Two Presidents Are Better Than One

David Orentlicher

Two Presidents Are Better Than One

“Many Americans are unsatisfied with politics. Simultaneously, we are hesitant to question the basic soundness of our constitutional system. In this refreshingly provocative book, David Orentlicher explains why it is due time for us to reconsider dominant ideas about the presidency, now arguably our most powerful political institution. Challenging the conventional wisdom that the best executive is necessarily a unitary executive, Orentlicher makes a wonderful case for why...

Trotzki und Trotzkismus - gestern und heute

Leo Trotzki war eine der imposantesten Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er war Revolutionär und enger Vertrauter Lenins, Gründer der Roten Armee und erfolgreicher Heerführer, Wissenschaftler und Schriftsteller sowie Begründer einer Strömung der Arbeiterbewegung, die seinen Namen trägt. Als Gegner Stalins wurde er aus der UdSSR ausgewiesen und 1940 im mexikanischen Asyl ermordet. Seine theoretischen und politischen Auffassungen sind international bis heute umstritten. Der Trotzkismus hat...

Trotsky

Leon Trotsky was the most important contributor to the development of revolutionary Marxism this century, after Lenin. As exiled militant or Soviet statesman, party organizer or public orator, as political analyst, soldier or commentator on cultural trends, he was centrally involved in the world-historic upheavals of his time and foremost among the interpreters of their significance for socialism. Yet the fate of his achievement was dramatically discrepant from Lenin's. At the latter's...

Transregional versus National Perspectives on Contemporary Central European History

This volume compares different regional perspectives on the national and democracy-building aims of individual states. It confronts discourses about national states to regional perspectives on the past as well as the current political and social landscape. Why are we observing calls for national identity right now? What are the roots of this development? How can a Central European identity be shaped when national perspectives are prevalent? The book’s first part analyses social and political...

Transitional Justice

Rosemary Nagy

Transitional Justice

Criminal tribunals, truth commissions, reparations, apologies and memorializations are the characteristic instruments in the transitional justice toolkit that can help societies transition from authoritarianism to democracy, from civil war to peace, and from state-sponsored extra-legal violence to a rights-respecting rule of law. Over the last several decades, their growing use has established transitional justice as a body of both theory and practice whose guiding norms and structures...

Transformativer Realismus

Marc Saxer

Transformativer Realismus

Wer politisch die Richtung wechseln will, stößt meist auf Widerstand und Status-quo-Denken. Versuche, Krisen zu lösen, bleiben im Dickicht der Interessen stecken. Um die Klima-, Europa- Finanz-, Ungleichheits- und Demokratiekrise zu überwinden, sind daher Strategiewechsel unumgänglich. Leider verliert die progressive Linke bei ihren Lösungsansätzen oft die Realität gesellschaftlicher Kräfteverhältnisse aus dem Blick. Denn unsere moderne Gesellschaft zerfällt in konkurrierende Stämme, die sich...

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...

The Zad and NoTAV

Vivid account and reflection on two struggles that are at the heart of the contestation of neoliberal technocracy and the state At a time of ever more accelerated and expanded development of natural and agricultural territory, in the aim of making targeted areas more profitable and controllable, there are inhabitants who oppose these projects with a firm, unwavering NO. This is the case in Notre-Dame-des-Landes in western France and in the Italian Susa Valley, where decades-long battles have...

The World According to Julius Malema

In late 2009, well-known journalists Max du Preez and Mandy Rossouw compiled a range of around 80 famous and infamous sayings by Julius Malema, then-leader of the ANC Youth League. What did he have to say back then about Zille, Zuma, women (all three still some of his favourite subjects), not to mention Nando’s? And what did his words then reveal about the new generation of the ANC and where the government was heading? In a foreword to the book, du Preez and Rossouw explore and examine the...

The War Comes Home

The War Comes Home is the first book to systematically document the U.S. government's neglect of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Aaron Glantz, who reported extensively from Iraq during the first three years of this war and has been reporting on the plight of veterans ever since, levels a devastating indictment against the Bush administration for its bald neglect of soldiers and its disingenuous reneging on their benefits. Glantz interviewed more than one hundred recent war...

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.<br /><br />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 /><br...

The Ungovernable Society

The Ungovernable Society

Rebellion was in the air. Workers were on strike, students were demonstrating on campuses, discipline was breaking down. No relation of domination was left untouched – the relation between the sexes, the racial order, the hierarchies of class, relationships in families, workplaces and colleges. The upheavals of the late 1960s and early 1970s quickly spread through all sectors of social and economic life, threatening to make society ungovernable in the eyes of ruling elites. This crisis was also...

The Social Contract (Translated by G. D. H. Cole with an Introduction by Edward L. Walter)

Originally published in 1762, “The Social Contract” is Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s treatise on how to best organize politics in the face of commercial society. Rousseau writes, “Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains.” This statement exemplifies the main dilemma of government, that despite mankind having an inherent natural right to freedom, modern, especially autocratic, governments had gone too far in restricting it. The question which Rousseau is asking within this work is whether or...

The SAGE Handbook of European Foreign Policy

During the last two decades the study of European foreign policy has experienced remarkable growth, presumably reflecting a more significant international role of the European Union. The Union has significantly expanded its policy portfolio and though empty symbolic politics still exists, the Union’s international relations have become more substantial and its foreign policy more focused. European foreign policy has become a dynamic policy area, being adapted to changing challenges and...

The Russians Are Coming, Again

Karl Marx famously wrote in The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon that history repeats itself, “first as tragedy, then as farce.” The Cold War waged between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945 until the latter's dissolution in 1991 was a great tragedy, resulting in millions of civilian deaths in proxy wars, and a destructive arms race that diverted money from social spending and nearly led to nuclear annihilation. The New Cold War between the United States...
