In this book, a group of leading scholars analyzes the functioning of mode democracies by focusing on two basic principles: political representation and policy congruence. Drawing on recent survey data from a variety of national and inteational research projects, they demonstrate how political representation works and mostly leads to a fair degree of policy congruence between citizens and their representatives. They also present new insights on the sources of satisfaction with democracy and the impact of the economy on elections and political trust.

This book is published on the occasion of the retirement of Jacques Thomassen as distinguished professor of political science at the University of Twente. The contributors include Russell Dalton, Hans?Dieter Klingemann, Pippa Norris, Ola Listhaug, Hanne Marthe Narud, Jan van Deth, Peter Mair, Cees van der Eijk, Hermann Schmitt, S?ren Holmberg and Rudy Andeweg.

Martin Rosema, Bas Denters and Kees Aarts are affiliated with the Centre for the Study of Democracy (CSD) and the Institute for Innovation and Goveance Studies (IGS) at the University of Twente.

Политическая лингвистика. 2007. № 21. С. 123-142. The present paper deals with May Day slogans in Soviet Russia (1918-1943). The authors of the article prove that slogans are a sort of manual which helps the public to interpret the policy of the Communist party. Being authoritative, sated with key political symbols and widely spread, slogans turn out to be one of the important means of modern political communication. The article argues that chan...

JCMS 2006 Volume 44. Number 3. pp. 533–62 Giandomenico Majone and Andrew Moravcsik have argued that the EU does not suffer a ‘democratic deficit’. We disagree about one key element: whether a democratic polity requires contestation for political leadership and over policy. This aspect is an essential element of even the ‘thinnest’ theories of democracy, yet is conspicuously absent in the EU.

It can be argued that the political psychology approach of Harold D. Lasswell has either been forgotten, devalued, or assumed to have been supplanted by his policy science approach by the current social sciences, especially by political psychologists. This does violence to the social sciences in general insofar as its exclusion from the canon of theoretical paradigms robs the social sciences of a useful and efficacious tool to explain much politi...

Citizens living in presidential or parliamentary systems face different political choices as do voters casting votes in elections governed by rules of proportional representation or plurality. Political commentators seem to know how such rules influence political behavior. They firmly believe, for example, that candidates running in plurality systems are better known and held more accountable to their constituencies than candidates competing in e...

Abstract Institutions are essentially broadly agreed norms, rules and routines. They might have arisen out of social conflicts with strong influence of power relations, but they also face the demands of democracy. While studying NGOs as political institutions, particularly in the context of a number of developing countries, this article argues that the political context of their action is determined by their relationship with the donors and socia...

The new chapters, which...
