Comparative Politics: An Introduction
No full textBook DescriptionA modern, up-to-date and extremely well written new introductory text, written by an experienced author and specialist in the field. The approach hangs around the three main themes of liberalization, globalization and democratization. From the Back Cover"Politics is not just a game. It is the ultimate game" Comparative Politics takes a truly international approach to the study of different political systems. Using a clear analytical framework and focusing on three key concepts: democratisation, liberalisation and globalisation, Comparative Politics explains how governments and political establishments gain, exercise and maintain power. Case studies and examples of different types of government from around the world vividly illustrate the text. Not only liberal democracies, but authoritarian and military systems are considered, and the impact of new social movements, and their opposition to the centralisation of power is also explored. Key features: * Global perspective * Clear and distinctive analytical framework * Three themes: democratisation, liberalisation and globalisation * 12 case studies to illustrate key aspects * Brief analyses of 22 leading countries * Sample examination questions * Broad bibliography and suggestions for further reading *Supporting webside material - see p.vii Peter Calvert has been Professor of Comparative and International Politics at the University of Southampton since 1984.

From Pedrolino to a Pierrot: The Origin, Ancestry and Ambivalence of the British Pierrot Troupe
No full textIn this article, the author considers the British development of the seaside Pierrot troupe, arguing that its construction is consistent with the notion of invented tradition, and the associated concerns with identity and nationality. Tracing the history of the character from its origins as Pedrolino in the commedia dell’arte, the article considers the traditional and novel elements of the British form. This also allows a brief account of the origin and aesthetics of the British tradition. Reflecting on the synthesis of the archaic and contemporary dimensions of the form, the author proposes that the new structure constructed an ambivalent class of character. The composition of both troupes and audiences was drawn from across the range of social strata. Through its collectivity and its treatment of contemporary social themes, it is argued the British Pierrot troupe approached and negotiated questions of a cultural and national identity in the late-Victorian period.

Eliza Calvert Hall: Kentucky Author and Suffragist
No full textIn 1907, the author, poet, essayist, and folk art historian Eliza Calvert Hall (1856–1935) published Aunt Jane of Kentucky, a collection of stories about rural life infused with the spirit and gentle good humor of its elderly narrator, Aunt Jane. The book and several sequels achieved wide popularity and placed Hall in the front ranks of “local color” fiction writers of her time. As Hall struggled to balance her writing career with the duties of a nineteenth-century wife and mother, suffragist Laura Clay was lobbying for every woman’s right to vote. Hall joined the battle, writing fearlessly in support of suffrage and equality. While her passionate essays served as a direct appeal for this cause, her creative writing also carried a feminist spirit, celebrating the strength, humor, love, and art of the common woman. In Eliza Calvert Hall, Lynn E. Niedermeier tells the story of this remarkable Kentucky woman for the first time.
Supplies a valuable history of the women\u27s rights movement in Kentucky, and also introduces the reader to an overlooked author of compassionate and witty fiction. -- Bonnie Jean Cox, former director of the University of Kentucky\u27s Women and Gender Studies programhttps://digitalcommons.wku.edu/dlsc_books/1000/thumbnail.jp
Revolution and counter revolution
No full textRevolution remains a key concept in the social sciences. After the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution, a debate still rages over its causes and meaning. At the same time as, in Eastern Europe, much of what the Russian Revolution was believed to have stood for is being rejected, the Chinese leadership has reaffirmed its right to maintain "revolutionary" political orthodoxy by force. In this book Professor Calvert aims to show how revolution must by its nature be disputed. When people observe revolutions, their interpretations of what they are seeing are conditioned by changing intellectual fashion and by wishful thinking and so too are the theories derived from them. This book re-examines the place of revolution in modern social theory and at the same time reasserts the need for systematic study in the social sciences
