Melville's Democracy Radical Figuration and Political Form【電子書籍】[ Jennifer Greiman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>For Herman Melville, the instability of democracy held tremendous creative potential. Examining the centrality of political thought to Melville's oeuvre, Jennifer Greiman argues that Melville's densely figurative aesthetics give form to a radical reimagining of democratic foundations, relations, and ways of beingーmodeling how we can think democracy in political theory today.</p> <p>Across Melville's five decades of writing, from his early Pacific novels to his late poetry, Greiman identifies a literary formalism that is radically political and carries the project of democratic theory in new directions. Recovering Melville's readings in political philosophy and aesthetics, Greiman shows how he engaged with key problems in political theoryーthe paradox of foundations, the vicious circles of sovereign power, the fragility of the peopleーto produce a body of radical democratic art and thought. Scenes of green and growing life, circular structures, and images of a groundless world emerge as forms for understanding democracy as a collective project in flux. In Melville's experimental aesthetics, Greiman finds a significant precursor to the tradition of radical democratic theory in the US and France that emphasizes transience and creativity over the foundations and forms prized by liberalism. Such politics, she argues, are necessarily aesthetic: attuned to material and sensible distinctions, open to new forces of creativity.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Economic Growth and Long Cycles A Classical Political Economy Approach【電子書籍】[ Nikolaos Chatzarakis ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Contemporary capitalism is characterized by periods of vigorous economic growth and periods of slow or even negative growth. This book draws on the classical political economy approach to consider both economic cycles and economic growth and draw conclusions about the inherent instability of the modern economy. The book shows that the work of the old classical economists (Smith and Ricardo) and Marx is theoretically sound and capable of providing answers to both growth and cycles. It also demonstrates the potential and natural integration of growth and cycles in a single model. The microeconomic foundation of this model is the labor theory of value, which continues with the General Law of Capital Accumulation, the Law of the Falling Rate of Profit, and the movement of the Industrial Reserve Army of Labour. Finally, a dynamic model of growth-cum-cycles is constructed consisting of the evolution and interaction of five key variables, namely, the rate of profit, the propensity to invest in fixed capital, technological change, the reserve army of labour, and the rate of capital devaluation. The analysis demonstrates that economic growth and cycles are not disconnected from each other, as they have been treated in the literature, but rather interdependent aspects of the same evolutionary process of a capitalist economy. This book will interest readers in the history of economic thought, economic growth and development, macroeconomics, and political economy.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Criminal Liability of Political Decision-Makers A Comparative Perspective【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book is dedicated to a fundamental conflict in modern states: those persons holding public office are no more than ordinary citizens. Therefore, their activities must ? as a matter of principle ? be subject to full judicial control. But at the same time, democratically legitimated politicians need some discretion in their decision-making.</p> <p>Allegations of politicians committing criminal offences in office quickly attract a great deal of media attention. Even politicians themselves frequently use such allegations to discredit their political opponents. However, to date this topic has not been fully addressed on an academic level. This book is a first step in this direction.</p> <p>The individual contributions cover topics such as:</p> <ul> <li> <p>“bad” political decisions that result in a waste of taxpayers’ money</p> </li> <li> <p>corruption and conflicts of interest in political decision-making</p> </li> <li> <p>immunities and procedural obstacles to the effective prosecution of politicians</p> </li> <li> <p>abuse of criminal law and criminal proceedings in the political arena</p> </li> <li> <p>criminal liability for decisions taken in situations of state emergency</p> </li> <li> <p>the role of criminal law in public opinion.</p> </li> </ul> <p>Leading experts examine these and other issues from a comparative perspective.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Political Economy of the Special Relationship Anglo-American Development from the Gold Standard to the Financial Crisis【電子書籍】[ Jeremy Green ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>How</strong> <strong>America's global financial power was created and shaped through its special relationship with Britain</strong><br /> The rise of global finance in the latter half of the twentieth century has long been understood as one chapter in a larger story about the postwar growth of the United States. <em>The Political Economy of the Special Relationship</em> challenges this popular narrative. Revealing the Anglo-American origins of financial globalization, Jeremy Green sheds new light on Britain’s hugely significant, but often overlooked, role in remaking international capitalism alongside America.</p> <p>Drawing from new archival research, Green questions the conventional view of international economic history as a series of cyclical transitions among hegemonic powers. Instead, he explores the longstanding interactive role of private and public financial institutions in Britain and the United Statesーmost notably the close links between their financial markets, central banks, and monetary and fiscal policies. He shows that America’s unparalleled post-WWII financial power was facilitated, and in important ways constrained, by British capitalism, as the United States often had to work with and through British politicians, officials, and bankers to achieve its vision of a liberal economic order. Transatlantic integration and competition spurred the rise of the financial sector, an increased reliance on debt, a global easing of regulation, the ascendance of monetarism, and the transition to neoliberalism.</p> <p>From the gold standard to the recent global financial crisis and beyond*, The Political Economy of the Special Relationship* recasts the history of global finance through the prism of Anglo-American development.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The New NDP Moderation, Modernization, and Political Marketing【電子書籍】[ David McGrane ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>The New NDP</em> is the definitive account of the evolution of the New Democratic Party’s political marketing strategy in the early twenty-first century. In 2011, the federal NDP achieved its greatest electoral success ? becoming the official opposition under Jack Layton’s leadership. David McGrane argues that the key to the party’s electoral success of 2011 lies in the moderation of its ideology and modernization of its campaign structures. Those changes brought the party closer to governing than ever before but ultimately not into power. McGrane then poses a difficult question: Was remaking the NDP message and revitalizing its campaign model the right choice after all, considering it fell to its perennial third-party spot in 2015? <em>The New NDP</em> examines Canada’s NDP at a pivotal time in its history and provides lessons for progressive parties on how to win elections in the age of the internet, big data, and social media.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

1984 Big Brother Is Watching You - A Political Sci-Fi Dystopia【電子書籍】[ George Orwell ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>George Orwell's 1984 is a dystopian novel that explores the dangers of totalitarianism and the erosion of individual autonomy in a surveillance state. Written in a bleak and prophetic style, Orwell's use of vivid imagery creates a sense of foreboding and unease throughout the novel. 1984 is a powerful commentary on the potential consequences of unchecked government power and the manipulation of language and truth. Orwell's work is often compared to other dystopian classics such as Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, but stands out for its stark portrayal of a bleak and oppressive future. The novel's relevance and impact continue to resonate with readers today, making it a timeless and thought-provoking work of literature. George Orwell's own experiences as a journalist and political commentator during the early 20th century informed his writing of 1984. His observations of totalitarian regimes and oppressive governments in Europe influenced the themes and tone of the novel, adding a sense of authenticity and urgency to the narrative. Orwell's commitment to exposing truth and defending individual freedom shines through in 1984, making it a seminal work in the genre of dystopian fiction. I highly recommend 1984 to readers who enjoy thought-provoking and challenging literature that explores timeless themes of power, control, and resistance.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Political Economy of Science, Technology, and Innovation in China Policymaking, Funding, Talent, and Organization【電子書籍】[ Yutao Sun ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>There are a variety of reasons underlying the remarkable development of science and technology (S&T), and innovation in post-1978 China. This book seeks to achieve an understanding of such development from an institutional or a political economy perspective. Departing from the literature of S&T and innovation studies that treats innovation as a market or enterprise's behavior in Schumpeter's sense, Sun and Cao argue that it involves politics, institutions, and the role of the state. In particular, they examine how the Chinese state has played its visible role in making innovation policies, allocating funding for R&D programs, making efforts to attract talent, and organizing critical S&T programs. This book appeals to scholars in S&T and innovation policy, political economy, innovation governance, and China studies as well as policymakers and business executives.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Moral Political Economy Present, Past, and Future【電子書籍】[ Federica Carugati ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Economies - and the government institutions that support them - reflect a moral and political choice, a choice we can make and remake. Since the dawn of industrialization and democratization in the late eighteenth century, there has been a succession of political economic frameworks, reflecting changes in technology, knowledge, trade, global connections, political power, and the expansion of citizenship. The challenges of today reveal the need for a new moral political economy that recognizes the politics in political economy. It also requires the redesign of our social, economic, and governing institutions based on assumptions about humans as social beings rather than narrow self-serving individualists. This Element makes some progress toward building a new moral political economy by offering both a theory of change and some principles for institutional (re)design.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Ideologies of Conservatism Conservative Political Ideas in the Twentieth Century【電子書籍】[ E. H. H. Green ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>John Stuart Mill described the Conservatives as 'the stupidest party', yet they governed the UK for nearly three-quarters of the twentieth century. Conservative leaders typically have been and are explicitly anti-intellectual, yet the party is not without an intellectual history of its own. <em>Ideologies of Conservatism</em> charts developments and changes in the nature of Conservative political thought and the meaning of Conservatism throughout the twentieth century. Ewen Green's penetrating study explores the Conservative mind from the Edwardian crisis under Balfour to the Thatcherite 1980s and beyond. It examines how Conservative thinkers, politicians, and activists sought to define the problems they faced, what they thought they were arguing against, and what audiences they were seeking to reach. This is the only study which blends the history of Conservative thought with the party's political action, and it offers significant new insights into the political culture of the 'Conservative Century'.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Reflections on the Revolution in France Enriched edition. A Critical Analysis of Revolutionary Movements and Political Theory in the Enlightenment Era【電子書籍】[ Edmund Burke ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Reflections on the Revolution in France," Edmund Burke offers a profound examination of the tumultuous political transformations occurring during the late 18th century, particularly the French Revolution. Written in a polemical and eloquent style, the work critiques the radical changes instigated by revolutionary fervor, emphasizing the importance of tradition, social order, and gradual reform. Burke's reflections pivot on the philosophical underpinnings of liberty and authority, drawing on the rich tapestry of European Enlightenment thought while contrasting it with the revolutionary excesses that he foresees as dangerous and destabilizing. This text serves as an essential discourse on the volatile interplay between society and government, asserting that abrupt changes can unravel the social fabric upon which civilization relies. Edmund Burke, an Irish statesman and philosopher, is widely regarded as the father of modern conservatism. His lived experience during a period of turmoil fostered a deep appreciation for the complexities of governance and the historical roots of societal structures. The polemic was partly inspired by his observations of the American Revolution and a fervent belief that the lessons of history must inform political action. Burke's insights reveal his skepticism towards unbridled democracy and his steadfast commitment to incremental reform as a means of preserving societal stability. Readers seeking a nuanced understanding of political philosophy and the consequences of revolution will find "Reflections on the Revolution in France" indispensable. Burke's eloquence and compelling arguments present a cautionary tale about the risks associated with radicalism and the value of tradition.

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Constitution of the Empire of Japan, promulgated in 1889, marks a pivotal moment in Japanese history, serving as the nation's first modern constitution. Written in a style that merges traditional Japanese aesthetics with Western legal norms, the document reflects Japan's endeavor to embrace modernization while maintaining its imperial sovereignty. The Constitution introduced a bicameral legislature, the Diet, and established the principles of a constitutional monarchy, mirroring contemporary European practices yet deeply rooted in Japan's unique socio-political context. It encapsulates the complexities of a nation straddling tradition and modernization during the Meiji Restoration. The authorship of this landmark text is often attributed to influential figures like It?? Hirobumi, who played a critical role in Japan's transition from feudalism to a more democratic governance model. Drawing from various foreign constitutions, including those of Germany and the United States, Hirobumi'??s work reflects both an acknowledgment of the need for reform and a cautious approach toward adopting foreign ideals, thus showcasing Japan's desire to assert itself on the global stage without losing its cultural identity. This constitution is essential reading for those interested in the foundations of modern governance and the historical trajectory of Japan. It provides invaluable insights into the interplay of tradition and progress, making it a significant text for scholars of legal history, political science, and East Asian studies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Political economy【電子書籍】[ William Stanley Jevons ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Political Economy," William Stanley Jevons presents a pioneering examination of economic theory through the lens of utilitarianism and marginalism. Written in the late 19th century, this work occupies a crucial position within the context of classical economics and the emerging neoclassical paradigm. Jevons employs a clear and systematic literary style, combining rigorous mathematical analysis with accessible prose, making complex concepts understandable for a broader audience. He introduces the notion of utility as central to decision-making processes, which reflects the evolving dialogue on the value of commodities and human behavior in market dynamics. William Stanley Jevons, an influential British economist and logician, laid the groundwork for modern economic thought. His keen interest in the principles of utility and efficient resource allocation can be traced back to his scientific background and involvement in the study of logic. Jevons's commitment to empirical observation and his dissatisfaction with prior economic theories propelled him to advance these ideas, culminating in this seminal text that challenges traditional views on value and exchange. For anyone interested in understanding the foundations of economic theory and its practical implications, Jevons's "Political Economy" is an essential read. It not only serves as an intellectual milestone in the evolution of economics but also encourages readers to contemplate the broader societal impacts of economic decisions. This work is invaluable for students, scholars, and practitioners seeking to deepen their comprehension of economic principles and their relevance in contemporary discourse.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Japan Transformed Political Change and Economic Restructuring【電子書籍】[ Michael F. Thies ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>With little domestic fanfare and even less attention internationally, Japan has been reinventing itself since the 1990s, dramatically changing its political economy, from one managed by regulations to one with a neoliberal orientation. Rebuilding from the economic misfortunes of its recent past, the country retains a formidable economy and its political system is healthier than at any time in its history. <em>Japan Transformed</em> explores the historical, political, and economic forces that led to the country's recent evolution, and looks at the consequences for Japan's citizens and global neighbors.</p> <p>The book examines Japanese history, illustrating the country's multiple transformations over the centuries, and then focuses on the critical and inexorable advance of economic globalization. It describes how global economic integration and urbanization destabilized Japan's postwar policy coalition, undercut the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's ability to buy votes, and paved the way for new electoral rules that emphasized competing visions of the public good. In contrast to the previous system that pitted candidates from the same party against each other, the new rules tether policymaking to the vast swath of voters in the middle of the political spectrum. Regardless of ruling party, Japan's politics, economics, and foreign policy are on a neoliberal path.</p> <p><em>Japan Transformed</em> combines broad context and comparative analysis to provide an accurate understanding of Japan's past, present, and future.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Advances in Experimental Political Science【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Experimental political science has changed. In two short decades, it evolved from an emergent method to an accepted method to a primary method. The challenge now is to ensure that experimentalists design sound studies and implement them in ways that illuminate cause and effect. Ethical boundaries must also be respected, results interpreted in a transparent manner, and data and research materials must be shared to ensure others can build on what has been learned. This book explores the application of new designs; the introduction of novel data sources, measurement approaches, and statistical methods; the use of experiments in more substantive domains; and discipline-wide discussions about the robustness, generalizability, and ethics of experiments in political science. By exploring these novel opportunities while also highlighting the concomitant challenges, this volume enables scholars and practitioners to conduct high-quality experiments that will make key contributions to knowledge.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Political Theory of Neoliberalism【電子書籍】[ Thomas Biebricher ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Neoliberalism has become a dirty word. In political discourse, it stigmatizes a political opponent as a market fundamentalist; in academia, the concept is also mainly wielded by its critics, while those who might be seen as actual neoliberals deny its very existence. Yet the term remains necessary for understanding the varieties of capitalism across space and time. Arguing that neoliberalism is widely misunderstood when reduced to a doctrine of markets and economics alone, this book shows that it has a political dimension that we can reconstruct and critique. Recognizing the heterogeneities within and between both neoliberal theory and practice, <em>The Political Theory of Neoliberalism</em> looks to distinguish between the two as well as to theorize their relationship. By examining the views of state, democracy, science, and politics in the work of six major figuresーEucken, R?pke, R?stow, Hayek, Friedman, and Buchananーit offers the first comprehensive account of the varieties of neoliberal political thought. Ordoliberal perspectives, in particular, emerge in a new light. Turning from abstract to concrete, the book also interprets recent neoliberal reforms of the European Union to offer a diagnosis of contemporary capitalism more generally. The latest economic crises hardly brought the neoliberal era to an end. Instead, as Thomas Biebricher shows, we are witnessing an authoritarian liberalism whose reign has only just begun.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Carbon Democracy Political Power in the Age of Oil【電子書籍】[ Timothy Mitchell ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>With the rise of coal power, the producers who oversaw its development acquired the ability to shut down energy systems, a threat they used to build the first mass democracies. Oil offered the West an alternative, and with it came a new form of politics. Oil created a denatured political life the central object of which-the economy-appeared capable of infinite growth. What followed was a Western democracy dependent on an undemocratic Middle East. We now live with the consequences: an impoverished political practice, incapable of addressing the crises that threaten to end the age of carbon democracy - namely, the disappearance of cheap energy and the carbon-fuelled collapse of the ecological order.</p> <p>For the updated edition of this classic title, Timothy Mitchell has written a new preface, reassessing its arguments in the light of recent political events.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Theoretical Study On China's Political Economy【電子書籍】[ Yinxing Hong ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In an open world, the socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics features openness. If China expects to participate and play a leading role in the governance of global economy in economic globalization, it needs to adopt a common discourse to foster its economy to 'go global.' The common discourse can be obtained in a market economy as well as among developing countries eager to seek development. This book attempts to theorize the socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics by absorbing critically the well-established economic theories worldwide. The selective learning of western economics in terms of theories and categories is based on China's full confidence in the theory, path and system with the adherence to the core socialist values as a presupposition. The author argues that the socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics in the new era is a Marxist political economy in contemporary China. The book clearly states that the construction of its theoretical system should combine Marxist theories with China's practice, especially after the reform and opening-up; progress with the times and target the principal social contradiction in the new era; and address China's challenges in growing stronger, or in other words, modernization.This book is a valuable reading on the new development of the various schools of thoughts on China's political economy over the last few decades. It can be used as a textbook for college students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of economics, China studies, politics and sociology.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Sociophysics A Physicist's Modeling of Psycho-political Phenomena【電子書籍】[ Serge Galam ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Do humans behave much like atoms? Sociophysics, which uses tools and concepts from the physics of disordered matter to describe some aspects of social and political behavior, answers in the affirmative. But advocating the use of models from the physical sciences to understand human behavior could be perceived as tantamount to dismissing the existence of human free will and also enabling those seeking manipulative skills . This thought-provoking book argues it is just the contrary.</p> <p>Indeed, future developments and evaluation will either show sociophysics to be inadequate, thus supporting the hypothesis that people can primarily be considered to be free agents, or valid, thus opening the path to a radically different vision of society and personal responsibility. This book attempts to explain why and how humans behave much like atoms, at least in some aspects of their collective lives, and then proposes how this knowledge can serve as a unique key to a dramatic leap forwards in achieving more social freedom in the real world. At heart, sociophysics and this book are about better comprehending the richness and potential of our social interaction, and so distancing ourselves from inanimate atoms.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Slavery & Four Years of War (Vol.1&2) A Political History of Slavery in the United States Together With a Narrative of the Civil War【電子書籍】[ Joseph Warren Keifer ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The writer of this book was a volunteer officer in the Union army throughout the war of the Great Rebellion, and his service was in the field. The book, having been written while the author was engaged in a somewhat active professional life, lacks that literary finish which results from much pruning and painstaking. He, however, offers no excuse for writing it, nor for its completion; he has presumed to nothing but the privilege of telling his own story in his own way. He has been at no time forgetful of the fact that he was a subordinate in a great conflict, and that other soldiers discharged their duties as faithfully as himself; and while no special favors are asked, he nevertheless hopes that what he has written may be accepted as the testimony of one who entertains a justifiable pride in having been connected with large armies and a participant in important campaigns and great battles.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
