About this ebook
Political Calendars explores the surprising influence of calendars on politics, demonstrating how they shape governance and policy. Governments strategically use calendars to time elections, legislative sessions, and national events, influencing political outcomes in ways we often overlook. For example, the timing of elections can significantly impact voter turnout and campaign strategies. The book reveals that calendars are not neutral; they are active instruments of power. Legislative agendas are often dictated by calendrical constraints like fiscal years, impacting which laws can be passed. National holidays also serve a political purpose, reinforcing narratives and mobilizing support. This book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from political science, history, and other fields to examine the ethical implications of using calendars as tools of power. Starting with the basics of political time and different calendar systems, Political Calendars progresses through electoral cycles, legislative agendas, and national events, offering a unique perspective on the temporal dimensions of power.
