Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Présentation de l'éditeur : "Why do new democracies succeed in some cases and struggle, backslide, or revert entirely to autocracy in others? What are the specific policies and practices at play? To answer these questions, Benjamin Cole turns to James Madison's "mischief of faction," drawing on a broad array of detailed case studies to demonstrate that factionalism is the most powerful predictor of adverse regime change and state failure in emerging democracies-and an existential threat to mature democracies, including the United States."

Book Synopsis The Crisis of Russian Democracy by : Richard Sakwa
Download or read book The Crisis of Russian Democracy written by Richard Sakwa and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-16 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The view that Russia has taken a decisive shift towards authoritarianism may be premature, but there is no doubt that its democracy is in crisis. In this original and dynamic analysis of the fundamental processes shaping contemporary Russian politics, Richard Sakwa applies a new model based on the concept of Russia as a dual state. Russia's constitutional state is challenged by an administrative regime that subverts the rule of law and genuine electoral competitiveness. This has created a situation of permanent stalemate: the country is unable to move towards genuine pluralist democracy but, equally, its shift towards full-scale authoritarianism is inhibited. Sakwa argues that the dual state could be transcended either by strengthening the democratic state or by the consolidation of the arbitrary power of the administrative system. The future of the country remains open.

Book Synopsis Politics in Taiwan by : Shelley Rigger
Download or read book Politics in Taiwan written by Shelley Rigger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-05-03 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows that Taiwan, unlike other countries, avoided serious economic disruption and social conflict, and arrived at its goal of multi-party competition with little blood shed. Nonetheless, this survey reveals that for those who imagine democracy to be the panacea for every social, economic and political ill, Taiwan's continuing struggles against corruption, isolation and division offer a cautionary lesson. This book is an ideal, one-stop resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of political science, particuarly those interested in the international politics of China, and the Asia-Pacific.
Book Synopsis Faction-Free Democracy by : Jerry Hamrick
Download or read book Faction-Free Democracy written by Jerry Hamrick and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Factions are formed by citizens who join together in pursuit of policies that have detrimental effects upon the rights of other citizens, or upon the common good. Many factions are now at work: states' rights, global warming, misogyny, racism, homophobia, economic inequality, anti-science, xenophobia, creationism, and inadequate health care and education. The most dangerous of these is global warming. Older Americans may not be severely affected by global warming, but people under age 26 will have much to lose. They hope that they and their children will be able to enjoy long, fruitful, happy lives, but as our planet warms, their quality of life will be sacrificed in a planetary struggle for survival. Our youngest Americans, those still in diapers, may face a heartbreaking decision as they approach 2040. As our climate worsens, those of childbearing age may well wonder if it would be fair to bring a child into a world that may be dangerous and suffocating, that may not hold a bright future for a newborn. Our constitutional system has betrayed us. Because of its design, it enables the formation of factions and gives them power. Fortunately, it can be modified to keep factions from getting and exercising power. This book describes how to do this, and shows the benefits that will result. Our Faction-Free Democracy will give each of us equal access to rights, resources, opportunities, and protections that will give each of us a fair and honest chance to go as far as our efforts and talents can take us, and thereby give each of us a fair and honest chance to build long lives worth living for ourselves and our loved ones.

Book Synopsis Why Parties Matter by : John H. Aldrich
Download or read book Why Parties Matter written by John H. Aldrich and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the founding of the American Republic, the North and South have followed remarkably different paths of political development. Among the factors that have led to their divergence throughout much of history are differences in the levels of competition among the political parties. While the North has generally enjoyed a well-defined two-party system, the South has tended to have only weakly developed political parties—and at times no system of parties to speak of. With Why Parties Matter, John H. Aldrich and John D. Griffin make a compelling case that competition between political parties is an essential component of a democracy that is responsive to its citizens and thus able to address their concerns. Tracing the history of the parties through four eras—the Democratic-Whig party era that preceded the Civil War; the post-Reconstruction period; the Jim Crow era, when competition between the parties virtually disappeared; and the modern era—Aldrich and Griffin show how and when competition emerged between the parties and the conditions under which it succeeded and failed. In the modern era, as party competition in the South has come to be widely regarded as matching that of the North, the authors conclude by exploring the question of whether the South is poised to become a one-party system once again with the Republican party now dominant.

Book Synopsis Dominant Political Parties and Democracy by : Matthijs Bogaards
Download or read book Dominant Political Parties and Democracy written by Matthijs Bogaards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines dominant parties in both established democracies and new democracies and explores the relationship between dominant parties and the democratic process. Bridging existing literatures, the authors analyse dominant parties at national and sub-national, district and intra-party levels and take a fresh look at some of the classic cases of one-party dominance. The book also features methodological advances in the study of dominant parties through contributions that develop new ways of conceptualizing and measuring one-party dominance. Combining theoretical and empirical research and bringing together leading experts in the field - including Hermann Giliomee and Kenneth Greene - this book features comparisons and case studies on Japan, Canada, Germany, Mexico, Italy, France and South Africa. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, democracy studies, comparative politics, party politics and international studies specialists.
Book Synopsis The Battle for U.S. Foreign Policy by : Patrick Homan
Download or read book The Battle for U.S. Foreign Policy written by Patrick Homan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an original study of the contemporary debate over U.S. foreign policy between the president, members of Congress, and political parties. Specifically, it examines how factions at the ideological extremes within parties such as the Tea Party, the Freedom Caucus, and Progressive Democrats can play significant roles in shaping U.S. foreign policy. In today’s polarized atmosphere where Americans seem increasingly divided, factions are emerging as powerful insurgents, innovators, and engines of change. The book develops a minority theory of influence that recognizes the importance of traditional and nontraditional strategies including persuasion, legislation, and issue framing. Original case studies explore factions at work in foreign policy development during the Barack Obama and Donald Trump administrations, including struggles over immigration policy, trade agreements, development aid, and foreign policies toward Iran and Syria. The Battle for U.S. Foreign Policy captures the spirit of ideological and practical party struggles and fills a substantial gap in foreign policy analysis literature.
