The Politics of Social Science Research
Author: P. Ratcliffe
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230504957
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
This book addresses some of the key questions facing contemporary social scientists. What is the point of our research? Who undertakes it? Does it have any impact on the social world it attempts to characterize: if so, what? It does so by focusing on international research on identity and inequality grounded in 'race' and ethnic difference. The contributors to the volume ask searching questions about the politics of research funding, the empowerment of minorities, and the prospects for meaningful change.

Power-Sharing and Consociational Theory
Author: Brighid Brooks Kelly
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030141918
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
Fifty years ago, academics and policymakers throughout the world agreed that it was impossible for certain sets of historically antagonistic groups to coexist peacefully on a long-term basis. This book examines the system of consociation, which was identified by Arend Lijphart and ended that pessimistic consensus. Lijphart’s specific observations concerning the impact of consociation are assessed quantitatively and qualitatively, facilitated through careful operationalization of his descriptions of consociation’s four components: grand coalition, minority veto, proportionality, and segmental autonomy. Insights derived from a dataset representing the experiences of eighty-eight countries are examined further through case study analysis of the seven societies most often discussed in relation to consociation: Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, South Africa, and Switzerland. The components of consociation are found to promote lasting peace in divided societies most successfully when combined with additional incentives for the encouragement of cross-cutting cleavages and shared loyalties.

The Press in Times of Crisis
Author: Lloyd E. Chiasson
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313389217
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Throughout American history, the press has been incredibly adept at making the public aware. The history of the press in crisis situations is in many ways the story of public attitudes and the story of America. This book looks at the press over time and the way it has functioned in times of crisis. It considers press coverage of 13 events, spanning a time frame that includes the birth of the nation, its political, economic, and social struggles as a young country, and its civil war. It tells how a young agrarian society grew into an industrial giant, and how it changed from isolationist to a world power. It relates how this country coped with the growth of socialism, two world wars, civil unrest, and with the problem of world overpopulation. The American press has performed various functions throughout the years. The Colonial Press served as a vehicle of discussion, debate, and finally agitation and, in the process, may have defined itself and laid a groundwork for the press's future roles. The press has agitated, advocated, and persuaded. It has been duped, it has been unfair, and it has misled. This volume considers such concepts as advocacy journalism, a central theme of the chapters on abolitionists and David Duke, and social responsibility, a primary part of the chapter on Japanese-American internment. The press's attempt to lead public opinion is the focus of the chapters on the partisan press, the antebellum period, and the first Red Scare in 1919. The chapter on Joseph McCarthy looks at the concepts of objectivity and the use and misuse of pseudo news. The final chapter, on overpopulation, deals extensively with agenda setting.

Menschenrechte und ihre Kritiker
Author: Dieter Gosewinkel
Publisher: Wallstein Verlag
ISBN: 3835342630
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Unterschiedliche historische Spielarten der Menschenrechtskritik und deren Wirkungsgeschichte. Während die 1990er Jahre als eine Hochzeit der internationalen Menschenrechtsbewegung galten, ist die Debatte über Menschenrechte seit einigen Jahren zunehmend von Skepsis und Pessimismus geprägt. Schlagworte wie "Endzeit" oder "Dämmerung" der Menschenrechte sollen signalisieren, dass mit dem Internationalen Recht auch die Menschenrechte in eine Legitimationskrise geraten sind. Teilweise speist sich die gegenwärtige Kritik aus tagespolitischen Entwicklungen, greift vielfach aber auch auf grundsätzlichere Argumente zurück. Diese haben die Auseinandersetzung über Gehalt und Geltungskraft der Menschenrechtsidee von Anfang an begleitet. Denn schon immer war die Genese moderner Menschenrechtskonzeptionen eng mit deren jeweiligen Gegenentwürfen verwoben. Dabei lassen sich pragmatische Kritik und grundsätzliche Gegnerschaft nur selten auseinanderhalten. Menschenrechtskritik entsprang vielschichtigen Motivlagen und trat zudem in unterschiedlichen Mischungsverhältnissen und Schattierungen auf. Dieser Befund fordert dazu heraus, das Phänomen der Menschenrechtskritik zu historisieren und zu systematisieren.
