Creating Freedom

Raoul Martinez

Creating Freedom

In the run up to the June 8th General Election, Raoul Martinez and his publisher have decided to make the ebook of his book Creating Freedom free to readers in the UK so that the ideas and knowledge contained within it can be as widely disseminated as possible. We are far less free than we like to think. In Creating Freedom, Raoul Martinez exposes the mechanisms of control that pervade our lives and the myths on which they depend. Exploring the lottery of our birth, the coercive...

Thirty Years Later . . . Catching Up with the Marcos-Era Crimes

Until they were expelled from power thirty years ago, in early 1986, the late dictator Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos (she, the Shoe Queen) jointly ruled the Philippines with impunity for 20+ years. They were an efficient cash-and-carry team—while he raided the national till, she shopped 'til she dropped. In the words of the US congressman investigating them, "Compared to her (Imelda), Marie Antoinette was a bag lady," . . . while Ferdinand made master embezzler...

Win-win -ajattelu

Win-win –toiminnassa molemmat osapuolet voittavat ja yhteinen voitto on suurempi kuin yksin voidaan mitenkÃ¤Ã¤n saavuttaa. Ei ole ylÃ¤rajaa sille, kuinka hyvÃ¤ tulos yhdessÃ¤ on mahdollista saada verrattuna vain oman edun tavoitteluun. Aito win-win –ajattelu ei ole peliÃ¤ toista vastaan, mistÃ¤ kaikki peliteoreettiset ratkaisut nÃ¤yttÃ¤vÃ¤t lÃ¤htevÃ¤n, vaan se on tÃ¤ysipainoista yhteistyÃ¶tÃ¤ kaikkien pelaajien kesken.

A Question of Order

Basharat Peer

A Question of Order

What happens when a democratically elected leader evolves into an authoritarian ruler, limiting press freedom, civil liberties, and religious and ethnic tolerance? India and Turkey are two of the world's biggest democracies –multi-ethnic nations that rose from their imperial past to be founded on the values of modernity. They have fair elections, open markets, and freedom of religion. Yet this is an account of how the charismatic strongmen Narendra Modi, in India, and Recep Tyyip Erdogan,...

The United States Government Shutdowns and Emergency Declarations

A government shutdown occurs when Congress does not approve of or the President rejects the federal budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Since the 1990s, Congress has often failed to pass the twelve to thirteen appropriation bills that set government-wide spending. In their stead they pass «continuing resolutions (CR)» to extend the existing spending law at or near current levels, and «omnibus» bills that combine many appropriations bills into one. <br...

Theresa May has officially stepped down as the leader of the Conservative Party on Friday, but will remain as prime minister until her successor is chosen in July, 2019. She announced her resignation saying it was a matter of deep regret that she had been unable to deliver Brexit. Her resignation may have made a no deal Brexit impossible to stop. German chancellor Angela Merkel said she had worked well with Theresa May but 'respected' the British PM's...

Renowned political commentator William Gumede takes a fearless look at these and other burning issues which threaten the South African democracy: leadership battles within the ANC, attacks on the constitution, black economic empowerment strategies which only benefit a few, racism and moral bankruptcy....

Will South Africa Be Okay?

Jan-Jan Joubert

Will South Africa Be Okay?

In South Africa, they say, the best – and the worst – never happens. But how do we know the country is not going to tumble down the precipice this time? South Africans who are fed up with corruption – but love the country – have been waiting hopefully for nearly a decade for the Zuma era to come to an end. Now Cyril Ramaphosa is in charge, yet the future still seems uncertain. Since Ramaphosa moved into the Union Buildings, the unemployment rate has skyrocketed. The economy is stagnant. With...

Gaan Suid-Afrika oukei wees?

In Suid-Afrika, so word gesê, gebeur die beste en die slegste nooit. Maar hoe weet ons die land gaan nie dié keer oor die afgrond tuimel nie? Suid-Afrikaners wat keelvol is vir korrupsie – maar lief vir die land – het byna 'n dekade lank hoopvol daarna uitgesien dat Jacob Zuma uit die kussings gelig word. Nou is Cyril Ramaphosa aan die stuur, maar steeds lyk die toekoms onseker. Sedert Ramaphosa die Uniegebou betrek het, het die werkloosheidskoers die hoogte ingeskiet. Die ekonomie groei...

Un mundo que cambia - patriotismo frente a agenda globalista (Unabridged)

El 26 de diciembre 1991, tuvo lugar un hecho de extraordinaria importancia en la Historia universal. Se trató de la disolución de la Unión Soviética, un acontecimiento de enormes repercusiones que pocos habían previsto. A decir verdad, sólo el historiador Andrei Amalrík y el premio Nobel Alexander Solzhenitsyn , disidentes rusos, habían tenido el valor y la visión para anunciar que semejante seísmo tendría lugar. Aunque es indiscutible que la Guerra fría concluyó, no son pocos los que pretenden...

Power in Action

Power in Action

Argues that South Africans, like everyone else, need democracy for a more equal society What are democracies meant to do? And how does one know when one is a democratic state? These incisive questions and more by leading political scientist, Steven Friedman, underlie this robust enquiry into what democracy means for South Africa post 1994. Democracy is often viewed through a lens reflecting Western understanding. New democracies are compared to idealized notions by which the system is said to...

Humanitarian Imperialism

Jean Bricmont

Humanitarian Imperialism

Since the end of the Cold War, the idea of human rights has been made into a justification for intervention by the world's leading economic and military powers—above all, the United States—in countries that are vulnerable to their attacks. The criteria for such intervention have become more arbitrary and self-serving, and their form more destructive, from Yugoslavia to Afghanistan to Iraq. Until the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the large parts of the left was often complicit...

Global Obscenities

Zillah Eisenstein

Global Obscenities

The New York Times devotes the cover of its magazine to America's declining interest in politics and its obsession with money, finance, and the markets. Bill Gates builds a $50 million mansion while food pantries and homeless shelters overflow with the desperate. The explosive expansion of media and cyber conglomerates creates dreamworlds while the ecology of our actual world is jeopardized. Public space and public democracy withers, as is evidenced by the fact that the closest facsimile of...

Rhetorics of Insecurity

Rhetorics of Insecurity

In Rhetorics of Insecurity, Zeynep Gambetti and Marcial Godoy-Anativia bring together a select group of scholars to investigate the societal ramifications of the present-day concern with security in diverse contexts and geographies. The essays claim that discourses and practices of security actually breed insecurity, rather than merely being responses to the latter. By relating the binary of security/insecurity to the binary of neoliberalism/neoconservatism, the contributors to this volume...
