Tafelberg Short: The ANC's Battle of Mangaung

Much of the country's political future is determined by the ANC's internal elections. Here political analyst Susan Booysen gives an incisive breakdown of the cutthroat elections of Polokwane in 2007 and Mangaung in 2012, which will set a course for the party and its potential for renewal for years to come – and for South Africa.

Syriza Wave

Helena Sheehan

Syriza Wave

Utterly corrupt corporate and government elites bankrupted Greece twice over. First, by profligate deficit spending benefitting only themselves; second, by agreeing to an IMF “bailout” of the Greek economy, devastating ordinary Greek citizens who were already enduring government-induced poverty, unemployment, and hunger. Finally, in response to dire “austerity” measures, the people of Greece stood up, forming, from their own historic roots of resistance,...

Stopping the Spies

Jane Duncan

Stopping the Spies

In 2013, former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden leaked secret documents revealing that state agencies like the NSA had spied on the communications of millions of innocent citizens. International outrage resulted, but the Snowden documents revealed only the tip of the surveillance iceberg. Apart from insisting on their rights to tap into communications, more and more states are placing citizens under surveillance, tracking their movements and transactions with public and...

Spectacle

Spectacle

Global media and advances in technology have profoundly affected the way people experience events. The essays in this volume explore the dimensions of contemporary spectacles from the Arab Spring to spectatorship in Hollywood. Questioning the effects that spectacles have on their observers, the authors ask: Are viewers robbed of their autonomy, transformed into depoliticized and passive consumers, or rather are they drawn in to cohesive communities? Does their participation in an...

South Africa’s Suspended Revolution

Adam Habib

South Africa’s Suspended Revolution

South Africa’s Suspended Revolution tells the story of South Africa’s democratic transition and the prospects for the country to develop a truly inclusive political system. Beginning with an account of the transition in the leadership of the African National Congress from Thabo Mbeki to Jacob Zuma, the book then broadens its lens to examine the relationship of South Africa’s political elite to its citizens. It also examines the evolution of economic and social policies through the democratic...

Some Causes of Organizational Ineffectiveness Within the Department of State (Occasional Paper #2)

So vast has the international commitment of our government grown in the last decades, and with this the corresponding increase in the staff engaged in foreign affairs activities, that it is no longer possible to find the channels for personal communications we once had. Yet undoubtedly today’s officers are engaged in a wider variety of experiences than ever before in our history.<P> This series of Occasional Papers produced by the Center for International Systems Research was designed to...

Social Class in Europe

Étienne Penissat

Social Class in Europe

Over the last ten years the issue of Europe has been placed at the centre of major political conflicts, revealing profound splits in society. These splits are represented in terms of an opposition between those countries on the losing and those on the winning sides of globalisation. Inequalities beyond those nations are critically absent from the debate.Based on major European statistical surveys, the new research in this work presents a map of social classes inspired by Pierre Bourdieu’s...

Smart Tourism – Share Economy im Tourismus

Tourismus ist Share Economy. Die Autoren betrachten die Beziehungen der Share Economy zu der Tourismuswirtschaft. Sie zeigen, wie viele selbstverständliche Formen des Teilens und Tauschens im Tourismus allgegenwärtig sind: Car Sharing, Couchsurfing, Leihfahrräder, Hand gegen Koje im Segeltourismus, Reiseblogs und Twitter als Meinungstausch, geteilte Stimmungen und Emotionen und sogar Trauerreisen als „geteiltes Leid“ werden von Prof. Dr. Axel Dreyer und Dr. Martin Linne beschreiben.

Sinews of War and Trade

Sinews of War and Trade

On the map of global trade, China is now the factory of the world. A parade of ships full of raw commodities—iron ore, coal, oil—arrive in its ports, and fleets of container ships leave with manufactured goods in all directions. The oil that fuels China’s manufacturing comes primarily from the Arabian peninsula. Much of the material shipped from China are transported through the ports of Arabian peninsula, Dubai’s Jabal Ali port foremost among them. China’s ‘maritime silk road’ flanks the...

Shutting Down the Streets

Shutting Down the Streets

Recently, a wall was built in eastern Germany. Made of steel and cement blocks, topped with razor barbed wire, and reinforced with video monitors and movement sensors, this wall was not put up to protect a prison or a military base, but rather to guard a three-day meeting of the finance ministers of the Group of Eight (G8). The wall manifested a level of security that is increasingly commonplace at meetings regarding the global economy. The authors of Shutting Down the Streets have directly...

Shaping a different Europe

Englische Sprachausgabe des Titels «Für ein anderes Europa» (ISBN 978-3-80152-7002-5): In the face of the «euro crisis» the question arises: how does the European Union look in terms of the fundamental values and goals of the political left – democracy, self-determination, freedom and prosperity for as many people as possible? Is the EU an emancipatory instrument for the citizens of Europe? Or is it an agent of their creeping disenfranchisement? Do we need more Europe – or less? Is the EU...

Set the Night on Fire

Mike Davis

Set the Night on Fire

Histories of the US sixties invariably focus on New York City, but Los Angeles was an epicenter of that decade’s political and social earthquake. L.A. was a launchpad for Black Power—where Malcolm X and Angela Davis first came to prominence and the Watts uprising shook the nation—and home to the Chicano walkouts and Moratorium, as well as birthplace of ‘Asian America’ as a political identity, base of the antiwar movement, and of course, centre of California counterculture. Mike Davis and Jon...

Schweiz – Europäische Union: Grundlagen, Bilaterale Abkommen, Autonomer Nachvollzug

Die schweizerische Europapolitik steht auf dem Prüfstand. Nach der Ablehnung der Volksinitiative «Für eine massvolle Zuwanderung (Begrenzungsinitiative)» rückt das geplante Institutionelle Abkommen in den Fokus der Öffentlichkeit. Die EU erwartet von der Schweiz, sich zum vorliegenden Text zu bekennen. Der Bundesrat beurteilt den Entwurf zwar positiv, hat bislang aber darauf verzichtet, ihn zu unterzeichnen. Er verlangt Klärungen und Präzisierungen in Bezug auf den Lohnschutz, die...

Schöne Grüße aus dem Orbán-Land

„Viel Feind, viel Ehr“, scheint derzeit die Devisedes nationalkonservativen Ministerpräsidenten Ungarns, Viktor Orbán, zu sein. Ohne Rücksicht auf Proteste im eigenen Land, ohne Rücksicht auf die massiven Bedenken der EU, des Europarates, der USA und zahlreicher Menschenrechtsorganisationen setzt der 50-jährige Ungar seine rechte Revolution im Land fort, ganz nach seinen persönlichen Vorstellungen und manövriert damit sein Land in die Isolation. Demokratische Institutionen oder Kontrollinstanzen...
