Essay aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Systeme - Politisches System Deutschlands, Note: 2.0, Technische Universitat Dresden (Institut fur Politikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Seminar: Politik Praktisch, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Ruckblick der Wahlen des sogenannten Superwahljahrs" 2009 ist es angebracht eine kritische Auswertung der Ergebnisse vorzunehmen und entsprechende Schlussfolgerungen zu ziehen. Der allgemein bekannte Trend, dass die Wahlbeteiligung in der Bundesrepublik stetig auf allen Ebenen sinkt, wurde in der Offentlichkeit breit und kontrovers diskutiert. Hinsichtlich der Ursachen bewegte man sich dabei allerdings in der Diskussion auf einer zwar nicht unbedeutenden aber eher oberflachlich argumentierenden Erklarungsebene. Ein unspannender Bundestagswahlkampf," wenig schillernde Kandidaten" oder allgemeines politisches Desinteresse der Burger" waren die ublichen Erklarungsmuster. Dagegen muss man aber auch feststellen, dass dieser Wahlkampf erstens wie nie zuvor gepragt war von umfangreichen medialen Kampagnen, deren Initiative nicht nur von der Politik ausgingen, sondern auch von Prominenten und gesellschaftlichen Gruppen, zweitens von den neuen Internetplattformen mitsamt den Moglichkeiten der politischen Information und Entscheidungshilfe wie dem Wahl-o-mat." Dies zeigt, dass die Ursachen des angespannten Verhaltnisses zwischen Politik und Bevolkerung tiefer liegen. Studien zeigen, dass vor allem die Leistung von Parteien und Politiker in der Kritik steht wo hingegen es eine generelle Akzeptanz politischer Institutionen in der Bevolkerung zu erkennen ist. Zudem werden Wahlen schon lange nicht mehr als einzige Partizipationsmoglichkeit gesehen. Parteien sollten sich nicht auf das Ziel versteifen, Massnahmen zu suchen, mit denen nur direkt die Wahlbeteiligung gesteigert werden konnte, sondern es ist notwendig die Bandbreite der Partizipationsformen auch im Hinblick der sich wandelnden Bedingungen fur Demokratie zu betrach

Ottmar Ette’s TransArea proceeds from the thesis that globalization is not a recent phenomenon, but rather, a process of long duration that may be divided into four main phases of accelerated globalization. These phases connect our present, across the world’s widely divergent modern eras, to the period of early modern history. Ette demonstrates how the literatures of the world make possible a tangible perception of that which constitutes Life, both of our planet and on our planet, which may only be understood through the application of multiple logics. There is no substitute for the knowledge of literature: it is the knowledge of life, from life. This English translation will be of great interest to English-speaking scholars in the fields of Global and Area Studies, Literary Studies, Cultural Studies, History, Political Science, and many more. About the author Ottmar Ette has been Chair of Romance Literature at the University of Potsdam, Germany, since 1995. He is Honorary Member of the Modern Language Association of America (MLA) (elected in 2014), member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (elected in 2013), and regular member of the Academia Europaea (since 2010).

Combining close readings of pamphlets by Robert Greene, Thomas Nashe, Thomas Deloney and others with a discussion of the history and deployment of print technology, The Marketplace of Print is both a work of historical recovery and a reflection on the ongoing relationship between the marketplace and the public sphere.

Representation is more than a matter of elections and parties. This book offers a radical new perspective on the subject. Representation, it argues, is all around us, a dynamic practise across societies rather than simply a fixed feature of government. At the heart of the argument is the straightforward but versatile notion of the representative claim. People claim to speak or stand for others in multiple, shifting, and surprising patterns. At the same time they offer images of their constituents and audiences as artists paint portraits. Who can speak for and about us in this volatile world of representations? Which representative claims can have democratic legitimacy? The Representative Claim is set to transform our core assumptions about what representation is and can be. At a time when political representation is widely believed to be in crisis, the book provides a timely and critical corrective to conventional wisdom on the present and potential future of representative democracy.

In an in-depth comparative analysis, Stefano Bartolini studies the history of socialism and working-class politics in Western Europe. While examining the social contexts, organizational structures, and political developments of thirteen socialist experiences from the 1860s to the 1980s, he reconstructs the steps through which social conflict was translated and structured into an opposition, as well as how it developed its different organizational and ideological forms, and how it managed more or less successfully to mobilize its reference groups politically.
