Moderates and Conservatives in Western Europe
The political parties of western Europe's Centre Right have been surprisingly neglected in contrast to the parties of the Left. This book sheds light on these parties, which include the Gaullists and Giscardians of France, the Christian Democrats in Germany and Italy, the Conservatives in Britain and the Democratic Centre Union in Spain; the Liberal parties in these countries are also covered.
Governing By Committee
Governing by Committee is the first book-length study to examine decision-making among political executives. It examines sixteen advanced Western and Communist states and shows that collegial and semi-collegial patterns are far more common than is generally assumed. Contrary to the assertions of Max Weber, Baylis contends that modern bureaucracy, with its growing role in policy-making and its intimate association with neocorporatist forms of interest group representation, offers a particularly congenial setting for collegial leadership. A timely study, Governing by Committee opens a new dimension in the comparative study of political executives. But it also complements and contributes to the existing literature on political leadership, decision-making, consociationalism, and neocorporatism. It belongs as well to the still relatively small number of works comparing the politics of advanced Western and Communist states.
The Cross and the Ballot
This comparative history of the parallel development of Catholic political parties in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and The Netherlands contributes to the debate over Germany's "Sonderweg" or "special path" by showing that this aspects of Germany's history was not unique but similar to that of neighbors.
The Swiss Labyrinth
It can be argued that Switzerland has a peculiar set of political institutions, for example decentralized federalism, active referendum democracy, and La formule magique (grand coalition). This volume focuses upon the political and social outcomes of these institutions in the 1990s.

The Oxford Handbook of Swiss Politics
This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the many different facets of the Swiss political system and of the major developments in modern Swiss politics. It brings together a diverse set of more than 50 leading experts in their respective areas, who explore Switzerland's distinctive and sometimes intriguing politics at all levels and across multiple themes. In placing the topics in an international and comparative context and in conversation with the broader scholarly literature, the contributors provide a much-needed counterpoint to the rather idealized and sometimes outdated perception of Swiss politics. The work is divided into thematic sections that represent the inherent diversit...
Das Marketing
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Eine betriebswirtschaftliche Analyse von Tatbeständen der Marketing-Dimension im politischen Spektrum erfordert den Mut, die Grenzen der heute in vielen Bereichen relativ ausgereiften wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Teildisziplin Marketing zu überwinden, und diese auf den Sachverhalt der politischen Wahlkampagne auszudehnen. Denn es handelt sich dabei zweifelsohne um einen in Österreich bislang tabuisierten Managementbereich. Die Marketing-Dimension ist dabei ein umfassendes, äußerst komplexes Phänomen. Wird sie jedoch verstanden und in der Folge bei der Problemlösung der politischen Wahlkampagnengestaltung professionell angewandt, so kann der in Österreich bi...
Transnationale Parteienkooperation der europäischen Christdemokraten und Konservativen
Christdemokratische und konservative Parteien spielten in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine immer wichtigere integrationspolitische Rolle. Es gab neue Anreize und Herausforderungen für transnationale Kontakte und organisierte Parteienkooperation. Nach dem „Genfer Kreis“ und den „Nouvelles Equipes Internationales“ (NEI) konstituierte sich die „Europäische Union Christlicher Demokraten“ (EUCD) 1965. Es folgten die Europäische Volkspartei (EVP) 1976 und die European Democrat Union (EDU) 1978. Diese Parteienzusammenschlüsse führten zur Abstimmung in politischen und ideologischen Fragen sowie zu gemeinsamem Vorgehen auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene. Dabei ging...
