Book Synopsis Democracy and Complexity by : Danilo Zolo
Download or read book Democracy and Complexity written by Danilo Zolo and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a highly original and provocative contribution to democratic theory. Zolo argues that the increasing complexity of modern societies represents a fundamental challenge to the basic assumptions of the Western democratic tradition and calls for a reformulation of some of the key questions of political theory. Zolo maintains that, as modern societies become more complex and more involved in the `information revolution', they are subjected to new and unprecedented forms of evolutionary stress - as manifested, for instance, in the growing autonomy and power of political parties, and in new kinds of political communication which create and sustain the fiction of consensus. These forms of stress have become so serious that they threaten to undermine some of the values traditionally associated with democracy, such as the rationality and autonomy of the individual, and the visibility and accountability of power.
Book Synopsis Demokratie und Pluralismus by : Ernst Fraenkel

Book excerpt: Ernst Fraenkel ist einer der Gründungsväter der Politikwissenschaft in Deutschland. Seine Schriften in diesem Band enthalten die für die politikwissenschaftliche Diskussion bis heute maßgebliche Formulierung des Konzeptes der pluralistischen Demokratie. Fraenkel entwickelt seine Pluralismustheorie aus dem historischen Vergleich zwischen England, Frankreich, den USA und Deutschland. Der Pluralismus ist die Überwindung des Totalitarismus, des Nationalsozialismus wie des Stalinismus. Mit einem empirischen Ansatz beschreibt Fraenkel die Funktionsweise der modernen Demokratie. Auf der normativen Ebene bezeichnet er viele ihrer Defizite. Kern des Bandes ist die Aufsatzsammlung "Deutschland und die westlichen Demokratien" - ein Klassiker der Politikwissenschaft und der neueren Staatstheorie. Sie ist in durchgesehener Fassung abgedruckt. In weiteren Schriften wendet Fraenkel seine Pluralismustheorie anschaulich auf konkrete Probleme an. Gegen Einwände verteidigt er den Pluralismus, widerlegt z. B. den Rätemythos. Das Vorwort des Herausgebers analysiert die Argumentationen Fraenkels systematisch und ordnet sie in weitere Zusammenhänge ein.
Book Synopsis Radical Approaches to Political Science: Roads Less Traveled by : Rainer Eisfeld
Download or read book Radical Approaches to Political Science: Roads Less Traveled written by Rainer Eisfeld and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2012-06-27 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground breaking volume offers a range of alternative approaches to political science, highlighting problems too rarely confronted by “mainstream” political scientists. Ranging from Gunfighter Sagas to the changing faces of an imaginary Mars, the innovative chapters introduce whole new ways of rethinking politics, stirring up the all too conventional ways of the discipline. “Klaus von Beyme, one of the most erudite members of our profession, in his introduction conclusively demonstrates the book’s crossdisciplinary merits. I believe this valuable work will be a powerful boost to an international, comparatively informed, pluralist political science.” Theodore J. Lowi (Cornell University), former President, International Political Science Association
Book Synopsis Their Members' Voice by : Meike Rodekamp
Download or read book Their Members' Voice written by Meike Rodekamp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of civil society organisations in Brussels is debated. Some view them as representatives of their members and thus as legitimising agents for policy-making in the European Union. Others see them as being elitist and out of touch with their membership bases, therefore ill-suited to promote democracy at the EU level. Taking civil society organisations in the EU’s external relations as an example, Meike Rodekamp submits these controversial views to a reality check. Interviews with representatives of civil society organisations in Brussels and their member organisations in the EU show that the Brussels offices have not lost contact with their members. However, member organisations differ substantially in their participation in internal decision-making processes, which raises doubts about the legitimacy gains through civil society participation in EU policy-making.
Book Synopsis Convincing Political Stakeholders by : Klemens Joos
Download or read book Convincing Political Stakeholders written by Klemens Joos and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the new edition of his standard work, the founder of one of the most successful lobbying companies in the European Union (EU), Prof. Klemens Joos, bundles experience acquired over more than three decades to form a scientific theory on governmental relations. It focusses on the insight that, in view of the increasingly complex decision-making structures of the EU, the most precise possible knowledge of decision-makers and decision-making processes is at least equally as important to success as the content aspects of interest representation. In a new chapter, the author sets out the formula for science-based interest representation developed by him from his practical experience. With the Treaty of Lisbon, which entered into force on 1 December 2009, the EU de facto became a state territory stretching from Portugal to Finland and from Ireland to Cyprus. The European Parliament became an equal-status decision-maker alongside the Council of the European Union (Council). The previous co-decision procedure was elevated to become the standard procedure ("ordinary legislative procedure"). The so-called qualified majority (55 percent of the EU member states which simultaneously represent at least 65 percent of the EU population) was introduced for all important areas in the Council. As a result, the outcome of decision-making processes has become largely incalculable for the actors on the "European Union stage" - the EU member states, EU regions, companies, associations and organisations. The second edition includes a new chapter, in which Prof. Klemens Joos makes the variables of successful interest representation even more tangible on the basis of his scientific formula: at the latest since the Treaty of Lisbon, the basic prerequisite for successful interest representation in the EU involves the continuous and close intermeshing of the affected party's content competence (of the four "classic instruments" of interest representation: corporate representative offices, associations, public affairs agencies, law firms) with process structure competence (i.e. the EU-wide maintenance of the required spatial, personnel and organisational capacities as well as strong networks across institutions, political groups and member states) on the part of an independent intermediary. The likelihood of success can be increased exponentially if success is achieved, firstly, in committing to the concern of an affected party through a change of perspective such that the positive effects on the common good are shifted into the foreground for the decision-makers in the EU (perspective change competence) and, secondly, in successfully integrating the concern into the crucial decision-making processes at the political level and continuously supporting it (process support competence). Guest authors: This work includes guest contributions from Prof. Christian Blümelhuber (Berlin University of the Arts), Prof. Anton Meyer (formerly LMU Munich), Prof. Armin Nassehi (LMU Munich) and Prof. Franz Waldenberger (Director of the German Institute of Japanese Studies, Tokyo) as well as a foreword by Prof. Gunther Friedl (Dean of the TUM School of Management) and a preface by Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann (President of TU Munich).

Book Synopsis Staat und Demokratie in Europa by : Beate Kohler-Koch
Download or read book Staat und Demokratie in Europa written by Beate Kohler-Koch and published by VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften. This book was released on 1992-01-31 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mit dem Thema "Staat und Demokratie" wurde erneut eine der Kernfragen des Faches in den Mittelpunkt der Erörterungen eines DVPW-Kongresses gestellt. Die Konzeption des Kongresses und damit dieses Bandes setzt bei den tiefgreifenden Prozessen der Um gestaltung im institutionellen Arrangement von Staat, Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft an. Er gliedert sich in drei thematische Bereiche: - Zukunft des Staates Im Mittelpunkt steht eine grundlegende Reflexion über Staatlichkeit heute, die Hand lungsfähigkeit des Staates unter den Bedingungen internationaler Interdependenz und gewandelter interner Aufgabenlagen und gesellschaftlich-wirtschaftlicher Strukturie rungen und die normative Integration des demokratischen Staates der Gegenwart. - Konflikt und Konsensus In den östlichen Ländern zeichnen sich unterschiedliche Wege zu einer Wettbewerbsde mokratie ab, in den westlichen Ländern werden deren Grenzen immer deutlicher. Im Kern geht es somit um die Entwicklung neuer politischer Konflikt- und Konsensformen im Rahmen einer sich neu formierenden Staatlichkeit sowie um den staatlichen Restruk turierungsprozeß im Zuge der supranationalen Integration Westeuropas. - Die europäische Staatenwelt Die Bedeutung von Herrschaftsstrukturen und staatlicher Verfaßtheit für die Strukturie rung des internationalen Systems ist mit dem Ende des Ost-West-Konfliktes überdeutlich geworden. Dies lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf Grundsatzfragen wie die nach der Frie densfähigkeit von Demokratien, der Regelbarkeit zwischenstaatlicher Beziehungen und einer möglicherweise neuen Qualität internationaler Politik infolge von Veränderungen im innerstaatlichen Verhältnis von Politik und Wirtschaft. Der Fokus auf Europa drängte sich angesichts des Wandels der politischen Konflikt strukturen in Westeuropa, des Systemumbruchs in den vormals "realsozialistischen" Staaten aber auch angesichts der erneuten Dynamik des staatenübergreifenden Integra tionsprozesses in Westeuropa geradezu auf.

Download or read book Political Power written by Mark Haugaard and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2012-06-27 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the concept of power is central to the study of politics, there is no agreement as to what exactly power is. Power is often viewed negatively, as domination, though it is also the case that power is created by people acting in concert, in which case it can have positive effects. Making sense of this puzzle is one of the aims of this book, which provides the reader with a clear and coherent way of understanding the various forms and manifestations of power, and it does so by bringing together the most important and influential perspectives on power within the political and social sciences. From the Contents: Mark Haugaard and Kevin Ryan: Power in Social and Political Theory John Gledhill: Power in Political Anthropology Stewart Clegg: Foundations of Organizational Power Jill Vickers: Gendering Power: Feminist Approaches John A.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Disney by : Alexandre Bohas
Download or read book The Political Economy of Disney written by Alexandre Bohas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on the socio-economic impact of multinational corporations. Combining Cultural Studies and International Political Economy, it provides a revealing analysis of the Walt Disney Company, and by extension the wider Hollywood studio system. It does so by examining the cultural and economic forces powering the industry's expansion, the 'civilisation' that Disney disseminates, and the various ways that societies beyond the USA have adopted facets of the Hollywood productions to which they are exposed. Identifying both the strengths and the weaknesses of these transnational firms, it demonstrates the significance of their contribution to American power and predominance.
