Capitalism and Catastrophe questions whether there areprocesses in advanced capitalism that lead inevitably to systemiccollapse. The author challenges those Marxian theories based on aset of historically evolving 'internal contradictions' derived froma purely dialectical analysis of capitalism. In Part I he focuseson the controversy surrounding Rosa Luxemburg's theories ofimperialism and capital accumulation, and on Marx's treatment ofscience and technology in the Grundrisse. In Part I I he criticallyexamines neo- and non-Marxian theories of advanced capitalism, inparticular the work of Jurgen Habermas regarding the problem ofpolitical legitimation in advanced capitalism. Professor Rousseasargues that Marxists have severely underestimated the resilience ofthe capitalist system, which must be taken into account by anytheory of political economy relevant to the twentieth century.

This book considers a variety of explanations of why politicaldisagreement is so extensive and persistent. The author examinesvariants of the 'contestability' and 'imperfection' conceptionswhich have dominated political theory: the idea that politicaldisagreement is so pervasive because of its value-ladenness; thatkey political concepts are essentially contested; that those whooccupy very different political positions fail to understand eachother. He argues that we need to develop a framework which borrowselements from both schools of thought, presupposing some form ofmoral cognitivism, while recognizing that many political disputescannot be resolved to the satisfaction of every reasonable person.Within such a framework he shows how empirical models can beconstructed which give an active role not only to the agent'sreasons for his or her beliefs, but also to other psychological andsociological considerations.

Jonas Tallberg offers a novel perspective on some of the mostfundamental questions about international cooperation and EuropeanUnion politics. Offering the first systematic theoretical andempirical exploration of the influence wielded by chairmen ofmultilateral negotiations, Tallberg develops a rationalist theoryof formal leadership and demonstrates its explanatory power throughcarefully selected case studies of EU negotiations. He shows thatthe rotating Presidency of the EU constitutes a power platform thatgrants governments unique opportunities to shape the outcomes ofnegotiations. His provocative analysis establishes thatPresidencies, while performing vital functions for the EU,simultaneously exploit their privileged political position tofavour national interests. Extending the scope of the analysis tointernational negotiations on trade, security and the environment,Tallberg further demonstrates that the influence of the EUPresidency is not an isolated occurrence but the expression of ageneral pheno

An examination of the nature of political change within avillage, which the author calls Morapitiya, in the Kandyanhighlands of Sri Lanka, during the transition from colony toindependent nation.

'Deliberative politics' refers to the role of conversation andarguments in politics. Until recently discussion of deliberativepolitics took place almost exclusively among politicalphilosophers, but many questions raised in this philosophicaldiscussion cry out for empirical investigation. This book providesthe first extended empirical study of deliberative politics,addressing, in particular, questions of the preconditions andconsequences of high level deliberation. Using parliamentarydebates in Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the UnitedStates as an empirical base, the authors measure the level ofdeliberation by constructing a 'Discourse Quality Index'. Asdeliberative politics moves to the forefront of political theory,this book makes an important contribution to deliberativedemocracy.
