Richard S. Katz Books

Focusing on the relationship between electoral systems and political party dynamics, Richard S. Katz analyzes how different systems influence party cohesion, ideology, and issue orientation in Western parliamentary contexts. Through a rationalistic approach, the book tests a theory that sheds light on the behavior of political actors driven by self-interest. As a foundational work in political theory, it enhances the understanding of parliamentary party structures, making significant contributions to the field.

Connecting modern psychology to its Indigenous roots to enhance the healing process and psychology itself

Among the many books on why some nations prosper better than others, this is the first such focusing this theme on Japan in many years. And it is the first in English to show how a revival of Japan's past entrepreneurship will promote broader economic recovery, and written in a lively style, this book will appeal to laypersons, scholars, businesspeople, and policymakers alike. Adding to the appeal is that the book demonstrates how current trends give Japan its best opportunity for recovery in a generation. At the same time, its discussion of the forces opposing an entrepreneurial revival adds both realism and drama. There truly is a contest of forces for control of Japan's economic future. On top of that, the book will attract those interested in broader themes ranging from generational attitudes and gender relations to culture and technology.
