Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A bold reinterpretation of Tocqueville - and of how democracies actually endure. For two centuries, political thought has been captivated by rupture. From the great revolutions to the founding constitutions, we have learned to locate the meaning of history in a handful of decisive, dramatic moments. Republican Foundations of Liberal Democracy sets out to overturn that habit of mind. In this ambitious work of political theory, Renato Almeida de Moraes recovers and radicalizes Alexis de Tocqueville's inaugural insight: that democratic government depends on the prior existence of a republican structure that precedes it both logically and historically. Before the nation, there were the townships of New England; before the federal Constitution, the settled customs of self-government; before the abstract citizen of contract theory, the flesh-and-blood inhabitant, accustomed for generations to deliberating on the common affairs of his community. American liberty, the author shows, was decreed by no legislator - it was inherited, exercised, and practiced long before it was ever theorized. To explain how such structures survive across generations, the book introduces an original theoretical concept: temporal plurality. Setting Tocqueville in dialogue with Norbert Elias's sociology of time, and taking on the major paradigms of historical sociology and intellectual history - Theda Skocpol on revolution, Quentin Skinner on liberty as non-domination, J. G. A. Pocock on the Machiavellian moment - Moraes argues that societies do not inhabit a single, homogeneous time but a multiplicity of interwoven temporalities, each with its own rhythm. It is in the tense coexistence of these times that liberty is preserved or lost. The result is a work at once rigorous and elegant, polemical and generous toward its adversaries - a study for everyone who suspects that the deepest questions about democracy are, in the end, questions about time. Ideal for readers of political theory, intellectual history, and the history of democratic thought. Back Cover Copy This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What separates a researcher who applies a method from one who understands it? This book teaches both. Most methodology textbooks hand you a set of rules. The Discipline of Inference does something rarer: it teaches you the rules clearly enough for a beginner to follow them, and then shows you the live controversies underneath each one-so that, before a committee, a referee, or your own conscience, you can defend not just what you chose but why you chose it where the methods disagree. Built on two interlocking layers, every one of its forty-five chapters opens with a clear, pedagogical exposition and then descends into the debates, limits, and unresolved disputes that the exposition leaves out. You learn process tracing, causal-process observations, case selection, equifinality, falsifiability, and the integration of qualitative and quantitative methods-and then you learn why each of these tools rests on contestable assumptions that no manual can settle for you. Among the questions the book confronts head-on: Do qualitative and quantitative research truly share a single logic of inference-or does that very thesis smuggle in the statistical template as a universal norm? How can a single, well-chosen case refute a theory that a thousand observations could not? When statistics finds an association but process tracing finds no mechanism, which evidence wins? Why is knowing when not to conclude the highest discipline of inference, not its failure? Accessible enough for a graduate student approaching research design for the first time, and demanding enough for the experienced scholar who wants the field's deepest fractures laid bare, this is a methodology book that refuses the false comfort of a finished system. It offers instead something more durable: not a set of rules, but a map of problems. For students and scholars of political science, sociology, public policy, law, and the social sciences who want to do rigorous research-and to know exactly what they are doing while they do it.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - BEFORE THE PROCEDURE: The Moral Sources of Action and the Critique of Discourse EthicsWhat makes a person act against injustice Is political action ultimately driven by rational argument, social interests, inherited values-or by something that precedes them all Before the Procedure offers a critical reconstruction of one of the central debates in contemporary political theory. Beginning with Jürgen Habermas's theory of communicative action and discourse ethics, Renato Almeida de Moraes examines a fundamental difficulty in procedural accounts of democracy: a procedure may explain how norms can be justified, but can it explain what motivates subjects to act, resist, and struggle for recognition In dialogue with Habermas, Charles Taylor, Axel Honneth, George Herbert Mead, John Dewey, Pierre Bourdieu, and major traditions of Brazilian social thought, the book develops an alternative account of political agency. Its central distinction is between procedural morality-concerned with the justification of valid norms-and procedural ethics, understood as the process through which individuals form moral judgments and constitute their practical identities. At the heart of the argument lies a provocative thesis: the deepest source of transformative political action is neither rational calculation nor the mechanical effect of social structure. It is the moral experience of disrespect-the experience through which subjects perceive an injury, interpret it as unjust, and acquire a language capable of transforming suffering into resistance and resistance into collective struggle. The argument moves from Habermas's communicative rationality to the liberal-communitarian controversy, from theories of Brazilian inequality to Honneth's theory of recognition. Throughout, the book asks how political theory can explain domination without reducing those subjected to it to passive products of structure, and how democracy can preserve the subjective freedom from which criticism and emancipation become possible. Before the Procedure ultimately proposes a theory of political action that restores the first-person perspective of the actor-the subject who evaluates, experiences disrespect, refuses what has been assigned to them, and acts. Before justification comes moral experience; before the procedure stands the subject capable of demanding that the world be otherwise.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Every state now competes for chips, artificial intelligence, biotechnology and energy - under the same physics, the same capital markets, the same supply chains, and with machines that could not be more different from one another.>Why does the same subsidy build a champion in Seoul and a museum in Brasília Who May Compete answers that the difference is not the instrument, not the dose of intervention, and not the ideology of the government. It is the architecture of authority: who chooses the bet, who pays for it, what the recipient owes in return, who measures the result, and who holds the power to switch it off. Where those five functions keep public power contestable, support becomes a contract, error becomes information, and money becomes capacity. Where they do not, the same money buys the perpetuation of the past in the vocabulary of the future - sincerely, under a national flag, with everyone's consent and no one's knowledge. The book builds that criterion from four centuries of institutional history and from the causal evidence of the last two decades, each entry declaring the research design behind it. It then turns the criterion on a single country. Brazil assembled, across a full century, the most complete rent machine with a competitive façade in the hemisphere - eight decisive margins, eight reversed signs - and, inside the same borders and under the same law, three islands of world-class excellence that refute every cultural explanation of its failure. The problem was never the capacity to do. It was the architecture that decides what gets done. What the reader takes away is a protocol of five questions, short enough to carry, that can be put to any competitiveness policy on the afternoon it reaches the floor: Who chose this bet Who pays, and knows that they pay What does the recipient owe, and until when Who measures - and with what consequence Who can switch it off The book also states what it has not established. Its predictions are dated and public, its scope is declared, and the studies that would refute it are specified rather than promised. A criterion that cannot fail is not a criterion. Written for political scientists, economists, policymakers, journalists and citizens who suspect that the long argument about the size of the state has consumed the decades that the question about its anatomy would have decided.…
