        Private Regierung

        Wie Arbeitgeber über unser Leben herrschen (und warum wir nicht darüber reden)

        by Elizabeth Anderson, Karin Wördemann

        Der freie Markt war einmal ein progressives Projekt, das zur Befreiung der Lohnabhängigen führen sollte – von obrigkeitsstaatlichen Strukturen und von der Gängelung durch die Arbeitgeber. Elizabeth Anderson zeigt, was aus dieser schönen Idee geworden ist: reine Ideologie in den Händen mächtiger ökonomischer Akteure, die sich wenig um die Freiheit und die Rechte von Arbeitnehmern scheren. Sie arbeitet heraus, wie sich der positive Zusammenhang zwischen freiem Markt und freiem Arbeiter aufgelöst hat, und bestimmt die gegenwärtige Beziehung zwischen Arbeitgebern und Arbeitnehmern neu: als eine von quasi autokratisch herrschenden, privaten Regierungen und den von ihnen Regierten, die in vielerlei Hinsicht das Nachsehen haben. Eine beeindruckende Dekonstruktion eines Mythos des Marktdenkens.

        Language and imagination in the Gawain poems

        by J. J. Anderson

        This major new literary study offers a fresh view of the significance of the famous group of fourteenth-century poems, 'Pearl', 'Cleanness', 'Patience' and 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'. It is a comprehensive study which puts the poems themselves firmly at its centre, though it is always alert to relevant aspects of their literary and cultural context. John Anderson builds his discussions of the poems' ideas on an examination of the anonymous poet's superb Shakespeare-like language. He finds that the great fourteenth-century struggle, between religious and secular forces for control of men's minds, underlies all the poems. This title is the first in the new Manchester Medieval Literature series, which makes readability a priority. Accordingly, despite its wide range of reference and the radicalism of some of its leading ideas, this book is written in a jargon-free style designed to appeal to specialist, non-specialist and student readers alike.

        Christianity and democratisation

        From pious subjects to critical participants

        by John Anderson

        This book examines the contribution of different Christian traditions to the waves of democratisation that have swept various parts of the world in recent decades. It offers a historical overview of Christianity's engagement with the development of democracy, before focusing in detail on the period since the 1970s. Successive chapters deal with: the Roman Catholic conversion to democracy and the contribution of that church to democratisation; the Eastern Orthodox 'hesitation' about democracy; the alleged threat to American democracy posed by the politicisation of conservative Protestantism; and the likely impact on democratic development of the global expansion of Pentecostalism. The author draws out several common themes from the analysis of these case studies, the most important of which is the 'liberal-democracy paradox'. This ensures that there will always be tensions between faiths that proclaim some notion of absolute truth and political orders that are rooted in the idea of compromise, negotiation and bargaining. Written in an accessible style, this book will appeal to students of politics, sociology and religion, and prove useful on a range of advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses. ;

        Territorial politics in Catalonia and Scotland

        Nations in flux

        by Paul Anderson

        Nations in flux explores the evolution of territorial politics in Catalonia and Scotland since 2010, offering an in-depth, comparative analysis of developments in both cases and drawing on interviews with political elites whilst providing a compelling snapshot of the growing relevance of nationalism in contemporary society and politics. Empirically, this book analyses the experiences and effects of referendums on independence, Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic, and examines some of the most pressing tensions within the existing territorial models. It highlights the need for further reform in both cases and identifies necessary changes to ensure the institutionalisation of more accommodative territorial models and thus, the continuation of political partnership between Catalonia and Spain, and Scotland and the UK. Overall, the book raises important questions about the accommodation of diversity in plurinational states in the twenty-first century.
