THE POLITICS OF REPRESENTATION Writing Practices in Biography, Photography, and Policy Analysis Michael J. Shapiro The Politics of Representation presents a strong argu- ment for the political significance of modes of writing in a variety of genres. Philosophy, literary theory, political science, sociology, communications, anthropology, and legal studies-all are subject to Shapiro's original thought and analysis. Rhetoric of the Human Sciences Series / 1988 / Cloth $27.50 POLITICS OF AMBIGUITY William E. Connolly In a series of stimulating essays, William E. Connolly argues that democratic politics in a modern society requires, if it is to flourish, an appreciation of the ambiguous character of the stand- ards and principles we cherish the most. Connolly's challenging work will interest all who wish to understand the connections between contempo- rary epistemological arguments and politics and, more broadly, between thought and language. Rhetonrc of the Human Sciences Series / 1987 / Cloth $25.00 DEMOCRACY AND PUNISHMENT Disciplinary Origins of the United States Thomas L. Dumm In this highly original study, Thomas L. Dumm explores the roots of the American capacity to punish and discloses how the penitentiary, an American invention, has operated as a system for cre- ating the subjects of the American political order. 1987 / Cloth $40.00 / Paper $15.75 THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF INFORMATION Vincent Mosco and Janet Wasko, editors Information-as a marketable commodity-is quickly taking up the powerful role once held by heavy industry and manufactured products.

Its lessons and conclusions are of critical importance as we rush toward the last decade of this century.

Zim m fromSa l yge POLITICAL LEADERSHIP

by JEAN BLONDEL, European University Institute, Florence

National political leaders are the most recognized and talked about elements of political life. Considering the importance of political leadership, there has been surprisingly little comparative analysis of the phenomenon. In this highly innovative work, Professor Blondel defines leadership, examines per- sonal sources of power, analyzes political instruments available to leaders, and dicusses the relationship between leaders and citizens. He also catego- rizes leaders by their activities, goals, and the constraints and opportunities they face. This major comparative study will provide fascinating insights for scholars and students of comparative politics. CONTENTS: Introductibn / 1. What is Political Leadership and How Can It Be Assessed? / 2. The Role of Political Leadership Past and Present !/ 3. A Conceptual Assessment of the Impact of Political Leaders / 4. The Influence of Personal Character- istics on Political Leadership / 5. The Influence of Institutions on Political Leadership / 6. The Future of the Study of Political Leadership / Conclusion

POLITICS AND SOCIETY IN WESTERN EUROPE

by JAN-ERIK LANE & SVANTE 0. ERSSON, University of UMEA, Sweden

This comprehensive text describes and analyzes the major political systems of Western Europe, their party systems, and the decision-making institutions of government. Lane and Ersson first present an overview of the theory of comparative politics and political sociology. They then use wide-ranging empirical data on European politics to test key theoretical ideas. They discuss the political and social reasons for the diverse experiences of West- ern European countries since 1945, and analyze the crucial question of political stability. The authors argue that institutional arrangements and political stability are not solely determined by social structure. They explain Western European political systems in terms of social cleavages: class, ethnicity, regional iden- tity, and religion. Instructors will find this book ideal for courses in European government and comparative politics.
