Dieses Werk ist keine Verteidigung des Status quo, sondern ein radikaler Angriff auf das, was viele für unantastbar halten: die Demokratie. Dawid Snowden zerreißt den Schleier der Illusion und entlarvt die Demokratie als das, was sie im Kern ist – ein raffiniertes Missbrauchssystem, das Gewalt, Zwang und Abhängigkeit in Zustimmung und Freiheit verkleidet. Mit schonungsloser Sprache zeigt er, wie aus Bürgern Prostituierte des Staatsbordells gemacht werden: Sie arbeiten, zahlen und gehorchen, nicht aus freiem Willen, sondern aus erlernter Hilflosigkeit und jahrzehntelanger Dressur.

Rigorously empirical and rich in historical insight, The Sentinel State is a singular contribution to our knowledge about Chinese state coercion and, more generally, the survival strategies of authoritarian regimes.

Democratic politics is expensive. In US presidential elections, for instance, total spending now exceeds $6.5 billion. In the US, election campaigns are largely funded by private donations from individuals and corporate entities, whereas in Germany, the state is the main funder of electoral politics through subventions to parties. In some other countries, parties have been able to raise most of what they need internally by charging membership dues or, more exceptionally, by relying on a wealthy patron.

Scholars and citizens have often assumed that dispassionate rationality, reciprocity, and nonviolent tolerance are necessary conditions for the sustained development of democracy. Accordingly, they reject oppositional parties that spurn consensus and terms of mutual respect—and often use force to accomplish their political goals—denouncing extremists as antidemocratic.

Liberalism That Wins offers a way forward: a framework for democratic renewal that is morally credible, politically unifying, and strong enough to out-compete the extremes. It rejects empty nostalgia and blind technocracy in favour of a vision grounded in reality—one that can restore trust, rebuild legitimacy, and renew the democratic centre.

Estas páginas se ocupan de recordarnos que España es una nación histórica y no una nación de naciones puesto que ninguna de sus regiones tiene el espesor y la densidad cultural e histórica que atesora su conjunto; ninguna se explica por sí misma. El autor refuta el nacionalismo porque rechaza su construcción ahistórica con artificios mitológicos fundados (infundados) en la noche de los tiempos.

El marxismo ofreció el pensamiento más poderoso e integral de la era cristiana. Sin embargo, estaba equivocado y al plasmarse en los regímenes comunistas, muchos crímenes se cometieron en su nombre. Este libro pretende desvelar la plenitud de sus errores y abrir la puerta a alternativas válidas para hacer de la humanidad una gran familia mundial en el siglo XXI.

Between King Cotton and Queen Victoria recenters our understanding of the Civil War by framing it as a hemispheric affair, deeply influenced by the actions of a network of private parties and minor officials in the Confederacy and British territory in and around North America. John Wilkes Booth likely would not have been in a position to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, for example, without the logistical support and assistance of the pro-Confederate network in Canada.

The more we elevate and seek out privacy, the more it seems to diminish. Such is the paradox we have inherited. It is no coincidence that the word privacy was popularized in the 1890s as the West began its flirtation with centralization and top-down planning. The progressive pursuit of heaven on earth—of Utopia—arose from a desire to help the individual. But the individual would have to expose himself, to give up everything, in order to receive it.

In this urgent and eye-opening audiobook, clinical psychologist Dr. CE Davidson Cibelli explores how authoritarian movements use emotional tactics like dehumanization, gaslighting, identity distortion, and moral disengagement.

The prospect of Irish unification is now stronger than at any point since partition in 1921. Voters on both sides of the Irish border may soon have to confront for themselves what the answer to a referendum question would mean - for themselves, for their neighbours, and for their society. O'Toole and McBride each argue the case for and against unity, questioning received wisdom and bringing fresh thinking to one of Ireland's most intractable questions.

Solidarity is both an idea and a way of acting in the world, both a condition and a virtue. But, as Rowan Williams argues in this impassioned work, it's only by exploring how we are able to speak with and work alongside each other that we can unlock the real power of solidarity as a model for real community and care. Williams shows how understanding solidarity is an ongoing labor of self-scrutiny and communication in which difference and strangeness are affirmed, not elided.
