Making Democracy Work: Civic Traditions in Modern Italy (Taschenbuch) von Robert D. Putnam, Robert Leonardi, Raffaella Y. Nanetti   Synopsis: Why do some democratic governments succeed and others fail? In a book that has received attention from policymakers and civic activists in America and around the world, Robert Putnam and his collaborators offer empirical evidence for the importance of "civic community" in developing successful institutions. Their focus is on a unique experiment begun in 1970 when Italy created new governments for each of its regions. After spending two decades analyzing the efficacy of these governments in such fields as agriculture, housing, and health services, they reveal patterns of associationism, trust, and co-operation that facilitate good governance and economic prosperity. Winner of the 1992 Louis Brownlow Book Award of the National Academy of Public Administration. a.areaLink, a.areaLink:visited { text-decoration: none; color: black; display: block; } .areaLink .innerLink { white-space: nowrap; text-decoration: underline; color: #039; } .crBlueBorder-tl { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-tl.jpg) no-repeat top left; width: 1em; } .crBlueBorder-tc { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-tc.jpg) repeat-x top; height: 1px; } .crBlueBorder-tr { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-tr.jpg) no-repeat top right; width: 1em; } .crBlueBorder-bl { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-bl.jpg) no-repeat bottom left; width: 1em; } .crBlueBorder-bc { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-bc.jpg) repeat-x bottom; height: 1px; } .crBlueBorder-br { background: url( http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/G/03/x-locale/communities/reviews/border-box-br.jpg) no-repeat bottom right; height: 1em; } Rezensionen ansehen...   Angebote zu  Making ,  Democracy ,  Work  ab 1 Euro!
