Using miracle tales,votive plaques,diaries,and newspapers,Sarah Thal traces such changes at one of the most popular Japanese pilgrimage sites of the nineteenth and twen

Institutions and the Politics of Survival in Jordan:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lucas, Russell E., PUBLISHER: State University of New York Press, Weaving together accounts of historical developments, cultural elements, economic factors, and regional and international dynamics, Russell E. Lucas explores how the monarchy in Jordan survived economic crisis and regional political instability during the s. Lucas analyzes the factors behind the successful liberalization and deliberalizations of laws regulating political parties, the parliament, and the press that helped preserve the monarchy. These institutional survival strategies co-opted the opposition, kept it divided, and reinforced the unity of the regime's coalition of supporters. The author also compares survival strategies in Jordan with those of Morocco. Kuwait, Iran, and Egypt to explain the surprising durability of authoritarian regimes in the Middle East.

Chinese Politics in the Era of Xi Jinping

Chinese Politics in the Era of Xi Jinping: Renowned for his coverage of China&apos s elite politics and leadership transitions, veteran Sinologist Willy Lam has produced the first book-length study in English of the rise of Xi Jinping--General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since November . With rare insight, Lam describes Xi&apos s personal history and his fascination with quasi-Maoist values, the factional politics through which he ascended, the configuration of power of the Fifth-Generation leadership, and the country&apos s likely future directions under the charismatic " princeling." Despite an undistinguished career as a provincial administrator, Xi has rapidly amassed more power than his predecessors. He has overawed his rivals and shaken up the party-state hierarchy by launching large-scale anti-corruption and rectification campaigns. With a strong power base in the People&apos s Liberation Army and a vision of China as an " awakening lion," Xi has been flexing China&apos s military muscle in sovereignty rows with countries including Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines while trying to undermine the influence of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. While Xi is still fine-tuning his art of governance, his zero tolerance for dissent and his preoccupation with upholding the privileges of the " red aristocracy" and the CCP&apos s status as " perennial ruling party" do not bode well for economic, political, or cultural reforms. Lam takes a close look at Xi&apos s ideological and political profile and considers how his conservative outlook might shape what the new strongman calls " the Great Renaissance of the Chinese race."

The Politics of Policies: Economic and Social Progress in

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Inter-American Development Bank, Development Bank / Int-Amer Dev Bank, Dev Bank / Inter-American Development Bank, PUBLISHER: David Rockefeller Center for Latin American S, This volume appears after more than a decade of political and economic reforms in Latin America. The success of these reforms--and the quality of public policies--has varied widely. As a result, it has become clear that good policy "recipes" are not enough. Specific policy recipes, no matter how well conceived, are necessary but not sufficient for success. Only by improving the policymaking process can we expect sustainable improvements in public policies and in their impact on development and people's lives. This study analyzes how the workings of the policymaking process affect the quality of policy outcomes. It looks beyond a purely technocratic approach to policymaking, delving into the messy world of politics. It argues that the political process and the policymaking process are inseparable, and that failing to understand one risks failure with the other. It offers a wide variety of examples and case studies, using an analytical framework that can help explain why policies that work in certain institutional environments may not work in others. The study also yields useful insights for the design of effective policy reform.
