Political Culture in Contemporary Britain - People and Politicians, Principles and Practice (Hardcover, New): William L.... Political Culture in Contemporary Britain - People and Politicians, Principles and Practice (Hardcover, New)
William L. Miller, Annis May Timpson, Michael Lessnoff
R2,565 Discovery Miles 25 650 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This is the most authoritative picture to date of what the British people and their politicians really think about the fundamentals of politics. Based on new and revealing survey data, it presents a wide-ranging analysis of British attitudes to civil, political, and social rights. The study uncovers two broad `macro-dimensions' of political principle - liberty and equality - which underlie a large number of more specific principles and shape people's responses to many practical issues. Controversially, it claims that commitments to liberty and equality tend to run together - only the least educated treat them as alternatives; left-wingers support both and right-wingers oppose both. It explores the influence of social background, personal experience, and the institutional setting on attitudes towards political principles, highlighting in particular age and the complex influences of education and religion. And it also shows how arguments and propganda combine with political principles and party loyalties to influence opinion on practical issues. The final chapter presents an overall model and quantifies the relative power of all these different influences. The book will be invaluable reading for all those interested in British politics, political sociology, civil liberties, and public opinion as well as those planning their own social science survey research.

First Nations, First Thoughts - The Impact of Indigenous Thought in Canada (Paperback): Annis May Timpson First Nations, First Thoughts - The Impact of Indigenous Thought in Canada (Paperback)
Annis May Timpson
R759 Discovery Miles 7 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Countless books and articles have traced the impact of colonialism and public policy on Canada’s First Nations, but few have explored the impact of Aboriginal thought on public discourse and policy development in Canada. First Nations, First Thoughts brings together Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal scholars who cut through the prevailing orthodoxy to reveal Indigenous thinkers and activists as a pervasive presence in diverse political, constitutional, and cultural debates and arenas, including urban spaces, historical texts, public policy, and cultural heritage preservation. This innovative, thought-provoking collection contributes to the decolonization process by encouraging us to imagine a stronger, fairer Canada in which Aboriginal self-government and expression can be fully realized.

Driven Apart - Women's Employment Equality and Child Care in Canadian Public Policy (Paperback, New Ed): Annis May Timpson Driven Apart - Women's Employment Equality and Child Care in Canadian Public Policy (Paperback, New Ed)
Annis May Timpson
R807 Discovery Miles 8 070 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Annis May Timpson demonstrates how Canadian women's calls for family-friendly employment policies have translated into inaction or inappropriate action on the part of successive federal governments. She focuses on debates, public inquiries, and policy evolution during the Trudeau, Mulroney, and Chretien eras, contextualizing these developments with a discussion of the changing patterns of women's employment since the Second World War. Drawing on a wealth of interviews and close analysis of primary documents, Driven Apart explains why federal governments have been able to implement employment equity policies but have failed to develop a national system of child care. Driven Apart was selected as an Outstanding Academic Title by CHOICE and was awarded The Pierre Savard Prize by the International Council for Canadian Studies.
