Elections are episodic; governance is routine.This book studies patterns in public opinion on politics and society between elections in India. By using the survey data covering 24 Indian states including the National Capital Region of Delhi (NCR), it will serve as State barometers of public opinion.The surveys seek to understand how politics and governance processes are nested in the social and political relationships between citizens inter se and with government functionaries. The book explores citizen perceptions about the social and political universes they inhabit in periods between elections. It examines social attitudes of citizens, friendship ties across social groups, gender roles and relationships; opinions on governance, ease of public service access, the citizen-state interface, and trust in political institutions; and, political attitudes and identity, nationalism, freedom of expression, and populism. This book explores public perceptions of everyday development and governance outcomes that are shaped by how the government functions between elections: how it relates to citizens on a regular basis; how it provides routine public services to them; and how public order is maintained.An incisive study on public opinion on politics, society, and governance in India, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of political science, governance, public policy, and South Asian studies. It will also be of immense interest to bureaucrats, policymakers, think tanks, and organisations working in the areas of development studies, politics, society, and governance.Section 3.3 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Political Innovations: Creative Transformations in Polity, Politics and Policy provides a theoretical framework for studies of political innovation as well as a number of empirical studies of innovations in the way policy strategies take form, in the exercise of political leadership, in community self-organizing, in political parties, and what implications informal governance has on political innovation.Public innovation has risen to the top of the agenda among governments all over the Western world. The message is clear: the public sector needs to become more innovative in order to meet the demands of modern society. There is also a growing interest in public innovation amongst students of public policy and governance, who are currently working to define and conceptualize public innovation, analyze drivers of, and barriers to, innovation in the public sector, and prescribe ways to make the public sector more innovative. However, researchers have so far mainly theorized, studied and analyzed issues related to innovations in public services and public delivery. Few have payed attention to the fact that public service innovation takes place in a political context, and that innovations in polity, politics and policy are fundamental aspects of public innovation. A comprehensive research agenda on public innovation should therefore include studies of political innovation.This book will be of great value to scholars and researchers interested in Public Administration, Policy Making and Innovation, Public Governance and Political Leadership.It was originally published as a special issue of the Public Management Review.

The volume sheds light on the backsliding process of Turkish democratization from the early 2010's until 2018. In addition to historical contextualization, the book analyzes data collected through a nationally representative survey of Turkish voters during the 2018 elections and data available by the Supreme Election Board (YSK) in a pre-and post-election panel design.A more centralized administration of elections that are directly under the control of the central government brought reliability of election results as well as the free and fair nature of the elections in question. Mobilization efforts of the parties, as well as the varying degree of influence of the economy, appear to have simultaneously influential over the vote choices. Yet another factor of potency in shaping the vote choices was the longer-term effects of ideology, conservative values, and hence the party identification.Through the 2018 elections in Turkey, the book provides an excellent glimpse into the dynamics of Turkish politics, society and culture. Targeting students and scholars of Middle Eastern and North African politics, the book is a key resource for any readers interested in the political developments of Turkey, comparative politics, and voting behavior.

This volume attempts to examine the many possible causes of Brexit. The conceptual 'peg' on which the volume hangs is that, irrespective of one's views on whether Britain's exit from the EU was a good or a bad thing, Brexit can justifiably be seen as yet another example of a British policy fiasco. Put simply, the British political elite was not at its best.The collective concern of this volume is twofold. First, it advances possible explanations of how the Brexit issue arose. Why was Britain's membership of the EU thought to be so problematic for so many members of the British political elite and ultimately for a majority of voters? How did we get to June 2016 and the Brexit Referendum? Secondly, the volume examines how the issue was managed (or mismanaged) following the referendum result up until the Withdrawal Agreement in March 2019. The contributions to this volume explore these questions by looking at Brexit from different analytical angles. Some authors explore the long-term causes of Brexit, by disentangling the fraught relationship between the UK and the EU, which had provided the Brexit train with steam; others explore the highly conflictual domestic political dynamics in the run-up to the referendum and in the negotiations of a Brexit deal.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of European Public Policy.

Resisting the Right is a handbook for surviving a far-right take-over of the United States. Today, that prospect is a frightening reality. It threatens the irreversible destruction of America’s democratic system.In a powerful and necessary intervention, Robert Edwards urges that we prepare now for this nightmarish scenario, the better to resist and transcend it.Edwards shows how a right-wing autocracy can be combatted using political action, civil disobedience, economics, cyberspace, traditional media, social media, the arts, and even our personal relationships.A former US Army intelligence officer who now works as a successful screenwriter, Edwards draws on his military training to assess “the threat,” and his storyteller’s imagination to play out likely scenarios.At a time when the future of American democracy teeters on a cliff edge, the urgency of Resisting the Right could not be more acute.

Corruption is an insidious cancer that is secretly destroying our world! It robs people of their basic human rights, it steals money from the pockets of the poor, and it robs everyone of the peace of mind and security they need to enjoy life!Corruption manifests itself through the actions of crooked politicians. These corrupt politicians believe they are above the law and that they can do whatever benefits them, no matter who it hurts or how corrupt and unlawful their actions are. Many have gotten away with it for so long that they think that nothing will ever change.Let's start off by taking a look at a letter that reveals the real thoughts of a crooked politician. This letter is a hypothetical example of a completely honest letter addressed to the public: A Corrupt Politician's Honest LetterI am a corrupt politician. I have no interest in serving the public. I only care about myself and my own personal gain.I have taken advantage of the public in many ways. I have used my position to enrich myself and my friends. I have awarded contracts to companies that I have a financial interest in. I have accepted bribes from special interest groups every time it was offered.I have done all of this without any regard for the people I am supposed to represent. I have repeatedly lied to them, I have often cheated them, and I have betrayed their trust more times then I can keep track of.I know that what I have done is wrong. But I don't care! I am only interested in myself and my own selfish needs!If you are listening to this, I want you to know that I am not sorry. I am not going to change my ways. I am going to continue to smile in your face while I take advantage of you for as long as I can get away with it!So if you are thinking about voting for me, or if you are thinking about supporting me in any way, I want you to know that you are making a big mistake. I am not a good person. I am a corrupt politician, and I will only take advantage of you as I laugh at you behind your back!As the letter illustrates some politicians may pretend they are honest, moral, and working to benefit the public; but the reality is much darker then the phony smile they present to the public. The truth is that they will never stop being corrupt, and they will continue hurting society as long as the public remains blind to who they really are.The fight against corruption may be a long and difficult one, but it is essential for the future of our world. Corrupt politicians are something we do not have to just except, there actually are some things we can do to stimulate change. This is the book that tells the secrets of how to fight and win against corrupt politicians and political systems, and how to change the laws that actually promote corruption!

CDU und CSU inszenieren sich gerne als Parteien der Mitte. Was aber ist heute Mitte? Sind diese beiden Parteien noch Volksparteien und orientieren sie sich noch an christlichen Werten?

Müller untersucht die Diskrepanz zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit.Ein spannendes Buch für alle, die wissen wollen, was von diesen wichtigen deutschen Parteien in der Zeitenwende zu erwarten ist.
