Kausale Mechanismen und Process Tracing stehen im Zentrum der Methodendiskussion in der Politikwissenschaft. Die beiden Begriffe werden jedoch häufig nur als Schlagworte verwendet. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie Politikforschung mittels Process Tracing systematisch angelegt und wie politische Prozesse mittels kausaler Mechanismen im Detail besser verstanden und erklärt werden können. Es beleuchtet Geschichte und theoretische Grundlagen des Konzepts der kausalen Mechanismen und stellt eine Weiterentwicklung zu einer Theorie kausaler Mechanismen vor. Darüber hinaus wird erläutert, wie in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Literatur bereits identifizierte Mechanismen zur Erklärung politischer Entwicklungen genutzt werden können. Ein Leitfaden zur Vorgehensweise mittels Process Tracing bietet abschließend eine Hilfe zur eigenständigen Analyse politischer Prozesse durch Forscher_innen und Studierende. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/

" This collection of short essays on texts in the history of democracy shows the diversity of ideas that contributed to the making of our present democratic moment. The selection of texts goes beyond the standard, Western-centric canonical history of democracy, with its beginnings in Ancient Athens and its climax in the French and American revolutions, recovering some of the significant body of democratic and anti-democratic thought in Latin America, Asia, and elsewhere. It includes discussions of well-known philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, but also of a variety of thinkers much less well known in English as writers on democracy: Al Farabi, Bolívar, Gandhi, Radishchev, Lenin, Sun Yat-sen, and many others. The essays thus de-center our understanding of the moments where the idea of democracy was articulated, rejected, and appropriated. Spanning antiquity to the present and global in scope, with contributions by key scholars of democracy from around the world, Democratic Moments is the ideal text for all students wishing to expand their understanding of the ways in which this contested concept has been understood.

"Best known as the author of The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt (1818-97) is one of the most important figures in the development of European historiography. His critique of modernity and his emphasis on the importance of cultural history have helped to shape intellectual history in Europe, as have his analyses of political power, particularly those concerning totalitarianism. In this work, the first book-length study in English of Burckhardt's political and social thought, Richard Sigurdson explores the major themes in Burckhardt's political writings: the relationship between the individual and mass society, the tensions between equality and excellence, the quality and nature of culture in a mass age, and the role of the intellectual in the modern world."--Jacket.

"Over the past few decades, the complicated divides of geography, class, religion, and race created deep fractures in the United States, each side fighting to advance its own mythology and political interests. We lack a central story, a common ground we can celebrate and enrich with deeper meaning. Unable to agree on first principles, we cannot agree on what it means to be American. As we dismantle or disregard symbols and themes that previously united us, can we replace them with stories and rites that unite our tribes and maintain meaning in our American identity? Against this backdrop, Our American Story features leading thinkers from across the political spectrum--Jim Banks, David W. Blight, Spencer P. Boyer, Eleanor Clift, John C. Danforth, Cody Delistraty, Richard A. Epstein, Nikolas Gvosdev, Cherie Harder, Jason Kuznicki, Gerard N. Magliocca, Markos Moulitsas, Ilya Somin, Cass R. Sunstein, Alan Taylor, James V. Wertsch, Gordon S. Wood, and Ali Wyne. Each draws on expertise within their respective fields of history, law, politics, and public policy to contribute a unique perspective about the American story. This collection explores whether a unifying story can be achieved and, if so, what that story could be"--

This volume represents the third publication in the series devoted to the theme "Figures in space, politics and society", promoted by a specific interdisciplinary study group, and is the result of the study day held in Florence in December 2003. The objective here is to set up comparisons with the suggestions thrown up by historical and literary evidence pertinent to the numerous modes of imagining space with reference to the political and social spheres. A series of extracts from sources collateral to the classical political panorama highlights the fertility of the line of research and the efficacy of the interdisciplinary approach adopted. Questo quaderno su Gli spazi immaginati, che fa seguito ai due intitolati "La politica e gli spazi politici" e "Metafore dello spazio", fa parte della serie dedicata ad illustrare i risultati di un gruppo di studio interdisciplinare, promosso da Lea Campos Boralevi, Vittore Collina e Bruna Consarelli, docenti di Storia delle Dottrine Politiche, sul tema Figure dello spazio, politica e società, che mira ad indagare le problematiche politiche e sociali dell'età moderna e contemporanea, dal punto di vista degli spazi e della loro produzione.
