Description for The Politics of Problem-Solving in Postwar Democracies
hardcover. Focusing on how, by means of "politics", conflict is modified and turned into consensus by means of policy-making, this book concentrates on Continental European democracies with their multi-party systems. The theory concentrates on the working of institutions under adversarial conditions. Editor(s): Keman, Hans. Num Pages: 229 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1D; JPHV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 23. Weight in Grams: 445.
The Politics of Problem-solving in Postwar Democracies focuses explicitly on the way in which and the extent to which public policy formation in multi-party systems can be both effective and legitimate; effective in finding solutions for societal problems which are beyond the citizens capacity; and legitimate in formulating policies that are acceptable to most involved. Cross-national variations in the way political institutions work and can be conducive to political consensus and cooperative behaviour are - so it is argued and evidenced throughout the book - the key factors for successful policy-making and related problem-solving.
