Hardcover. Condition: New. Brand new. Clean, unmarked pages. Fine binding and cover. Hardcover. Because the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court tell us what the Constitution means, they can create constitutional change. For quite some time, general readers who have been interested in understanding those changes have not had a concise volume that explores major decisions in which those changes occur. Traditional casebooks used in law schools typically pay scant attention to the historical and political context in which cases are decided, as well as the motives of litigants, the involvement of interest groups, and the justices'concerns with policy outcomes, even though all these factors are critical to understanding the Court's decisions. Other books do address these concerns, but they almost always focus on a single policy issue rather than on a broader range of constitutional conflicts that populate the Court's docket.In order to make a wide range of decisions more accessible, Gregg Ivers and Kevin T. McGuire commissioned twenty-two outstanding scholars to write essays on a selected series of Supreme Court cases. Chosen for their contemporary relevance, most of the cases addressed in this informative reader are from the last half-century, extending right up through Bush v. Gore and the 2003 Michigan affirmative action cases.In each of these roughly two dozen cases, the authors address a number of questions that provide readers with a deeper understanding of the Court and its policies: How did the conflict originate? What role did organized interests have in the case? What did the litigants, personally and professionally, have at stake? What was the practical result of the Court's decision? Did the Court respond to lobbying or public opinion? These detailed historical and personal accounts in this all-new collection of essays offer engaging and illuminating perspectives on law and politics.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Analizar la política obliga a preguntar si se puede contar con algunas verdades, con algunos principios verdaderos. Las complejas opciones de la elección política nos impiden dar una respuesta definitiva a la única pregunta que en rigor interesa: ¿qué debería hacer el Gobierno? Si no se puede predecir lo que hará, ¿cómo evaluar entonces en qué medida lo ha hecho bien? La contribución de la teoría analítica de la política consiste en precisar las consecuencias de las diferentes formas de elección y de los deseos antagónicos de los ciudadanos. El hecho de que no haya ninguna opción defendible frente al disenso significa que los procesos democráticos probablemente fracasen cuando más los necesitamos. ¿Cuáles son las implicaciones de esta aparente incoherencia de las reglas sociales de elección? De todos modos, la deliberación política es un medio para descubrir la verdad y las buenas elecciones democráticas no son imposibles, aunque sean difíciles. Conocer las limitaciones de las instituciones y de las reglas facilitará el proceso de elegir adecuadamente. Esta introducción a las teorías analíticas de la política está especialmente diseñada para los estudiantes universitarios y para los profesores interesados en un panorama general. La obra trata de explicar por qué se toman ciertas decisiones y no otras, y se centra en la evaluación de esas decisiones. Los autores examinan paso a paso los métodos que permiten comparar la coherencia, estabilidad y previsibilidad de los resultados de distintos procesos políticos. El propósito es aclarar cómo las diferentes formas de elección política configuran el carácter de las actuaciones de las sociedades humanas. "Este libro constituye una fascinante introducción a la moderna teoría de la elección pública, pero también nos ofrece mucho más que eso. Nos enseña, en un solo volumen, por qué la democracia funciona como lo hace. " George W. Downs, Universidad de Princeton "Al igual que Downs hace cuatro décadas, Hinich y Munger arraigan firmemente su comprensión de la política en la conexión entre la masa y las elites, y de ese modo amplían la teoría de la democracia en sus aspectos más importantes y fundamentales. Los autores sitúan la democracia electoral tanto en la teoría normativa como en la positiva, enlazando así la teoría electoral de la elección racional a la teoría política tradicional. Y lo que me sorprende, sobre todo, es su demostración del conocimiento científico que hemos acumulado a lo largo de cuatro décadas, así como el esbozo de las áreas donde es posible lograr progresos aun mayores. " John Aldrich, Universidad de Duke Melvin J. Hinich es profesor de la cátedra Mike Hogg en el Departamento de Gobierno en la Universidad de Texas, Austin. Michael C. Munger es profesor adjunto de Ciencias Políticas en la Universidad de Duke. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

["To 'analyse' means to break into components and understand. But new readers find modern mathematical theories of politics so inaccessible that analysis is difficult. Where does one start? Analytical Politics is an introduction to analytical theories of politics, explicitly designed both for the interested professional and students in political science. We cannot evaluate how well governments perform without some baseline for comparison: what should governments be doing? This book focuses on the role of the 'center' in politics, drawing from the classical political theories of Aristotle, Hobbes, Rousseau, and others. The main questions in Analytical Politics involve the existence and stability of the center; when does it exist? When should the center guide policy? How do alternative voting rules help in discovering the center? An understanding of the work reviewed here is essential for anyone who hopes to evaluate the performance or predict the actions of democratic governments." - Publisher's description] Some rubbing.
