This book describes the results of a quantitative investigation into one of the central questions of political science: what determines how long governments survive in parliamentary democracies? Government survival is important because it constitutes an essential component of the overall functioning of parliamentary democracies; it is also closely associated with the introduction to the discipline of event history analysis, a highly promising statistical methodology. The investigation utilizes this methodology on what is undoubtedly the most comprehensive data set yet assembled on governments, comprising hundreds of variables measured for governments in sixteen West European parliamentary democracies over the entire post-war period to 1989. The results fundamentally challenge the central thread of theorizing on government survival and point to an alternative conceptualization of the relationship among governments, parties and voters.

The study of politics has been profoundly influenced in the post-war era by the introduction of concepts and explanations that highlight the role of culturally determined norms and values in shaping the political process.This study examines three main perspectives from which the social sciences are discussed, and compares the divergent theories by which social, economic, and political phenomena may be explained. Rational-choice theory is contrasted with the structuralist and the culturalist perspectives. The controversy is then given substance through the introduction of three issues central

Wereldburgers, jong en oud, worden dagelijks geconfronteerd met conflicten, armoede, schendingen van de mensenrechten en ecologische duurzaamheid. Dit (Engelstalige) boek gaat over iets waarmee educatieve instellingen en programma's wereldwijd geconfronteerd worden: hoe begrijpen en ervaren jonge mensen mondialisering en hoe kan betekenisvol mondiaal leren ontwikkeld worden. Het boek beschrijft mondialisering, wereldburgerschap en mondiaal leren. Het verkent kernthema's zoals onderlinge verbondenheid en afhankelijkheid, culturele diversiteit, sociale rechtvaardigheid (o.a. mensenrechten) en duurzame ontwikkeling. De auteurs zijn ervan overtuigd dat mondiaal leren kan en moet doordringen in alle vormen van leren; binnen de schoolvakken, door projectmatig leren en in buitenschoolse activiteiten die leerlingen helpen om te participeren en zich te verdiepen in mondiale thema's. Ze benadrukken het belang van de missie en ethos van de school zelf, van het aanpassen van mondiaal leren aan verschillende educatieve contexten, en van lesgeven en leren op maat van het individu. 'Global meaning and education' is een uitgebreid, diepgaand, soms controversieel boek voor lesgevers die geïnteresseerd zijn in de betekenis van mondialisering voor jonge mensen. Het bevat case studies om de creativiteit en de hoop van de lezer te stimuleren, vragen en verdere leessuggesties.
