  • Ageing Populations in Post-industrial Democracies : Comparative Studies of Policies and Politics.
  • Pieter Vanhuysse et. al. (eds.) 2011
  • Hardback, 296 pages, 22 black & white tables, 15 black & white line drawings, 234 x 156 mm. As the first sustained political science analysis of population ageing, this monograph examines both sides of the debate. It examines the actions of the state against the interests of a growing elderly voting bloc to safeguard fiscal viability, and looks at highly-topical responses such as pension cuts and increasing retirement age. It also examines the rise of 'grey parties', and asks what, if anything, makes such pensioner parties persist over time, in the first ever analysis of the emergence of pensioner parties in Europe.

    Young: Postcolonialism, a Very Short Introduction. Paperback

    • Postcolonialism, a Very Short Introduction
    • Robert Young 2003
    • Paperback, 192 pages, 10 halftones, 174 x 111 mm
    • This innovative and lively book is quite unlike any other introduction to postcolonialism. Robert Young examines the political, social, and cultural after-effects of decolonization by presenting situations, experiences, and testimony rather than going through the theory at an abstract level. He situates the debate in a wide cultural context, discussing its importance as an historical condition, with examples such as the status of aboriginal people, of those dispossessed from their land, Algerian rai music, postcolonial feminism, and global social and ecological movements.
