Download or read book The Scottish Political System Since Devolution written by Paul Cairney and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a narrative of Scottish politics since devolution in 1999. It compares eight years of coalition government under Scottish Labour and the Scottish Liberal Democrats with four years of Scottish National Party minority government. It outlines the relative effect of each government on Scottish politics and public policy in various contexts, including: high expectations for ‘new politics' that were never fully realised; the influence of, and reactions from, the media and public; the role of political parties; the Scottish Government's relations with the UK Government, EU institutions, local government, quasi-governmental and non-governmental actors; and, the finance available to fund policy initiatives. It then considers how far Scotland has travelled on the road to constitutional change, comparing the original devolved framework with calls for independence or a new devolution settlement. The book draws heavily on information produced since 1999 by the Scottish Devolution Monitoring project (which forms one part of the devolution monitoring project led by the Constitution Unit, UCL) and is supplemented by new research on public policy, minority government, intergovernmental relations and constitutional change.

Download or read book Political party finance written by Committee on Standards in Public Life and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee on Standards in Public Life spent a year looking at party political finance. The majority report believes that the only safe way to remove big money from party funding is to put a cap on donations from all sources, individuals and organisations, of £10,000 in any one year. Trade union affiliation fees could be regarded as a collection of individual donations providing the members individually opt-in to the fee. The cap would have a significant impact on the income of the major parties, and would inevitably require a compensating increase in support for parties from public funds. The public funding should depend on the number of votes secured in the previous election, at the rate of £3.00 a vote in Westminster elections and £1.50 a vote in devolved and European elections. This proposal would result in an annual support amount of some £23 million, equivalent to about 50p per elector per year. Income tax relief, similar to Gift Aid, should be available on donations of up to £1000 and on membership fees to political parties. Another main recommendation, among the 24 in the report, is that the existing limits on campaign spending in the period before an election should be cut by the order of 15 per cent. The proposals will create challenges for the Electoral Commission, and the Committee suggests the recommendations are implemented in time for the start of the next Parliament in 2015. Two members representing political parties dissented from some of the recommendations.

Download or read book Why Ethnic Parties Succeed written by Kanchan Chandra and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-15 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some ethnic parties succeed in attracting the support of their target ethnic group while others fail? In a world in which ethnic parties flourish in both established and emerging democracies alike, understanding the conditions under which such parties rise and fall is of critical importance to both political scientists and policy makers. Drawing on a study of variation in the performance of ethnic parties in India, this book builds a theory of ethnic party performance in 'patronage democracies'. Chandra shows why individual voters and political entrepreneurs in such democracies condition their strategies not on party ideologies or policy platforms, but on a headcount of co-ethnics and others across party personnel and among the electorate.
Download or read book Women Writers and Old Age in Great Britain 1750 1850 written by Devoney Looser and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study explores the later lives and late-life writings of more than two dozen British women authors active during the long eighteenth century. Drawing on biographical materials, literary texts, and reception histories, Devoney Looser finds that far from fading into moribund old age, female literary greats such as Anna Letitia Barbauld, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hester Lynch Piozzi, and Jane Porter toiled for decades after they achieved acclaim -- despite seemingly concerted attempts by literary gatekeepers to marginalize their later contributions. Though these remarkable women wrote and published well into old age, Looser sees in their late careers the necessity of choosing among several different paths. These included receding into the background as authors of "classics," adapting to grandmotherly standards of behavior, attempting to reshape masculinized conceptions of aged wisdom, or trying to create entirely new categories for older women writers. In assessing how these writers affected and were affected by the culture in which they lived, and in examining their varied reactions to the prospect of aging, Looser constructs careful portraits of each of her Subjects and explains why many turned toward retrospection in their later works. In illuminating the powerful and often poorly recognized legacy of the British women writers who spurred a marketplace revolution in their earlier years only to find unanticipated barriers to acceptance in later life, Looser opens up new scholarly territory in the burgeoning field of feminist age studies.

Download or read book We Don t Believe You written by John Redwood and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dramatic new book John Redwood gives us fresh insights into why the populist movements and parties have been winning elections. He looks at how the experts and narrative pushed out by the established elites on both sides of the Atlantic have met with disbelief as well as with strong opposition. He shows how great parties have been all but destroyed as election winning forces as new movements and people sweep them aside.From the establishment himself as an expert and a member of one of the traditional parties, he seeks to show how the sensible elites adjust and respond to new moods and new ideas instead of confronting or denying them. In too many cases a rigid and unhappy elite just keeps shouting back the same things people do not want to hear.One of the worst features of what is happening is the inability of the two sides to understand each other or to work together. The establishment shows scorn for the populists and keeps reasserting the same policies and attitudes as if nothing had happened. The populists show they do not believe the analysis let alone the prescription of established institutions and governments, and seek to sweep them all away. Those parties and institutions which listen and change can survive. Those who continue to ignore the trends like the Greek socialist party, the two main French political parties and the Italian political establishment find themselves no longer wanted in the democratic politics of their countries. Can the main institutions of the western world adapt in time to the new mood?John Redwood is a leading commentator on world economies. The author of books on the Euro, Popular capitalism, the global marketplace and the credit crunch, he sets out in this exciting new analysis for Bite-Sized Books the impact of austerity economics and the banking crash on societies and governments around the world. He is a Distinguished fellow of All Souls College Oxford, a regular contributor to newspapers and the media, and a frequent lecturer on economic topics.He brings to this book the past experience of leading a couple of international manufacturing businesses and his work as a financial innovator. He was an early advocate and expert on privatisation and third way financing of public services, and set up an investment business to pioneer dynamic passive investing. He has been a Professor at Middlesex University Business School. He attempts in the book to look at the role of experts, who are themselves often on the wrong end of populist criticism. He concludes with the establishment that expertise is a good thing when genuine and well used, but agrees with the populists that some consensus expertise on economics in recent years has peddled dangerous doctrines and false forecasts to the detriment of our well being.He sees the populist revolt extending further, unless the establishments adjust their scripts and seek to understand better the forces they have unwittingly unleashed. Why didn't they foresee the banking crash? How could they not understand the rise of Mr Trump? Why were they taken aback by the hostility to austerity economics? He himself predicted the economic damage done by the European Exchange rate mechanism and forecast the market meltdown from the banking crash. In short this new book provocatively and soberly creates a challenging new perspective on recent global political developments - and will inform the continuing arguments for years to come.
Download or read book Brexitland written by Maria Sobolewska and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-term social and demographic changes - and the conflicts they create - continue to transform British politics. In this accessible and authoritative book Sobolewska and Ford show how deep the roots of this polarisation and volatility run, drawing out decades of educational expansion and rising ethnic diversity as key drivers in the emergence of new divides within the British electorate over immigration, identity and diversity. They argue that choices made by political parties from the New Labour era onwards have mobilised these divisions into politics, first through conflicts over immigration, then through conflicts over the European Union, culminating in the 2016 EU referendum. Providing a comprehensive and far-reaching view of a country in turmoil, Brexitland explains how and why this happened, for students, researchers, and anyone who wants to better understand the remarkable political times in which we live.
Download or read book Hendrik Petrus Berlage written by Hendrik Petrus Berlage and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hendrik Petrus Berlage, the Dutch architect and architectural philosopher, created a series of buildings and a body of writings from 1886 to 1909 that were among the first efforts to probe the problems and possibilities of modernism. Although his Amsterdam Stock Exchange, with its rational mastery of materials and space, has long been celebrated for its seminal influence on the architecture of the 20th century, Berlage's writings are highlighted here. Bringing together Berlage's most important texts, among them "Thoughts on Style in Architecture", "Architecture's Place in Modern Aesthetics", and "Art and Society", this volume presents a chapter in the history of European modernism. In his introduction, Iain Boyd Whyte demonstrates that the substantial contribution of Berlage's designs to modern architecture cannot be fully appreciated without an understanding of the aesthetic principles first laid out in his writings.
