter's distinctive Five Forces framework--to show how the political system functions just as every other competitive industry does. Even more importantly, they argue that the political system can be changed, just as industries can be changed, by adopting a new and different strategy, a clear set of choices of things to do--and not do--in four key areas: the election process, the legislative "machinery," the role of money, and the opening up of competition. The authors focus only on those solutions that are powerful and capable of having a significant impact, as well as achievable within a short period.
The Politics Industry is an original and completely nonpartisan guide that will open any thinking citizen's eyes to the real dynamics and profound challenges of the American political system and provide powerful and practicable solutions for reshaping the system for the benefit of all.

Описание: This book analyses labour market reforms in India under conditions of globalization. Through a study of subnational variations in labour markets, the book emphasizes on the continued relevance of politics in shaping public policy, despite the structural-institutional constraints attributed to globalization and policy convergence. It shows that the role of partisan governments, dynamics of interest group negotiations, and party competition in the states can largelyinfluence public policy decisions for domestic socio-economic interests.

Описание: Given the partisan divisions in American politics today, any meaningful explanation of collective opinion should account for the role that partisanship plays in the dynamics of public opinion. Gregory E. McAvoy collects original data and develops a much needed model of information processing that explicitly accounts for the impact of partisanship on collective opinion.

Название: Supremely Partisan: How Raw Politics Tips the Scales in the United States Supreme Court ISBN: 1442266368 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781442266360 Издательство: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Рейтинг: Цена: 28150.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: On the eve of a presidential election that may determine the makeup of Supreme Court justices for decades to come, prominent attorney James D. Zirin argues that the Court has become increasingly partisan, rapidly making policy choices right and left on bases that have nothing to do with law or the Constitution. Zirin explains how we arrived at the present situation and looks at the current divide through its leading partisans, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor on the left and Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas on the right. He also examines four of the Court's most controversial recent decisions - Hobby Lobby, Obamacare, gay marriage, and capital punishment - arguing that these politicized decisions threaten to undermine public confidence in the Supreme Court.

Описание: This book considers why narrative realism in literature is seen as a `full account` of `real life` and the individual self. Unconventionally, Carnell shows that the formal conventions of narrative realism emerged in the seventeenth century in response to an explosion of partisan writings that put into play competing versions of political selfhood.

Описание: Although historians have assumed previously that early Kentucky was a one-party area, this title suggests that there were three active parties - the partisan, court, and country. From the land-grant maze following the 1779 migration, through a brief Tory movement, the author traces the parties` development and their struggle for power in the world of postrevolutionary Kentucky politics.
