Populism's Power: Radical Grassroots Democracy in America
ISBN: 9780190277635 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Uprisings such as the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street signal a resurgence of populist politics in America, pitting the people against the establishment in a struggle over control of democracy. In the wake of its conservative capture during the Nixon and Reagan eras, and given its increasing ubiquity as a mainstream buzzword of politicians and pundits, democratic theorists and activists have been eager to abandon populism to right-wing demagogues and mega-media spin-doctors. Decades of liberal scholarship have reinforced this shift, turning the term "populism" into a pejorative in academic...

After Occupy: Economic Democracy for the 21st Century
ISBN: 9780190275006 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These days, it is easy to be cynical about democracy. Even though there are more democratic societies now (119 and counting) than ever before, skeptics can point to low turnouts in national elections, the degree to which money corrupts the process, and the difficulties of mass participation in complex systems as just a few reasons why the system is flawed. The Occupy movement in 2011 proved that there is an emphatic dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, particularly with the economy, but, ultimately, it failed to produce any coherent vision for social change. So what should...

The Survival Agenda of the Greatest Generation: Lost in the Crush of the Information Age
ISBN: 9781514123409 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Survival Agenda of the Greatest Generation is an important frame of reference for a generation that must face the environmental and thermonuclear threats of the twenty-first century. The heroic leaders who saved capitalism and democracy in the Great Depression, and helped win World War II, also left us an agenda for survival in the twenty-first century; but it has washed away in the shallow tides of the information age. President Kennedy's brave survival perspective is centrally featured amidst the bold proposals of a wide pantheon of scientists and statesmen from the Greatest...

From the Arab uprisings to the indignados movement and the global Occupy sit-ins, recent protests and civil unrest have sparked new debates about political organisation, media representation and the nature of contemporary citizenship.

Muted Modernists: The Struggle Over Divine Politics in Saudi Arabia
ISBN: 9780190496029 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Analysis of both official and opposition Saudi divine politics is often monolithic, conjuring images of conservatism, radicalism, misogyny and resistance to democracy. Madawi Al-Rasheed challenges this stereotype as she examines a long tradition of engaging with modernism that gathered momentum with the Arab uprisings and incurred the wrath of both the regime and its Wahhabi supporters. With this nascent modernism, constructions of new divine politics, anchored in a rigorous reinterpretation of foundational Islamic texts and civil society activism are emerging in a context where authoritarian...

Read Online at connectedyouth.nyupress.org There is a widespread perception that the foundations of American democracy are dysfunctional, public trust in core institutions is eroding, and little is likely to emerge from traditional politics that will shift those conditions. Youth are often seen as emblematic of this crisis--frequently represented as uninterested in political life, ill-informed about current-affairs, and unwilling to register and vote.

Jazzman Chronicles Volumes I-X: Commentaries on American Politics 2000-2014
ISBN: 9780692514061 / Angielski / Miękka / 526 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With the Supreme Court decision that overturned an election and handed George W. Bush the presidency, Jack Random adjusted his focus from fiction to political commentaries. The first volume of the Jazzman Chronicles was an indictment of the two-party system, a system designed to serve the elite by negating the power of the people. It is a system paid for and controlled by corporate interests. It offers the appearance of choice but when both parties collect contributions from the same corrupt well, what choice do we really have? In the succeeding years, American democracy has become even more...

World Democracy: through a global referendum
ISBN: 9781519583352 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For those who want democracy established worldwide, it would be a fairly simple matter to conduct a global referendum, using the Internet. The Internet-based referendum has already begun (see voteworldparliament.org), but eventually, the governments of all nations should pass a UN resolution, take over the voting process and conduct the global referendum in segments in tandem with national elections and using official voters' lists (so that there is little or no voter fraud). A strong mandate from such a world vote would legally and politically compel the creation of a directly-elected,...
