For decades now wealth and power have been shifting from states to markets. This experiment has been a failure for all but a privileged few. But this trend is beginning to reverse, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen the state play the most direct and positive role in citizens’ everyday lives in living memory. Graeme Garrard makes a powerful case for the state as our only realistic hope of countering the rising power of multinational corporations, organized crime, and international organizations that will always put their own interests first.

The award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that the best hope for Western democracy is a return to the empiricist, religious, and nationalist traditions of America and Britain—the conservative traditions that brought greatness to the English-speaking nations and became the model for national freedom for the entire world. Conservatism: A Rediscovery explains how Anglo-American conservatism became a distinctive alternative to divine-right monarchy, Puritan theocracy, and liberal revolution.

O livro é resultado de pesquisa doutoral realizada pelo autor junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito pela Universidade Estácio de Sá. Partindo da perspectiva de Roger Myerson que associa a forma federativa estatal à democracia em países em transição democrática, o autor realiza um estudo do processo centralizador ocorrido no Brasil mediante o uso abusivo do processo de emendamento constitucional.

En todo el mundo, las democracias se enfrentan a un enemigo nuevo e implacable que no tiene ejército ni armada; no procede de ningún país que podamos señalar en un mapa, porque no viene de ahí fuera, sino de aquí dentro. En lugar de desafiar a las sociedades libres con la destrucción desde el exterior, amenaza con corroerlas desde el interior.

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.

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.
