Societal Self-empowerment in Germany
Most recently, various groups have drawn attention to their political causes by demonstratively breaking the law, whether it is violating compulsory education in Fridays for Future demonstrations or refusing to abide by pandemic containment measures among critics of the Corona policy. This book explores what lies behind these rule-breaking events: supporters of the Fridays for Future movement, while dissatisfied with climate policy, are well integrated into the political system; people who may not abide by Corona rules, on the other hand, sometimes exhibit considerable alienation from and distrust of the political system.
Theories Of The Policy Process
Theories of the Policy Process provides a forum for the experts in policy process research to present the basic propositions, empirical evidence, latest updates, and the promising future research opportunities of each policy process theory. In this thoroughly revised fifth edition, each chapter has been updated to reflect recent empirical work, innovative theorizing, and a world facing challenges of historic proportions with climate change, social and political inequities, and pandemics, among recent events. Updated and revised chapters include Punctuated Equilibrium Theory, Multiple Streams Framework, Policy Feedback Theory, Advocacy Coalition Framework, Narrative Policy Framework, Institut...
Economic Efficiency-democratic Empowerment
Germany and Britain are two major European economies that have been trying to confront the challenges of globalisation in very different ways. Britain has favoured market liberal strategies; Germany has endeavoured to retain its tradition of consensualism and the strong welfare state. Focusing on the period since 1997/8, this book explores the controversies and struggles surrounding the agendas of social, economic, and political modernisation in the two countries. The New Labour governments in Britain and the Social Democratic coalition governments in Germany have been introducing a range of reform policies designed to reform the welfare state and increase the respective country's competitiv...
Föderalismusreform in Deutschland
Vier Jahre nach Verabschiedung der ersten Stufe der Föderalismusreform ist es Zeit für eine erste Bilanz: Sind die angestrebten Ziele der Entflechtung von Kompetenzen und der Verringerung des Blockadepotenzials des Bundesrates erreicht worden? Lässt sich eine Abkehr des deutschen Föderalismus von dem über lange Zeit gewachsenen Unitarisierungspfad beobachten oder behalten die Skeptiker recht, die die Verfassungsreform als zu halbherzig und im Ergebnis wirkungslos kritisieren? Die Autoren dieses Bandes geben empirisch fundierte Antworten auf diese Fragen. Darüber hinaus werden Ergebnisse der vergleichenden Forschung über Verfassungsreformen vorgestellt, aus der deutlich wird, welche institutionellen und akteursspezifischen Rahmenbedingungen erfolgreiche Reformen begünstigen.
Inside a Public Policy Black Box
Michael J. DeLor focuses on how the operation and regulation of private electric utilities has become complicated and contentious in the United States in part because of environmental impact. As a consequence, Congress rarely passes substantive economic-based legislation dealing with the topic, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), as the primary federal economic regulator of private electric utilities, must often act without clear legislative guidance.
Methods of the Policy Process
The increasingly global study of policy processes faces challenges with scholars applying theories in radically different national and cultural contexts. Questions frequently arise about how to conduct policy process research comparatively and among this global community of scholars. Methods of the Policy Process is the first book to remedy this situation, not by establishing an orthodoxy or imposing upon the policy process community a rigid way of conducting research but, instead, by allowing the leading researchers in the different theoretical traditions a space to share the means by which they put their research into action. This edited volume serves as a companion volume and supplemental...
Diminishing Returns
A set of state of the art empirical analyses at the country, regional, and global level that work from a new theoretical framework that analyzes the politics of growth and stagnation. As highlighted by the recent debate on 'secular stagnation,' economic growth has slowed down considerably, and this has given rise to a host of new problems, from financial instability to the collapse of mainstream parties. What happens when growth—the main mechanism of capitalist legitimation—is harder to come by and less broadly shared? And how should we think about capitalist diversity in the context of global stagnation? In Diminishing Returns, Lucio Baccaro, Mark Blyth, and Jonas Pontusson address thes...
The Partisan Politics of Law and Order
Why have some Western democracies turned toward tougher law and order policies whereas others have not? Based on quantitative analyses and case studies of four countries, The Partisan Politics of Law and Order demonstrates that the configuration of party systems and institutional context play a key role in the development of law and order policies.
Wahlen und Wähler
Am 21. Juli 2005 löste Bundespräsident Horst Köhler den 15. Deutschen Bundestag auf und machte damit den Weg zu einer vorgezogenen Neuwahl frei. Anlass war die Niederlage der rot-grünen Koalition bei der Landtagswahl in Nordrhein-Westfalen am 22. Mai 2005, einem Bundesland, das sich seit 1966 zu einer Hochburg der SPD ent- ckelt hatte. Die Ursachen lagen freilich tiefer. Der amtierenden Bundesregierung war es nicht gelungen, die Wählerschaft von der Notwendigkeit der von ihr eingeleiteten Reform des Sozialstaates zu überzeugen. Der Streit über die Agenda 2010, mit der Bundeskanzler Schröder sein politisches Schicksal verknüpft hatte, spaltete nicht nur die deutsche Gesellschaft, son...
Handbuch Regierungsforschung
Modernes Regieren ist ein komplexer Prozess und ein facettenreiches Forschungsfeld. Das Handbuch verleiht den vielfältigen Leitfragen, Untersuchungsobjekten und Forschungsständen der (komparativen) Regierungslehre eine systematische Darstellung. Sie beginnt auf der Makroebene politischer Systeme, führt über die Institutionen und Interaktionen politischer Organisationen auf der Mesoebene und erreicht schließlich mit individuellen Führungsstilen und Handlungsmustern die Mikroebene des Regierens. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist dabei stets die Frage nach der Legitimation und Effektivität demokratischen Regierens in Deutschland und anderen westlichen Verfassungsstaaten, die angesichts der Krisen entgrenzter Märkte und der wachsenden Bedeutung transnationaler Entscheidungsprozesse neue Brisanz erhalten hat.
