    Taylor & Francis Ltd Leadership and Local Power in European Rural

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisContemporary processes of economic, social, political and cultural restructuring are having profound impacts on the form and function of rural areas within the countries of the European Union and beyond. Furthermore, rural development policies and programmes at EU and national levels have been critical in shaping the responses of different rural areas across Europe to these wider processes of restructuring. Contrasting empirical studies of ten European countries, this volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the restructuring processes and the various national, regional and local rural development programmes. Adopting a different national perspective in each chapter, it focuses particularly on issues of power and leadership in the evolution and administration of these programmes. Five broad issues are examined in each case: socio-economic changes in rural areas, the administrative context in which rural development and political activities take place, the sociological context, Trade Review'This comparative perspective is indeed an ambitious and welcome addition to our understanding of the commonalties experienced, but also of the diversity that is evident, across rural Europe.'

    Book SynopsisThis book is among the first serious looks at the first 18 months of the Biden administration and its many challenges. From a tortured transition to a raging pandemic, a fragile economy, and the threat of international insecurity, Joe Biden entered office at a time even more fraught than that he faced as a new vice president. Confronting a nation divided sharply along political, cultural, and sociodemographic lines, Biden and Kamala Harris promised to unify the country, change the tone in Washington, mend fences with allies, and build back better a world assailed from stem to stern. This book assesses the successes and shortfalls of the Biden administration's first 18 months in office, putting all in perspective of the current state of democracy in America. Intended to introduce students of American government to the person (Biden) and the institution (presidency) within a particular system (separation of powers), this book will appeal broadly to citizens, media, and general interest rTrade Review"In this book, Stephen Wayne, one of the most astute scholars of the presidency, presents a historically informed analysis of President Biden’s first year in office.Wayne’s sophisticated yet readily accessible analysis guides the reader through Biden’s transition into office, the successes and failures of his legislative agenda, and his foreign policy challenges.If you want to understand how the Biden presidency works, how it has dealt with its successes and setbacks, and its place in the modern presidency, this is a book you should read."James P.

    Book SynopsisThe secret garden of politics, where some win and others lose their candidate selection bids, and why some aspirant candidates are successful while others fail have been enduring puzzles within political science. This book solves this puzzle by proposing and applying a universally applicable multistage approach to discover the relationship between selection rules, selectorsâ biases, aspirantsâ attributes, and selection outcomes.Rare party and survey data on winning and losing candidates and insider views on what it takes to win a selection contest at multiple selection stages are compared and used to reveal the inner workings of the secret garden. With a primary focus on the British Labour party over several elections, the findings challenge many long-held assumptions about why some aspirant candidate types are successful over others and provides real-world and controversial solutions to addressing womenâs and other marginalised groupsâ descriptive underrepresentation.

    15 in stock

    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.

    Book SynopsisThis textbook, from one of Italy's most eminent scholars, provides broad coverage and critique of Italian politics and society. Providing the readers with the knowledge necessary to understand the working of the Italian political system, it also offers answers to some of the most important challenges facing the country and other contemporary democracies today, such as populism, anti-politics and corruption. Critical but underpinned by thorough data and analysis, it presents alternative views alongside the author's interpretation. Crucially, the book uses a comparative framework to explain Italy's transformation and evaluate its performance. Comparing the rules, institutions, parties and actors at work in the most important European political systems  France, Germany, Great Britain  with those in Italy, the Italian context is better understood and assessed in contrast.This text will be essential reading for students and scholars of Italian politics and EuropTrade Review"Most unexpected, though not unpredictable, events have deeply changed Italian politics in recent years. Italy is not the 'mistero buffo' no outsider can understand. Jettisoning stereotypes and resorting to a thoughtful analysis nurtured by comparative knowledge, Gianfranco Pasquino offers to us all a formidable lesson in political science." – Giuliano Amato, Prime Minister of Italy (1992–93; 2000–01)."Gianfranco Pasquino, an authority on Italian politics and perceptive commentator, provides a sharp and thoughtful analysis of Italy’s political system and institutions, their foundations and changes over the last decades. Anyone interested in understanding Italian democracy and its problems would be well advised to read this book." – Ilaria Favretto, Kingston University, UK."Italian politics may appear complicated – even byzantine - and not only to outsiders.

    Book SynopsisOne of the most successful dictators of the twentieth century, Stalin transformed the Communist Party of the Soviet Union into one of the world's leading political parties. Stalin and Stalinism explores how he ammassed, retained and deployed power to dominate, not only his close associates, but the population of the Soviet Union and Soviet Empire.Moving from leader to autocrat and finally despot, Stalin played a key role in shaping the first half of the twentieth century with, at one time, around one-third of the planet adopting his system. His influence lives on despite turning their backs on Stalin's anti-capitalism in the later twentieth century, countries such as China and Vietnam retain his political model the unbridled power of the Communist Party. First published in 1983, Stalin and Stalinism has established itself as one of the most popular textbooks for those who want to understand the Stalin phenomenon. This updated fourth edition draws on a wealth oTrade Review'McCauley’s work is indispensable for courses in modern Russian history. It not only provides primary sources that make clear the oppression of the Stalin era, but also explains the historiography of this period, and provides an assessment of Stalin’s legacy, which resonates to this very day.'Patricia Kollander, Florida Atlantic University, USA"Stalin and Stalinism has long been a work critical to the introduction of the Stalinist history of the Soviet Union. Part of the Seminar Series published by Routledge Press, it is now in its fourth edition. In this new edition (revised third edition published in 2013), McCauley continues to show his broad-based knowledge of the history of Stalin and Stalinism. In addition to some physical rearrangement, he has added three new chapters of analysis, focusing on the years before Stalin came to power. He has also added a new chapter on the legacy of Stalinism, which includes a discussion of the differences between Stalin and Putin. One of the most helpful sections of this title in all editions has been the inclusion of the translation of several critical documents. The fourth edition has them all and includes Khrushchev’s secret speech to the XXth Party Congress in 1956. McCauley has also expanded and updated the additional readings, creating another great edition of a foundational volume in the study of Stalin and Stalinism."J. C.

    Book SynopsisAs the United States marks its first presidential election of a new century, Witcover shows us how professional mercenaries -- with little party loyalty and diminished political principles, driven by an insatiable need for money -- are poisoning public life. At the same time, politicians themselves have condoned and even encouraged these developments, responding to the demands of a media-driven age in which the press corps pursues its own quest for celebrity and financial reward.Sharp, revealing, and rich with anecdotes, No Way to Pick a President offers a wealth of presidential history, from the role of the vice president''s office to campaign funds, television and the electoral college.Trade Review"Praise for the hardcover edition of No Way to Pick aPresident(0374223033):.""Provacative.Witcover blasts virtually everyone and everything associated with presidential elections." -- Washington Post Book World"An angry uncompromising survey of the steady debasement of the political coin." -- David Broder, Washington Post"Vintage Witcover, which means strong reporting, sharp analysis, and well turned anecdotes, revealing interviews, and an abiding love of the game, warts and all.

    Book SynopsisPresident Donald Trump and His Political Discourse brings together a diverse collection of perspectives on President Trumpâs Twitter rhetoric. Truly unique in its in-depth exploration, the volume demonstrates the ways in which international and U.S. relations, media and fake news, and marginalized groups, among other things, have been the subject of President Trumpâs tweets. It also features qualitativeâquantitative analyses, evaluating tweet patterns, broader language shifts, and the psychology of President Trumpâs Twitter voice. The purpose of this collection is not only to analyze the language used but also to consider the ramifications of the various messages on both individual and global levels, for which Trump is both celebrated and criticized. Interdisciplinary in approach, this collection is a useful resource for students in political rhetoric and communication, international relations, linguistics, journalism, leadership studies, and more.Trade ReviewAs the Twitter president, Donald Trump has revolutionized how candidates and presidents interact with audiences domestically and globally. Michele Lockhart’s edited volume answers the call for serious study of Trump’s Twitter language and its impact, making President Donald Trump and His Political Discourse a timely addition to any classroom.-Shawn J. Parry-Giles, University of Maryland, USAIf you’re wondering how President Trump’s churning tweets are utterly redefining American political rhetoric, then this collection provides a sufficient and necessary baseline where, as Yeats warned, “the ceremony of innocence is drowned.” While social media isn’t always social, it’s always rhetorical, and — for this attentive editor and these critically engaged scholars — strangely beautiful. -Hugh Burns, Texas Woman's University, USATable of ContentsINTRODUCTION by Michele LockhartPART I: THE CAMPAIGN, THE TWITTERSPHERE, AND THE "NEW AGE" OF RHETORIC: TRUTH VERSUS REALITY1.
