Breaking The Cycle Of Political Alienation - The Impact Of Youth Representation On Democratic Engagement

de Kamila Kolodziejczyk

~~52,99€~~ 47,69€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <p>This book explores the underrepresentation of youth in political institutions and its impact on young people’s connection to democracy. The underrepresentation of youth in politics fuels a vicious cycle of political alienation. Due to the low presence of youth in political institutions, their specific interests are not adequately represented and therefore policies important to youth are not implemented, which leaves youth with feelings of apathy and disconnect to the formal political systems.</p><p>Through an original dataset spanning 52 democratic countries and over two decades, this book examines whether increasing youth representation in parliaments and government can disrupt this cycle of alienation and encourage higher electoral participation and greater satisfaction with democracy among young people.</p><p>The findings suggest that while the effects may be moderate, increased youth representation can positively influence young people''s political engagement and increase democratic satisfaction. This book offers insights for policymakers and advocates seeking to bridge the generational divide in political participation and is also an important contribution to the literature on youth political representation.</p>

Science-Policy Interfaces In Global Environmental Governance - Myths, Challenges And Opportunities

de Matteo De Dona

~~66,24€~~ 59,62€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <p>This Brief discusses science-policy interfaces (SPIs) in global environmental governance. Broadly speaking, SPIs can be understood as institutional arrangements that aim to bridge science and policy within a specific issue-area with a view to facilitating the solution of relevant societal problems. Although the scholarly literature on SPIs has grown substantially over the last two decades, there are still several myths and misconceptions about such bodies: these are often reflected in the practice of science-policy bridging within international organizations such as the United Nations. Offering an accessible discussion of the promises and pitfalls of SPIs, the book deliberately targets a hybrid audience, reaching out to both academics and practitioners. By reconstructing relevant theoretical debates across different scholarly fields, such as International Relations and Science and Technology Studies, and by taking stock of key hands-on experiences, this Brief connects the theory and practice of global SPIs, reflecting on the role of critical social science research as far as the interplay between science and policy in international environmental governance is concerned. On the basis of a balanced analysis of the strengths and shortcomings of global SPIs, this volume intends to provide readers with a faithful picture of the current international science-policy landscape as well as with an informed opportunity to evaluate these institutional arrangements’ potential for helping to address the global environmental challenges that the world is facing today.</p>

Aceh Separatism Conflict In Indonesia - The Practice Of Governance In Conflict

de Novri Susan

59,61€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <p>This book is the first to analyse the practice of governance to resolve conflict in the case of Aceh in Indonesia. Combining theoretical discourse on conflict, democracy, and governance, it draws from original field research on the separatist conflict, utilizing a social constructivist approach in collating observations and interviews with political elites from both the Government of Indonesia and the Aceh Independent Movement (GAM). The conflict was an intractable one in which thousand civilians were killed between 1976 and 2006. The author zooms into the 2003 and 2007 period, against the broader context of the political landscape of Indonesia under the Suharto regime. In doing so, the book tackles the challenges presented by intrastate conflicts relating to ethno-religiosity, land use, and separatism. It unpacks the Indonesian political system’s shift from an authoritarian regime to a democratic one, and demarcates the prevalence of state violence in managing conflicts, as exemplified in the Aceh separatism conflict. Relevent to political scientists and scholars in peace, conflict and development studies, this co-published book presents novel sociological insights into Indonesia’s historical, and contemporary, political landscape. </p>

Anti-Immigrant Attitudes - The Effect Of Grievances, Personal Interactions And Entrenched Beliefs

de Daniel Stockemer e Kofi Arhin

52,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div><br></div><div><p>This book compares anti-immigrant attitudes across 8 countries on 5 continents. It develops a general framework that explores grievances, personal interactions, and entrenched beliefs that explain anti-immigrant attitudes. Using original survey research with 1,000 respondents per country, the authors test the salience of their theoretical expectations across eight very diverse cases: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Japan, South Africa, the USA, and Turkey. The empirical study allows to decipher the degree to which the drivers of anti-immigrant attitudes are universal or context-specific. One the one hand, they find that positive interactions between natives reduce critical attitudes toward immigrants in all 8 countries. On the other hand, there are some country specific differences in the influence of various grievances and the three proxy variables measuring entrenched beliefs populist attitudes, nationalism and social conservativism. This book appeals to scholars and students of political sociology, comparative politics, public opinion research and related fields.</p><br></div>

Global Norms In Local Contexts - Examining Cases Of Environmental Governance In France

de Melissa Schnyder

46,36€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <p>This Brief discusses the translation of global environmental norms across local contexts in France. It provides a snapshot of how global-level environmental norms travel vertically across levels of governance, from the global to the local, and asks how global environmental norms are (re)interpreted by local-level actors and translated to a particular local context.</p><p>Chapters focus on three in-depth case studies, each involving multi-stakeholder environmental governance: (1) the Cerbère-Banyuls Marine Nature Reserve, (2) the Thau Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG), and (3) the Biovallée biodistrict. In each of these cases, the author assesses how twilight norms are used to frame, promote, and generally develop a local discourse that centers on environmental conservation and sustainability.</p><p>By combining concepts from the literature on norm localization with processes from the literature on norm-based institutional change, this Brief will generate new insights on the dynamic aspects of norm translation. As such, it will be of interest to researchers studying environmental politics, comparative policy, governance, and norms.</p><p></p><p></p>

Ibn Khaldun'S Theory And The Party-Political Edifice Of The United Malays National Organisation

de Syed Hamid Bin Syed Jaafar Albar

37,09€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This concise book examines the decline and erosion of UMNO as a dominant political party of Malaysia through the perspective of Ibn Khaldun''s theory of asabiyyah and umran. It uses the qualitative method of data collection from Ibn Khaldun''s original works. After discussing Ibn Khaldun''s theory of asabiyyah and umran, UMNOs umranic contributions and erosion of Malay asabiyyah are discussed in detail. The research outlines how asabiyyah led to UMNOs rise to prominence, gain of political power, bringing of progress and development of Malaysia to an umranic stage before it started to decline and erode in concordance with the five stages of Ibn Khaldun''s theory of rise and fall of civilizations. This book highlights that early leaders of UMNO played significant role in fostering group feeling and solidarity of the Malays (asabiyyah). Asabiyyah was the engine that propelled UMNO to transform the Malays and Malaysia to an umranic society. In conclusion, the later leaders of UMNO contributedto weakening of the Malay asabiyyah and the fall of UMNO from power in the 14th General Elections in 2018. The process of UMNOs decline and erosion of political power is primarily caused by the leaders’ failures and shortcomings. The author, a Malaysian lawyer and long-standing Minister in the Prime Minister''s Department, Minister of Justice, Minister of Defence, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Home Affairs in the Barisan Nasional in Malaysia, concludes with the recommendation that for UMNO to be relevant again in the current political landscape, it must initiate new and serious approaches and initiatives to change itself and must focus on good governance and rule of law in a multi-ethnic Malaysian society. Relevant to scholars and practitioners in political science, sociology, and Islamic studies, this book is a landmark commentary on contemporary Malaysian politics, drawing from the author''s own experience as a member of parliament in his various ministerial positions over three decades.
