Party-System Collapse
Author: Jason Seawright
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804783926
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Most party systems are relatively stable over time. Yet in the 1980s and 1990s, established party systems in Peru and Venezuela broke down, leading to the elections of outsider Alberto Fujimori and anti-party populist Hugo Chavez. Focusing on these two cases, this book explores the causes of systemic collapse. To date, scholars have pointed to economic crises, the rise of the informal economy, and the charisma and political brilliance of Fujimori and Chavez to explain the changes in Peru and Venezuela. This book uses economic data, surveys, and experiments to show that these explanations are incomplete. Political scientist Jason Seawright argues that party-system collapse is motivated fundamentally by voter anger at the traditional political parties, which is produced by corruption scandals and failures of representation. Integrating economic, organizational, and individual considerations, Seawright provides a new explanation and compelling new evidence to present a fuller picture of voters' decisions and actions in bringing about party-system collapse, and the rise of important outsider political leaders in South America.

Territory
Author: David Delaney
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1405153059
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
This short introduction conveys the complexities associated with the term "territory" in a clear and accessible manner. It surveys the field and brings theory to ground in the case of Palestine. A clear and accessible introduction to the complexities associated with the term "territory". Provides an interdisciplinary survey of the many strands of research in the field. Addresses specific areas including interpretations of territorial structures; the relationship between territoriality and scale; the validity and fluidity of territory; and the practical, social processes associated with territorial re-configurations. Stresses that our understanding of territory is inseparable from our understanding of power. Uses Israel/Palestine as an extended illustrative case study. The author’s strong legal and geographical background gives the work an authoritative perspective.

The Common Good in Late Medieval Political Thought
Author: M. S. Kempshall
Publisher: Oxford University Press on Demand
ISBN: 9780198207160
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
This study offers a major reinterpretation of medieval political thought by examining one of its most fundamental ideas. If it was axiomatic that the goal of human society should be the common good, then this notion presented at least two conceptual alternatives. Did it embody the highest moral ideals of happiness and the life of virtue, or did it represent the more pragmatic benefits of peace and material security? Political thinkers from Thomas Aquinas to William of Ockham answered thisquestion in various contexts. In theoretical terms, they were reacting to the rediscovery of Aristotle's Politics and Ethics, an event often seen as pivotal in the history of political thought. On a practical level, they were faced with pressing concerns over the exercise of both temporal and ecclesiastical authority - resistance to royal taxation and opposition to the jurisdiction of the pope. In establishing the connections between these different contexts, The Common Good questions the identification of Aristotle as the primary catalyst for the emergence of 'the individual' and a 'secular' theory of the state. Through a detailed exposition of scholastic political theology, it argues that the roots of any such developments should be traced, instead, to Augustine and the Bible.

Estudios sobre la función y el estatuto constitucional de los partidos políticos
Author: López Nieto, Lourdes
Publisher: Marcial Pons
ISBN: 8413816343
Category : Law
Languages : es
Pages : 389
Book Description
Desde hace aproximadamente una década los Estados democráticos están atravesando una fase de «crisis», tanto en el sentido de cambios relevantes respecto a lo que venía siendo su normal funcionamiento, como en el sentido de un cierto cuestionamiento del propio sistema. Esa «crisis», como no podía ser de otra manera, afecta, y responde en parte también, a quienes son sus actores fundamentales e imprescindibles, los partidos políticos. En este contexto se planteó el proyecto de investigación DER2017-84733-R (Partidos políticos: origen, función y revisión de su estatuto constitucional), integrado por especialistas del Derecho constitucional de partidos, pero también de la ciencia y la sociología políticas, y orientado a la actualización y el fortalecimiento de una teoría constitucional de los partidos que sirva al fin último de asegurar el mantenimiento y correcto funcionamiento del Estado democrático. Buena parte de los resultados de ese proyecto se han recogido en este libro colectivo, que reúne a once autores, y ofrece un conjunto de estudios sobre la función y el estatuto constitucional de estas organizaciones. La primera parte se dedica a la función de los partidos políticos y muestra cómo la ciencia política ha entendido y explicado las funciones de los partidos en los sistemas políticos, las transformaciones sufridas por dichas funciones en las democracias actuales, y la constitucionalización de la función de los partidos y sus consecuencias. La segunda parte se dedica al análisis del estatuto constitucional de los partidos y, en concreto, de los aspectos más controvertidos del mismo. Estos estudios se han ordenado en atención al principio constitucional de dicho estatuto al que se refieren (libertad, igualdad, democracia interna y transparencia y rendición de cuentas) y analizan aspectos tan relevantes como el registro de partidos, la medición de la democracia interna, la igualdad de oportunidades en campaña electoral, o la financiación de los partidos.

Weak Courts, Strong Rights
Author: Mark Tushnet
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400828155
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Unlike many other countries, the United States has few constitutional guarantees of social welfare rights such as income, housing, or healthcare. In part this is because many Americans believe that the courts cannot possibly enforce such guarantees. However, recent innovations in constitutional design in other countries suggest that such rights can be judicially enforced--not by increasing the power of the courts but by decreasing it. In Weak Courts, Strong Rights, Mark Tushnet uses a comparative legal perspective to show how creating weaker forms of judicial review may actually allow for stronger social welfare rights under American constitutional law. Under "strong-form" judicial review, as in the United States, judicial interpretations of the constitution are binding on other branches of government. In contrast, "weak-form" review allows the legislature and executive to reject constitutional rulings by the judiciary--as long as they do so publicly. Tushnet describes how weak-form review works in Great Britain and Canada and discusses the extent to which legislatures can be expected to enforce constitutional norms on their own. With that background, he turns to social welfare rights, explaining the connection between the "state action" or "horizontal effect" doctrine and the enforcement of social welfare rights. Tushnet then draws together the analysis of weak-form review and that of social welfare rights, explaining how weak-form review could be used to enforce those rights. He demonstrates that there is a clear judicial path--not an insurmountable judicial hurdle--to better enforcement of constitutional social welfare rights.
