Veto Players. How Political Institutions Work

Veto Players. How Political Institutions Work

| George Tsebelis
The passage discusses three books: one by Carmen Innerarty, another by George Tsebelis, and the third by Antonio Guerrero Serón. 1. **Carmen Innerarty's Book**: The book addresses the relationship between citizenship and globalization, questioning whether citizenship remains tied to national institutions and political processes. It also critiques Michael Sandel's "Democracy's Discontent," arguing that liberal egalitarianism is more suitable than civic republicanism for strengthening citizenship in modern societies. The book is a collection of essays, updated and unified, but still contains some repetitions and specific responses to reviews. 2. **George Tsebelis' "Veto Players"**: This book systematizes and deepens Tsebelis' concept of "veto players," which are actors with the power to block decisions in political systems. The concept is applied to various comparative political issues, providing a generalizable and parsimonious theory on decision-making. The book explores how different political institutions affect public policies, with the stability of policies influenced by the number, ideological distance, and cohesion of veto players. However, the theory has limitations, such as ad hoc applications and a focus on policy stability rather than actual change. 3. **Antonio Guerrero Serón's "Enseñanza y sociedad"**: This book systematically reviews the theoretical currents in sociological education from their origins to the present. It is aimed at graduate students, sociology educators, and professionals in education. The author provides detailed documentation and citations, especially in the chapter on Marx, and proposes a theoretical framework for sociological knowledge in education. Despite the challenges of covering well-studied authors and the permeable boundaries between sociology and other educational sciences, the book offers an innovative and comprehensive guide.The passage discusses three books: one by Carmen Innerarty, another by George Tsebelis, and the third by Antonio Guerrero Serón. 1. **Carmen Innerarty's Book**: The book addresses the relationship between citizenship and globalization, questioning whether citizenship remains tied to national institutions and political processes.
