Politics in Georgia
This new edition has been extensively updated to reflect developments in Georgia politics and government since 2007—a decade that has seen three presidential election cycles, two midterm elections, and a census. Updates reflect not only changes in how Georgia is governed but also the economic and social trends helping to drive those changes. These include the continued growth and dispersal of His panic and Asian populations; the decline, by a variety of measures, of rural areas; and the moderating effect of probusiness government factions on social conservative agendas. This edition maintains the book’s comparative approach, which examines the state from three revealing perspectives. Thi...

Allies Or Adversaries?
Beginning with Sir Michael Palliser in 1985 and concluding with Secretary General of NATO Manfred Worner in 1992, the distinguished Spaak Lectures included in this volume have addressed the fundamental questions of international politics: What is the nature of national power and influence and what are the limitations on American influence in particular? What role can Europe play in a world of changing power relationships? How will Europe react to the political, economic, social, and security challenges that have been thrust upon it in recent times? How much should Europe and the United States seek to integrate and contain Germany? Other contributors include Karl Otto Pohl, Filipe Gonzalez, Raymond Barre, Frans Andriessen, and Jiri Dienstbier. Supplemented with an introductory chapter by Richard C. Eichenberg and the transcript of the Spaak Conference held in Brussels in October 1991, this book will enrich scholars or indeed anyone seeking a deeper understanding of U.S.-European relations. Co-published with the Center for International Affairs, Harvard University.
Georgia's Constitution and Government, 10th Edition

Subsequent chapters are devoted to - the development of our federal system and the importance of constitutions in establishing authority, distributing power, and formalizing procedures - how the various state constitutions differ from each other, even as they all complement ...
New Perspectives on Negative Campaigning
Have you ever seen a politician fiercely attacking his opponent? Sure you have. Election campaigns without attacks on the rival candidate's performance, policy propositions and traits simply do not exist. Negative campaigning makes up a substantial part of election campaigns around the world. Though heavily covered in election news, the practice is strongly disliked by political pundits, journalists and voters. Some are even concerned that negative campaigning damages democracy itself. Negative campaigning has inspired numerous scholars in recent decades. But much of the existing research examines the phenomenon only in the United States, and scholars disagree on how the practice should be defined and measured, which has resulted in open-ended conclusions about its causes and effects. This unique volume presents for the first time work examining negative campaigning in the US, Europe and beyond. It presents systematic literature overviews and new work that touches upon three fundamental questions: What is negative campaigning and can we measure it? What causes negative campaigning? And what are its effects?
