The Frauenstein Letters
This book investigates the migration of nearly 20% of the population from the village of Frauenstein-Wiesbaden (Germany) in the mid nineteenth century (1852-54) to Australia, using the letters and diaries of the towns-people, as well as official records and documentation. These migrants were imported as indentured workers for the developing wine industry, being sponsored by the Australian colonial authorities, and their stories make a significant contribution to both the migration debate as well as early Australian history. Using the voices of ordinary people revealed in their writing to and from Europe (the Frauenstein Letters) gives new insights into the migration process: What urged these...

Contours of the Illiberal State
Globalisierung war zu keinem Zeitpunkt ohne staatliches Handeln möglich. Aber es macht für Demokratien einen Unterschied, ob der Staat versucht, in sozialen und ökologischen Fragen aktiv zu intervenieren - oder ob er, als illiberaler Staat, abseits der politischen Öffentlichkeit lediglich die Rahmenbedingungen für die Ausweitung globaler Märkte schafft. Die hier versammelten Beiträge richten einen historisch vergleichenden Blick auf die anhaltende, zentrale Rolle des US-amerikanischen Staats in der Smart Economy.
Parliaments and Political Change in Asia
This study of the national parliaments of India, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand is inspired by four major theoretical discourses: neo-institutionalism, parliamentarianism versus presidentialism, majoritarian versus consensus democracy, and transition theory. The book examines the specific role of parliaments in political decision-making, regime change, democratization, and consolidation of democracy in a comparative perspective. It argues that parliaments play a greater part in the political decision-making than is often asserted and that there is no cogent causal relationship between parliamentary performance and system of government.
Constitutional Reform of National Legislatures
Despite the importance of second chambers to the success of constitutional democracies around the world, today many fundamental questions about bicameralism remain understudied and undertheorized. What makes bicameral reform so difficult? Why choose bicameralism over unicameralism? What are the constitutional values of bicameralism? This innovative book addresses these questions and many more from comparative, doctrinal, empirical, historical and theoretical perspectives.
Beyond Presidentialism and Parliamentarism
This book elaborates a theory of 'semi-parliamentary government', an often neglected form of government that instantiates the principle of the separation of powers, by demonstrating how it reconciles important benefits of both presidential and parliamentary systems.
The Crossroads Elections
This wide-ranging collection acquaints American college instructors with insightful contributions and critical reflections from Europe on the study of campaigns, elections, Congress, and political behavior. Using an organizing conceptual framework of a "crossroads," which sets two parties apart on traditional democratic values, more than a dozen experts examine the political environment, issues, candidates, campaigns, media, and voters of the 2022 midterm election. Distinctive in its breadth of topics, the book covers many new issues and the most controversial aspects of 2022 using a combination of statistical and descriptive analysis. These include but are not limited to: election results, unique features of midterm elections, the role of the Supreme Court and gerrymandering in 2022, intra-party cleavages, election denialism, the role of media and campaign finance, U.S. support of Ukraine, European public opinion on American democracy, and 2022 midterm as stage setter for the 2024 presidential election.

Amerikanisierung bundesrepublikanischer Wahlkämpfe – Fakt oder Fiktion? Eine systematische Überprüfung der Amerikanisierungsthese am Beispiel des Bundestagswahlkampfes 2009
Spätestens seit dem Bundestagswahlkampf von 1961 ist in regelmäßigen Abständen von einer Amerikanisierung bundesrepublikanischer Wahlkämpfe die Rede. Doch was bedeutet Amerikanisierung eigentlich? Welche Charakteristika machen einen ‚amerikanisierten’ Wahlkampf aus? Und trifft die Annahme, deutsche Wahlkämpfe würden verstärkt Anleihen am amerikanischen Prototyp als ‚leading edge’ innovativer Wahlkampfführung nehmen, wirklich zu? Auf jene Fragen will diese Studie eine Antwort geben. Auf der Basis zweier von Fritz Plasser entwickelter Transfermodelle wird dabei am Beispiel des Bundestagswahlkampfes 2009 geprüft, ob und in welchem Umfang von einer Amerikanisierung bundesrepubl...
