Taylor & Francis Ltd Organizing for Policy Influence Comparing Parties
Book SynopsisIn this book, Benjamin Farrer explains how activists can influence the policies they care about, even when they are outnumbered and their issues are ignored. The solution lies in a surprising place: organizational choice. Different types of organizations will be more influential under particular democratic institutions. If they choose the optimal type of organization - given their institutional context - then even minority groups can be influential. Environmentalists are a key example of how small groups can sometimes punch above their weight. Environmentalists in different countries have made different organizational choices. These choices explain whether or not they succeeded in influencing policy. In the empirical chapters that follow, Farrer shows that environmentalists can sometimes be more influential if they form interest groups, but under other institutions, political parties are the optimal organizational choice. Although interest groups are often easier to create, nationalTrade Review'Organizing for Policy Influence provides an innovative theory and a careful empirical analysis for understanding how activist groups influence politics in advanced democracies. Farrer persuasively argues that the type of organization that groups of political activists choose–specifically, whether they choose political parties, interest groups, or direct action groups–has profound implications for how these groups of citizens are represented. He looks at current and salient issues, like the environment and immigration, to increase our understanding of activist influence. Under which circumstances should activists organize as interest groups or political parties? Farrer’s analysis provides key insights for important questions like this one.' - Lawrence Ezrow, Professor of Government, University of Essex'Farrer employs an impressive variety of methodological approaches to argue that overlooked and under-represented actors – specifically, environmental activists – have the power to effect policy change. An important corrective to the academic and popular bias in favor of political parties, this book also shows why policy-seeking activists might choose to form an interest group or engage in direct action over creating a niche party.' - Bonnie M.

Taylor & Francis Hegel and the State
Book SynopsisFranz Rosenzweig (1886â1929) is one of the most significant German Jewish philosophers of the twentieth century. Published in German in 1920 and now finally available in English for the first time, Hegel and the State is a major contribution to the understanding of Hegel's political and social thought and a profound analysis of the intellectual currents that shaped the German state in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Through careful readings of Hegelâs early handwritten manuscripts, Rosenzweig shows that Hegel was wrestling with the problem of how to reconcile the subjectivity and freedom of the individual within a community and ultimately the political state. According to Rosenzweig, the route out of this conundrum chosen by Hegel shaped his mature political philosophy, where he saw the relationship between the individual and the state as reciprocal. At a deeper level, the significance of Hegel and the State lies in the way that Rosenzweig explains the failure of Hegel's quasi-communitarian view of the state to emerge, due to the authoritarian direction of the newly unified German state under Bismarck. Anticipating the political and moral disaster that was to follow, Rosenzweig concludes by questioning the very viability of any theory of the state that relies on the pillars of bureaucratic militarism and a government-supported capitalist business culture.With the inclusion of a Foreword by Myriam Bienenstock and a substantial Afterword by Axel Honneth, Hegel and the State is a ground-breaking work of early twentieth-century philosophical and political thought. It is essential reading for students of Hegel, German Idealism, Jewish philosophy, and the origins of critical theory. It will also be of interest to those in related subjects such as the history of sociology, and German and intellectual history.Trade Review'This remarkable book by one of the twentieth century’s leading philosophers and religious thinkers, available for the first time in English translation, is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how the relationship between political and religious thought has shaped our world. For those who are interested in Hegel’s political philosophy, Rosenzweig’s book is an illuminating account of the development and political context of a way of thinking that remains relevant today. For those who are interested in Rosenzweig’s own religiously inflected thought, this volume shows both the great promise and the crushing disappointment of the German political project that is the prelude to his masterwork, The Star of Redemption.' - Paul Franks, Yale University, USA'The best book on Hegel’s political philosophy is Franz Rosenzweig’s Hegel und der Staat, which first appeared in 1920. It is the most thorough in its research, the most extensive in its coverage, and the most rigorous in exposition and argument. Despite these merits, the book has not been translated into English—until now. It appears here in a reliable and accurate translation by Josiah and Jules Simon. This is a major event in Hegel scholarship, and a major contribution to the study of Hegel in the English-speaking world.' - Frederick Beiser, Syracuse University, USATable of ContentsForeword Myriam Bienenstock Translators’ Introduction Josiah Simon and Jules Simon Translators’ Acknowledgments.
