Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2009Devolution in the UK
by James Mitchell
This book explains devolution today in terms of the evolution of past structures of government in the component parts of the United Kingdom. It highlights the importance of the English dimension and the role that England's territorial politics played in constitutional debates. Similarities and differences between how the components of the UK were governed are described. It argues that the UK should be understood now, even more than pre-devolution, as a state of distinct unions, each with its own deeply rooted past and trajectory. Using previously unpublished primary material, as well as a wealth of secondary work, the book offers a comprehensive account of the territorial constitution of the UK from the early twentieth century through to the operation of the new devolved system of government. ;

Bildtheorie
by W. J. T. Mitchell
Was sind Bilder? Wie unterscheiden sie sich von Worten? Was genau sind Bilder heute, also in einer Zeit, in der die Macht des Sichtbaren größer scheint als je zuvor und in der der pictorial turn den linguistic turn abgelöst hat? W. J. T. Mitchell, einer der Pioniere der Visual Culture Studies, beantwortet diese Fragen, indem er das Zusammenspiel des Sichtbaren und des Sagbaren in allen kulturellen Bereichen untersucht, von der Literatur über die bildende Kunst bis zu den Massenmedien. Der Band versammelt seine wichtigsten Aufsätze, die längst als Klassiker der bildwissenschaftlichen Forschung gelten.

April 2008Komplexitäten
Warum wir erst anfangen, die Welt zu verstehen
by Sandra Mitchell, Sebastian Vogel
Eine neue Herausforderung für die Wissenschaft: Die Welt ist komplex, also sollten es auch unsere Vorstellungen von ihr sein. Viele Disziplinen der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften haben sich lange an diese Maxime gehalten. Die Naturwissenschaften aber haben traditionell nach einfachen, universalen und zeitlosen Gesetzen gesucht. Damit wollten sie die "schwirrende Verwirrung" ("blooming, buzzing confusion", William James) erklären, die die ungeschulten Sinne dem Geist präsentieren. Aber dieses Unternehmen ist gescheitert. Sandra Mitchell zeigt, daß uns die Komplexität der lebendigen Welt dazu zwingt, unsere Denkmodelle radikal zu revidieren und nach einer adäquateren Erkenntnislehre zu suchen. Dazu hat die Systemtheorie Vorgaben geliefert, die seit einigen Jahren von der Komplexitätstheorie spezifiziert worden sind. Komplexe Systeme – wie die Welt, in der wir leben – zeichnen sich unter anderem durch Emergenz und Relationen aus: Was auf der Makroebene sichtbar wird, ist erst durch Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Elementen des Systems zu erklären. Wohin zum Beispiel ein Vogelschwarm fliegt, hängt nicht nur von den Individuen ab, sondern vor allem von Feedbackprozessen zwischen ihnen. Mitchell fordert deshalb: Wer die Welt verstehen will, muß auch verstehen lernen, warum das Ganze tatsächlich mehr ist als die Summe der einzelnen Teile.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2010Voting for a Scottish government
The Scottish Parliament election of 2007
by Robert Johns, David Denver, James Mitchell, Charles Pattie
In 2007 Labour lost an election in Scotland for the first time in half a century and the SNP went on to form the Scottish Government. This book explains why. Based on a unique three-wave survey of the Scottish electorate, it can truly be described as the first full-scale Scottish national election study. As such, it is notable not only for its innovative methodology but also because theories and concepts are taken from the recent electoral studies literature and applied to Scotland. Other questions investigated include the impact of campaigning and of the party leaders (at both Scottish and British level) on the election outcome. In addition, for the first time in the UK context, a special study is made of the causes and consequences of rejected ballots - the large number of which at this election caused a media outcry. This book will be required reading for anyone interested in, involved in, teaching or studying Scottish politics. It will also be an important text for those concerned with UK politics in general and attract particular interest among students of elections, both in the UK and internationally. ;

Teaching, Language & ReferenceJuly 2015Politics and peace in Northern Ireland
Political parties and the implementation of the 1998 Agreement
by David Mitchell
Politics and peace in Northern Ireland analyses the complex and contradictory process of implementing the Good Friday Agreement. Using the lens of security dilemma theory, it begins with an original overview of the conflict, the Agreement and post-1998 politics. The book then explores post-Agreement Northern Ireland through the eyes of each of the four main political parties, showing how they tried to shape the course of peace implementation, and how implementation, in turn, shaped the fates and fortunes of the parties. Drawing on extensive original research, this book explains the promise and limits of the Agreement. It shows how and why the two sides' mutual insecurities repeatedly derailed peace implementation, and reflects on the likely direction of parties and politics in the future. This clearly written and up-to-date book will be of interest to scholars and students of recent Northern Irish history, ethnic conflict and peace-making. ;
