In recent years the history of political science has become recognised as an important but neglected area of study. The Development of Political Science is the first comprehensive discussion of the subject in a comparative international perspective. Offering a wide-ranging account of the development of the subject and its dissemination across national borders and cultural divides, the book begins with a study of the historiography of the discipline in the United States, a country which has been at the forefront of the field. Widening its discussion to emphasise Western Europe as a focus for comparison, the contributors provide studies of further areas of interest such as China and Africa. This particular approach emphasises the book's vision of political science as a growing transnational body of knowledge. In presenting critical analysis of the state of the field, this vigorous study aims to further the development of the discipline in the countries discussed, and to provide a work that is interesting not only to political scientists, but to all those concerned with the development of the social sciences.

This book explores key contemporary issues of democracy in our globalized and highly technologized world. Written from an interdisciplinary perspective, with contributions including the fields of philosophy, political science, media studies, linguistics, and aesthetics, it reflects on the characteristics of the democratic state and democratic social practices. The book features contributions on topics such as the status of political parties, the separation of powers and the rule of law, bureaucracy and meritocracy, equality, forms of democratic participation and governance, comparisons between historical and contemporary democratic practices, individual rights, propaganda, political engagement, and consent. Further, it discusses how global information flows and new technologies affect democratic processes, including topics such as cyber-activism and open-source software as a means of empowerment to ethnocentric and class-centric technological design, globalization and media neutrality, and the mechanization of public administration. Overall, the book demonstrates how historical, philosophical, technical, and institutional issues relate to contemporary democracy. It will appeal to political theorists, social scientists and everybody interested in contemporary democracy.

La economía política de la urbanización asume que las condiciones generales de la producción constituyen el determinante histórico fundamental de la concentración espacial del capital. En este libro, primero de una trilogía sobre el tema, se extiende esa categoría proponiendo la existencia del binomio condiciones y servicios generales de la producción, como un concepto más adecuado para comprender las aglomeraciones metropolitanas contemporáneas. En la primera parte de la obra se analiza la evolución de dicha categoría dentro de la teoría del capital, su desarrollo histórico mundial como andamiaje infraestructural, así como su definición, tipología y características. En la segunda parte se inicia un estudio empírico sobre el vínculo de la infraestructura con la competitividad urbana y, principalmente, la cuestión de su financiamiento en el caso de la Ciudad de México.
