検索キーワード： 民主主義

La democracia es el espacio donde desembocan todos los ideales políticos de la modernidad. Ahí confluyen impulsos no sólo diversos sino incluso contrarios: la aspiración de identidad y pluralidad, de liderazgo y contrapesos, de libertad e igualdad, de soberanía y tolerancia, de participación y prudencia. Por ello, la contradicción no es un accidente de la democracia: es su esencia.

Trump, la Brexit, i risultati delle elezioni in molti paesi europei, la Turchia di Erdogan, l'India di Modi: prendono forza a livello globale tendenze che paiono sancire il divorzio fra la democrazia e i principi liberali che l'hanno innervata, soprattutto in Occidente. Eppure viviamo in un mondo che non vede affatto, come si crede, un peggioramento socioeconomico o un aumento delle diseguaglianze.

En sus distintas variantes, desde la ateniense hasta nuestros días, la democracia aparece como un sistema incuestionable que ha ido aumentando el grado de participación de los ciudadanos. En este libro, la politóloga Yanina Welp profundiza en la historia de las ideas y los Estados, los modelos que se establecieron en Europa y las Américas, la disputa por el significado de la democracia y del rol atribuido a la ciudadanía.

India's relations with the People's Republic of China have captured the popular imagination ever since the 1950s but have rarely merited a detailed understanding of the issues. Individual episodes tend to arouse lively debate, which often dissipates without a deeper exploration of the factors...

Una persona, un voto: la democrazia si basa su una promessa di uguaglianza che troppo spesso si infrange sul muro del denaro. Finanziamento delle campagne elettorali, donazioni ai partiti politici, controllo dei media: da decenni la vita democratica è prigioniera degli interessi privati.

La democrazia italiana è lunatica come un adolescente implume, come una ballerina di flamenco. Da qui la sua cifra distintiva: gli sbalzi d'umore, l'incoerenza, le scelte capricciose. E un'onda emotiva perennemente inquieta, che sommerge la ragione. I nostri governanti - non tutti, si capisce - non conoscono il passato, non hanno abbastanza fantasia per proiettarsi nel futuro. Sicché girano in tondo, scambiandosi ruoli e competenze come durante una quadriglia, il vecchio ballo popolare.

In Democracy Lives in Darkness, Emily Van Duyn discovers and follows a secret political organization of progressive women in a conservative community in rural Texas. Its members met in secret to protect themselves from retaliation by their conservative neighbors, friends, and family. They discussed immigrant rights, women's reproductive rights, racism, and intolerance of those of different racial/ethnic and cultural backgrounds in their community. Democracy Lives in Darkness is about this group: their daily lives, their choices, and ultimately, their incubation.

Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen des Politikbetriebs. Politiker müssen etwas zu sagen haben, aber Reden ist auch gefährlich. Jeder Satz kann aus dem Zusammenhang gerissen, auf die Goldwaage gelegt und vom politischen Gegner bewusst fehlinterpretiert werden. Nichts ist so einfach wie man es gerne hätte, aber komplizierte Sachverhalte zu erklären ist in Zeiten von kurzen Aufmerksamkeitsspannen eine besondere Herausforderung. Oft müssen Themen wie die Veräußerungserlösgewinnsteuer erst einmal "übersetzt" werden, um auf ihre Relevanz für Bürgerinnen und Bürger hinzuweisen und damit ihr Interesse zu wecken.

In the more than five tumultuous, paradigm-shifting years of Donald Trump’s presidency and beyond, his near-constant lying has become a fixture of political life. It is inextricably linked with how his party behaves, how the Democrats respond to it, and how he remains relevant, even after a decisive loss in 2020. Jonathan Lemire brings his connections, profile, and reportorial instincts to bear in his first book that explores how this phenomenon shapes our politics. The Big Lie is the first audiobook to examine this unprecedented and tenuous moment in our nation’s politics.

¿Es el relato oficial de la Transición verdaderamente fidedigno? Juan Carlos Monedero pone en el punto de mira los silencios, los aullidos y las poses fotográficas de quienes participaron en ella y de quienes no lo hicieron pero se agarraron al discurso oficial como un clavo ardiendo. En estas páginas se cuestionan ciertos aspectos del pasado ya no tan reciente de España y de su efecto en la sociedad y el sistema democrático.

The story of America is the struggle between our liberal ideal and illiberal resistance. Donald Trump catalyzed a reactionary revolution by tapping into the dark, shadowy side of American democracy that embraces exclusion and inequality. Throughout American history these alarming impulses have come to the forefront of our culture — during the Civil War, the era of the Robber Barons, and the Civil Rights Movement — but have now come to fruition in the presidency of Donald Trump.

La crisis económica ha acelerado el ritmo de los cambios políticos en todo el mundo: mayor imprevisibilidad electoral, regresiones autoritarias, surgimiento de nuevos partidos, dificultades para formar gobierno o aumento de las tensiones territoriales, todas ellas cuestiones al orden del día. Esta aceleración ha hecho que cada vez haya ganado más espacio en el debate público una figura hasta ahora ignorada: el politólogo.

On Islam and American Democracy is an articulation of Imam Mohammed’s commentary on why America and its ideal of democracy is the best place in the world today for Muslims to live out the ideals and principles of Islamic democracy as outlined in the holy book of Islam, the Qur’an, and the life and example of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammed, who lived a little more than 1,400 years ago.
