Taylor & Francis Ltd Sovereignism and Populism
Book SynopsisAt a time when populism and appeal for national and popular sovereignty are on the rise â in Europe, the USA, and beyond â this volume proposes a new research agenda in political science that focuses on the linkages between populist and sovereignism in Europe.The bookâs core question is to know and describe whether, how, and to what extent populism has been able to articulate the calls for âtaking back controlâ of the national borders and authority, by looking at both the âdemandâ and âsupplyâ sides. Through compelling empirical analyses, the authors offer fresh data and theoretical insights on the determinants of the support for sovereigntist claims and its impact on voting choices, as well as on the features of the sovereignist discourse in populist parties.Coupled with the growing electoral success of party-based populism, sovereignism actually poses challenges to the ongoing processes of supranational integration. This urges a timely rethinking of democratic politiTable of ContentsPreface Introduction: Sovereignist wine in populist bottles? 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge Handbook of Election Law
Book SynopsisGovernments need rules, institutions, and processes to translate the will of the people into functioning democracies. Election laws are the rules that make that happen. Yet across the world various countries have crafted different rules regarding how elections are conducted, who gets to vote, who is allowed to run for office, what role political parties have, and what place money has in the financing of campaigns and candidates. The Routledge Handbook of Election Law is the first major cross-national comparative reference book surveying the electoral practices and law of the major and emerging democracies across the world. It brings together the leading international scholars on election law and democracy, examining specific issues, topics, or the regions of the world when it comes to rules, institutions, and processes regarding how they run their elections. The result is a rich volume of research furthering the legal and political science knowledge about democracies and the Table of Contents1 Introduction2 Democratic Theory and Election Law3 Representative Government and Elections4 Voting Rights and Limitations 5 Electoral Management6 Electronic Voting7 Election Law in Advanced Democracies8 Challenges in Electoral Integrity9 Elections as Rituals10 International Election Observation and Standards11 Election Observation: Using Law and International Standards – A Practitioner's Perspective12 Election Disputes, Complaints, and Appeals13 Role of Money in Campaigns and Elections14 Political Finance 15 Gender Quotas in Politics 16 Election Participation of Persons With Disabilities 17 Personalization of Elections: In Search of the Sound Conception18 European Court of Human Rights and the Election Law19 Post-Election Disputes in Europe20 The Election Law in Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania 21 Election Law in Turkey22 Election Law in Latin America23 Contested Elections in Africa: The Roles of Courts in Electoral Processes24 Election Law in India25 Election Law in Malaysia26 Legal Reforms for Electoral Integrity in Pakistan27 Deep Election Law in South Korea

Taylor & Francis Ltd Laboratory Manual for Geotechnical
Book SynopsisThis manual presents procedures for performing advanced laboratory tests on fine-grained soils. It covers characterization tests, which determine soil composition and quantify the individual components of a soil, and behavioral tests, such as the Atterberg Limits tests that demonstrate how the fines fraction of a soil reacts when mixed with water and the Linear Shrinkage Test that demonstrates how much a soil shrinks.The material goes beyond traditional evaluation of basic soil behavior by presenting more advanced laboratory tests to characterize soil in more detail. These tests provide detailed compositional characteristics which identify subtle changes in conditions and vertical variations in the soil, and which help to explain unusual behavior. A unique compilation of information on key soil tests Combines characterization tests with behavior tests The book suits graduate students in geotechnical enginTable of ContentsPART 1: Determination of Compositional Characteristics 1.

Taylor & Francis Catalonia Scotland and the EU
Book SynopsisThe electoral success of secessionist parties in Catalonia and Scotland over the last decade, together with Brexit and the support for Eurosceptic parties in many EU member states, have prompted a rethink of many taken-for-granted notions about politics in Spain, the UK and the EU. Secessionist parties in Catalonia and Scotland often combine calls for independence with support for the EU, but independence for Catalonia might entail the loss of EU membership. In the UK, Scotland voted for the UK to remain in the EU, yet it was forced to leave the Union along with the rest of the country: what effect has Brexit had on Scottish independence claims? Through comparing Catalonia and Scotland, this short volume aims to contribute to debates on, and advance knowledge of, visions of independence and integration, how they interrelate in Europe's emergent political order, and what they entail for European integration and democracy in the EU.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Rise and Decline of Modern Democracy
Book SynopsisThe Rise and Decline of Modern Democracy assesses the rise of, subsequent political challenges to, and decline of, contemporary liberal democratic processes, in particular since the third wave' of democratization from the 1990s.Democracy is in global decline. Fewer countries are democratic and fewer people, globally, live in substantive democracies. Autocracy is now the dominant political form and the future looks, at best, challenging for the retention of such democracies that remain. As they did a century ago, nationalism and populism have again reared their ugly heads, and more people are claiming that democracy no longer addresses their most compelling needs or interests. This book examines what democracy is and the circumstances that allowed even encouraged it to arise. Democracy has been a product of a need to find a political model that mediates between competing interests, building on conducive conditions. However, there have since been fundamental changes Table of Contents1 Introduction 2 Drivers of Political Change 3 Ebb and Flow 4 Challengers 5 Compromise 6 Decline 7 The Radical Right 8 The Future is Not Written 9 Conclusion: With a Bang?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Elections and Social Networks around the World
Book SynopsisThis book analyzes the role of social networks during electoral campaigns around the world, taking into account the non-technological particularities (political, electoral, social, economic, cultural) of the media configurations of different countries.Political parties all over the world engage in real virtual battles to appear at the cutting edge of technology. Providing in-depth case studies from across Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, and Africa, this book emphasizes the need to study how institutions, culture, and politics shape the processes of technology diffusion in each context.

Taylor & Francis Ltd British and American Electoral Politics in the Age of Neoliberalism
Book SynopsisThis book employs a political economic approach in exploring the underlying neoliberal foundations of politics and electioneering in both the United States and the United Kingdom that have widened the divide among voters and, over time, led to a deep distrust of state institutions, including electoral politics and system of political representation.Covering the period of 1980 to the present, the book provides analysis of how neoliberalism applies to the electoral sphere and draws the connections between the larger forces behind the globalising political economy and the trajectory of the corporate state and the many intersections of US and UK electoral politics with lessons for other wealthy states that follow in similar pathways. As such, it helps explain a phenomenal parallel pattern of major political upheavals and social dislocations within these two countries. Finally, it reveals through numerous social indicators that the two leading neoliberal political economic system

Taylor & Francis Ltd Selecting the President
Book SynopsisSelecting political leaders by popular election is an unquestioned hallmark of representative democraciesthe institutional manifestation of Lincoln's promise of a government of the people and by the people. But in 2016, Lincoln's promise seems to have given way to Hamilton's nightmarewith his worries that popular elections would produce demagogues who paid an obsequious court to the people, appealing to their passions and prejudices rather than to their reason. This book examines the commitment to the widest level of participation among the largest number of citizens in the selection of the president. It looks at two salient characteristics of our current presidential election environment that bring the wisdom of this commitment into question: the declining influence of political parties and the communication revolution in the form of the internet, social media, and cable television. Ultimately, Mezey asks whether our now fully democratized presidential selection process has in factTrade ReviewPraise for (S)electing the PresidentMichael L. Mezey’s (S)electing the President: The Perils of Democracy is a must-read for anyone interested in the current state of our presidential selection process. After the historic 2016 election, this outstanding analysis addresses the central dilemmas of American democracy today: As our electoral system becomes more democratized with increased demagoguery, is the quality of candidates and campaigns diminished? Is it possible to have good government and quality leaders?James A. Thurber, American UniversityMichael Mezey’s new book, (S)electing the President, is an important contribution to the conversation surrounding popular elections. Drawing on the writing of ancient philosophers and our nation's founders, Mezey sends a strong message: that too much democratization of the nominating process and of the media might not be so beneficial as some think. His message is ignored at our peril.L. Sandy Maisel, Colby CollegeWith clarity and insight, Michael Mezey provides students and faculty with an engaging and concise narrative and analysis of the process by which we select the president of the United States. (S)electing the President is a must-read for students taking courses in introductory American government, elections, political parties, and politics and the media who want (and need) to better understand the history of the selection process, and specifically the 2016 presidential election.Alan R. Gitelson, Loyola University ChicagoThere is a conundrum at the heart of American electoral politics: The more democratized the presidential elections become, the less likely the most qualified candidate is elected. (S)electing the President casts a critical eye at the tension between democratic appeal and governing competence – pinpointing causes, consequences, and potential reform – and pierces this conundrum. Michael Mezey’s broad historical sweep and careful contemporary analysis should be a wake-up call for anyone concerned about the dynamics and outcomes of recent presidential elections.Sarah Binder, George Washington University and The Brookings InstitutionTable of ContentsPrefaceChapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Party Families in Western Europe
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive and comparative book makes clear what party families are and, in doing so, helps categorise and make sense of parties in different countries. It describes the ideology of the families in Western Europe as well as classifying political parties accordingly. Furthermore, the book examines who the party families' supporters are in terms of their social background and political values. What role do class, education, and religion play in the 21st century?Finally, the book provides a discussion of the degree to which the concept of party families is still meaningful in the 21st century and how it needs to be studied comparatively and comprehensively.
