Reflections on Anti-Semitism

Eric Hazan

Reflections on Anti-Semitism

Dissecting how facile accusations of “anti-Semitism” are used to stifle dissent. Since the inception of the “War on Terror”, Israel has become increasingly important to Western imperial strategy and ever more aggressive in its policies towards the Palestinians. A key ideological weapon in this development is the cynical and unjustified accusation of ‘anti-Semitism’ to silence protest and dissent.For historical reasons, this tactic has been deployed most forcefully in France, and in the first of...

Niccolo Machiavelli

The Prince (Translated by Ninian Hill Thomson with an Introduction by Henry Cust)

Originally published in 1532, nearly five years after the author’s death, “The Prince” is a pioneering work of modern political philosophy for which Niccolo Machiavelli is best remembered. Intended to be a treatise on ruling for princes, “The Prince” is one of the world’s first and most impactful works of political science. In the book Machiavelli offers many bits of practical advice on how to rule and even though the book was written in the early 16th century the ideas are still very relevant...

Featuring essays by scholars working in a variety of subjects from law to psychology, Loyalty presents diverse perspectives on dilemmas posed by potential conflicts between loyalties to specific institutions or professional roles and more universalistic conceptions of moral duty. The volume begins with a philosophical exploration of...

China Goes Green

Judith Shapiro

China Goes Green

What does it mean for the future of the planet when one of the world’s most durable authoritarian governance systems pursues “ecological civilization”? Despite its staggering pollution and colossal appetite for resources, China exemplifies a model of state-led environmentalism which concentrates decisive political, economic, and epistemic power under centralized leadership. On the face of it, China seems to embody hope for a radical new approach to environmental governance. <br...

Power and Loss in South African Journalism

This timely collection of essays analyses the crisis of journalism in contemporary South Africa at a period when the media and their role are frequently at the centre of public debate. The transition to digital news has been messy, random and unpredictable. The spread of news via social media platforms has given rise to political propaganda and fake news. Yet media companies oust experienced journalists in favour of 'content producers'. Against this backdrop, Daniels points...

Markets and States in Tropical Africa

Following independence, most countries in Africa sought to develop, but their governments pursued policies that actually undermined their rural economies. Examining the origins of Africa’s «growth tragedy,» Markets and States in Tropical Africa has for decades shaped the thinking of practitioners and scholars alike. Robert H. Bates’s analysis now faces a challenge, however: the revival of economic growth on the continent. In this edition, Bates provides a new preface and...

Liberty and Property

Liberty and Property

From Machiavelli to Rousseau, reading theorists as responding to the conflicts of their time. The formation of the modern state, the rise of capitalism, the Renaissance and Reformation, the scientific revolution and the Age of Enlightenment have all been attributed to the “early modern” period. Nearly everything about its history remains controversial, but one thing is certain: it left a rich and provocative legacy of political ideas unmatched in Western history. The concepts of liberty,...

Ruling the Void

Chilling account ofthe end of party democracy, by the leading political scientist In the long-established democracies of Western Europe, electoral turnouts are in decline, membership is shrinking in the major parties, and those who remain loyal partisans are sapped of enthusiasm. Peter Mair's new book weighs the impact of these changes, which together show that, after a century of democratic aspiration, electorates are deserting the political arena. Mair examines the alarming parallel...

The Russians Are Coming, Again

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...

My Name Is Jody Williams

Jody Williams

My Name Is Jody Williams

As Eve Ensler says in her inspired foreword to this book, «Jody Williams is many things—a simple girl from Vermont, a sister of a disabled brother, a loving wife, an intense character full of fury and mischief, a great strategist, an excellent organizer, a brave and relentless advocate, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. But to me Jody Williams is, first and foremost, an activist.» From her modest beginnings to becoming the tenth woman—and third American woman—to receive the...

Мировой беспорядок

Мировой беспорядок

Правила, политика и институты, которыми руководствовались страны после Второй мировой войны, в значительной степени исчерпали себя. Избрание Дональда Трампа и неожиданное голосование за «Брексит» сигнализируют о том, что многие в современных демократиях отвергают важные аспекты глобализации, включая границы, открытые для торговли и иммигрантов. Мир меняется, и эти изменения не в пользу США. Мировой беспорядок наступает. Но мир не может быть стабильным или процветающим без Соединенных Штатов,...

Конец конца Земли

Джонатан Франзен

Конец конца Земли

В новом сборнике эссе американский писатель Джонатан Франзен, прекрасно знакомый российскому читателю по романам «Поправки» и «Безгрешность», пишет, в числе прочего, о литературе, которая «побуждает тебя задаваться вопросом, не можешь ли ты быть в чем-то неправ, а то и кругом неправ, и пытаться представить себе, почему кто-то другой может тебя ненавидеть». Какой бы темы Франзен ни касался, он никогда не ориентируется на чужое мнение, непременно ироничен, но всегда готов корректировать свои...

ДНК миллиардера. Естественная история богатых

«Если хотите знать, что Бог думает о деньгах, просто взгляните на тех, кому он их дал», – эту фразу американский журналист Ричард Коннифф поставил эпиграфом своей книги. Для изучения образа жизни, нравов и привычек богатых и сильных мира сего автор посетил самые шикарные места и самых знаменитых людей. Он рассматривает богачей как отдельный подвид homo sapiens с использованием методов социобиологии и генетики, что, по его мнению, оправдано, ведь «состоятельные семьи практикуют...

Female Soldiers in Sierra Leone

The eleven-year civil war in Sierra Leone from 1991 to 2002was incomprehensibly brutal—it is estimated that half of allfemale refugees were raped and many thousands were killed.While the publicity surrounding sexual violence helped tocreate a general picture of women and girls as victims of theconflict, there has been little effort to understand female soldiers’involvement in, and experience of, the conflict. FemaleSoldiers in Sierra Leone draws on interviews with 75...

Where has all this moralizing come from? And what harm has this new level of attack caused to democracy in America?In this compelling and cogent account, Tom De Luca and John Buell chart the rise...

Friends of Alice Wheeldon

Sheila Rowbotham

Friends of Alice Wheeldon

In early 1917, as Britain was bogged down in a war it feared would never end, Alice Wheeldon, her two daughters, and her son were brought to trial and imprisoned for plotting the assassination of Prime Minister Lloyd George, who they believed had betrayed the suffrage movement. In this highly evocative and haunting play, British historian and feminist Sheila Rowbotham illuminates the lives and struggles of those who opposed the war. The Wheeldons’ controversial trial became something...

The Ethics of Liberty

Murray N. Rothbard

The Ethics of Liberty

In recent years, libertarian impulses have increasingly influenced national and economic debates, from welfare reform to efforts to curtail affirmative action. Murray N. Rothbard's classic The Ethics of Liberty stands as one of the most rigorous and philosophically sophisticated expositions of the libertarian political position. What distinguishes Rothbard's book is the manner in which it roots the case for freedom in the concept of natural rights and applies it to a host of...
