Postcommunist Elites and Democracy in Eastern Europe
AvJohn Higley,Jan Pakulskim. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 1998

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Changing configurations of national elites are shaping the prospects for democracy in the countries of postcommunist Eastern Europe. In several countries (Serbia, Bulgaria, Russia) there are unchecked power struggles between elites, with regimes oscillating between democratic and authoritarian tendencies. In other countries (Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic) restrained elite competitions are being institutionalized and are leading to stable democratic regimes. These and other outcomes are analyzed for the region as a whole.

In providing a counterweight to the notion that political violence has irrevocably changed in a globalised world, Violence and the state offers an original and innovative way in which to understand political violence across a range of discipline areas. It explores the complex relationship between the state and its continued use of violence through a variety of historical and contemporary case studies, including the Napoleonic Wars, Nazi and Soviet 'eliticide', the consolidation of authority in modern China, post-Soviet Russia, and international criminal tribunals. It also looks at humanitarian intervention in cases of organised violence, and the willingness of elites to alter their attitude to violence if it is an instrument to achieve their own ends.The interdisciplinary approach, which spans history, sociology, international law and International Relations, ensures that this book will be invaluable to a broad cross-section of scholars and politically engaged readers alike.
The Death of Class
AvJan Pakulski,Malcolm Waters
Häftad, Engelska, 1995
1 856 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Traditionally class has been the key concept for understanding society, enabling analysts to interpret social conflict and predict the course of social development. Critics argue that it is too crude and incapable of handling the nuances of the new identity politics. Jan Pakulski and Malcolm Waters take the radical position within the current debates that class is a purely historical phenomenon.
This stimulating book argues that concentration on class actually diverts attention from other more central and more morally problematic inequalities. The class perspective has become a political straitjacket which obstructs an accurate understanding of contemporary social, cultural and political processes.
Toward Leader Democracy
AvJan Pakulski,András Körösényi
Inbunden, Engelska, 2012
1 131 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In today’s liberal democracies, does the political process focus on the people, or on the political leaders representing them? Building upon the ideas of Joseph Schumpeter and Max Weber, ‘Toward Leader Democracy’ argues that we are currently seeing a movement toward an increasingly pronounced focus on political leaders – ‘leader democracy’. This form of democracy is fashioned by the political will, determination and commitment of top politicians, and is exercised through elite persuasion that actively shapes the preferences of voters so as to give meaning to political processes. As the text reveals, this marks a definite evolution within the world’s ‘advanced democracies’: democratic representation is today realised increasingly through active political leadership, as opposed to the former practices of statistically ‘mirroring’ constituencies, or the deliberative self-adjustment of the executive to match citizen preferences.
Decline of Political Leadership in Australia?
Changing Recruitment and Careers of Federal Politicians
AvJan Pakulski,B. Tranter
Inbunden, Engelska, 2015
558 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book analyses the changing political recruitment of the Australian federal parliamentary elite. It argues that the elite's quality has been reduced to a worrisome degree, especially since the 1990s. It suggests that the declining quality of the Australian 'political class' is a major factor behind the declining public trust in politicians.

Pocos temas resultan tan fundamentales en Sociología como la clase y sin embargo, sigue siendo un concepto permanentemente cuestionado. Los sociólogos no sólo no se ponen de acuerdo en cuanto a la mejor definición del concepto, sino también en su función general en la teoría social y, lo que es más, en si sigue siendo relevante en el análisis de la sociedad contemporánea. Algunos opinan que, en gran medida, las clases se han difuminado en las sociedades contemporáneas; otros piensan que las clases aún suponen una de las formas principales de desigualdad y poder social. Hay quien concibe la clase como un fenómeno económico muy concreto y quien defiende una noción amplia que incluye dimensiones culturales así como condiciones económicas. Este libro explora las bases teóricas de los enfoques principales en seis capítulos escritos por expertos en la materia. A modo de conclusión presenta un mapa conceptual de estos enfoques respondiendo a la cuestión: Si las clases son la respuesta, ¿cuál es la pregunta?.
