Conclusions.The collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe has encouraged political scientists to re-examine the comparative literature on democratisation. A vast literature has now been produced comparing transitions from authoritarianism and democratisation in different parts of the world. However, there are two major omissions in the transition literature. First, the focus of research has primarily been on national level politics, and second, the relationship between federalism and democracy has largely been overlooked. This study seeks to redress this imbalance by moving the focus of research from the national level to the vitally important processes of institution building and democratisation at the local level and to the study of federalism and democratisation in Russia. Federal states are much more difficult to set up than unitary ones, and forging a new federal system at the same time as privatising the economy and trying to radically overhaul the political system has clearly made Russia's transition triply difficult. This book builds on Cameron Ross' earlier work, 'Regional Politics in Russia', by combining theoretical perspectives with empirical work to provide a comparative analysis of the electoral systems, party systems and governmental systems in the ethnic republics and regions and to assess the impact of theses different institutional arrangements on democratisation and federalism. Overall, this study argues that Russia's weak and asymmetrical form of federalism has played a major role in thwarting the consolidation of democracy. Federalism and democratisation in Russia exist in contradiction rather than harmony. In a vicious circle authoritarianism at the centre has been nourished by authoritarianism in the regions and vice versa. 'Elective dictatorships' and 'delegative democracies' are now well entrenched in many republics and authoritarian regimes are firmly established in a majority of the regions. This book will be vital reading for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of Russian politics and democratisation.DemocratizationRussia.comparative analysis.democratisation.electoral systems.ethnic republics.federalism.governmental systems.institution building.institutional arrangements.party systems.Democratization.321.8Ross Cameron675433NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910297043903321Federalism and democratisation in Russia1802055UNINA03287nam 22006013u 450 991078691520332120230828235638.01-4411-1849-7(CKB)3710000000109390(EBL)1749728(SSID)ssj0000522335(PQKBManifestationID)12165895(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000522335(PQKBWorkID)10527444(PQKB)11410124(MiAaPQ)EBC1749728(EXLCZ)99371000000010939020141020d2006|||| u|| |engur|n|---|||||txtccrEnglish in the World[electronic resource] Global Rules, Global RolesLondon Bloomsbury Publishing20061 online resource (225 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-8264-8905-2 Contents; About the Contributors; Introduction; Part I: Conceptualizing EIL; An Interview with Tom McArthur; Global Intelligibility and Local Diversity: Possibility or Paradox?; English as a Lingua Franca in the Expanding Circle: What it Isn''t; Defining the ''Successful Bilingual Speaker'' of English; Which Model of English: Native-speaker, Nativized or Lingua Franca?; World Englishes or English as a Lingua Franca?

Anatomy of a Crisis -- 2. Life Begins At Forty -- 3. Scenes from a Marriage -- 4. Biological Clocks -- 5. Families Under Stress -- 6. In Search of a Soul -- Postscript.The midlife crisis has become a cliché in modern society. Since the mid-twentieth century, the term has been used to explain infidelity in middle-aged men, disillusionment with personal achievements, the pain and sadness associated with separation and divorce, and the fear of approaching death. This book provides a meticulously researched account of the social and cultural conditions in which middle-aged men and women began to reevaluate their hopes and dreams, reassess their relationships, and seek new forms of identity and fresh pathways to self-satisfaction. Drawing on a rich seam of literary, medical, media, and cinematic sources, as well as personal accounts, Broken Dreams explores how the crises of middle-aged men and women were shaped by increased life expectancy, changing family structures, shifting patterns of work, and the rise of individualism.Midlife crisisMidlife crisis.155.66Jackson Mark914205MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815211903321Broken dreams4003694UNINA01246nam0 22002773i 450 VAN013289520210330122737.574978-88-948691-7-020210330d2017 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||Dizionario elementare dell'architettura complessaun corredo alfabetico per chi opera nei paesaggi del contemporaneoMaria GelviFirenzeAltralinea2017223 p.ill.21 x 21 cm.001VAN01262682001 Architettura e utopiacollana diretta da Cherubino Gambardella210 FirenzeAltralinea.06ArchitetturaDizionariVANC036043ARFirenzeVANL000014GelviMariaVANV106731791812Altralinea <editore>VANV115111650ITSOL20240621RICABIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI ARCHITETTURA E DISEGNO INDUSTRIALEIT-CE0107VAN01VAN0132895BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI ARCHITETTURA E DISEGNO INDUSTRIALE01CONS T-ESAME33 01BDA1723 20210330 Dizionario elementare dell'architettura complessa1770430UNICAMPANIA
