"I dag går Venstre og Dansk Folkeparti hånd i hånd i kynisk spekulation i at bekræfte fordomme og bygge modsætninger op. Os mod de andre. Som i andre lande udnyttes angsten for at tabe identitet. Det er trist at overvære, hvordan nogle af Venstres topfolk bruger gammelt grundtvigiansk tankegods som en slags åndelig legitimitet. Det er både uliberalt og usolidarisk. Og jeg ville ønske, at jeg også kunne kalde det udansk. I hvert fald er det ueuropæisk. For vi europæere findes i mange udgaver. Og bor hulter til bulter.

Nicholas Goedert tackles the controversies, litigation, and effects surrounding partisan gerrymandering of Congress. He contends that the appropriate actors to address the fairness of a map are nonpartisan commissions within each state, not the US courts. Goedert illustrates how existing measures and legal standards are too narrow—while they are well-adapted to evaluating maps in swing states in close elections, they fail to properly address states or national electoral environments that favor one party.

La "Trappola di Tucidide" è stata di recente evocata dal presidente Xi Jinping per esortare gli Stati Uniti e la stessa Cina a evitare il tipico confronto, dal prevedibile sbocco violento, che può innescarsi tra una potenza consolidata e una emergente, come accadde fra Sparta e Atene. Ripreso più e più volte da studiosi e policy maker, questo richiamo a dinamiche di un tempo lontanissimo suggerisce che molti ritengano il contesto internazionale attuale, nella sua essenza, non differente da quello di cui Tucidide scriveva.

Galtieri, Lukashenka, and Putin are some of the dictators whose untrammeled personal power has been seen as typical of the dog-eat-dog nature of leadership in authoritarian political systems.

Reagan, Thatcher, Mitterrand, Kohl, Clinton, Blair, Schröder, Berlusconi, Obama, Cameron, Sarkozy, Merkel, Renzi: nelle parabole di questi leader, accomunati dalla pretesa di rappresentare il nuovo e il cambiamento, si può cogliere il ruolo cruciale che gioca la narrazione nei sistemi politici. Attingendo alle scienze sociali, alla psicologia e alle neuroscienze, il libro illustra i meccanismi che rendono efficace lo storytelling per creare emozioni, identificazione e coinvolgimento con il leader narratore.

"Daniel Matamala ingresa, con la lucidez que lo caracteriza, al territorio siempre necesario de la deconstrucción inteligente de las tramas en que se articulan las elites políticas y económicas. Unas tramas que permiten leer un tejido social donde el poder del dinero avanza sobre el poder político para contaminarlo. La reunión de columnas que el libro presenta permite leer cómo operan los privilegios múltiples e incesantes que posibilitan que la ley se retire de las zonas más privilegiadas o trabaje débilmente, o sencillamente no opere." (Diamela Eltit)

Listeners will learn how Kanye West, Candace Owens, and others are forging a new path for freedom thinkers in the struggle over free thought. Ultimately, his ruminations culminate with an analysis of important facts that lead us to the conclusion that President Trump is the best president for the African American community.

That the early United States was (or were) referred to as the New Empire would seem nonsensical or flatly erroneous today on both sides of the Atlantic. In fact, Europeans and Americans alike viewed the United Colonies as a potential empire existing uneasily within an empire, the British Empire. This perspective impacted the crafting of the Continental Congress and the US government, whereas the governments of the member states were viewed as commensurate with the contemporary kingdoms in Europe.

Politicians are consistently voted the least trusted professional group by the UK public. They've recently become embroiled in scandals concerning sexual harassment and expenses. Every year, they introduce new legislation that doesn't do what it sets out to achieve - often with terrible financial and human costs. But, with some notable exceptions, they are decent, hardworking people doing a hugely difficult and demanding job. In this searching examination of our political class, award-winning journalist Isabel Hardman tries to square this circle.

Verden har altid stået foran store udfordringer, men i disse år synes panderynkerne hos magthavere og meningsdannere i Vesten at være dybere end tidligere. Kan vores nationer og institutioner klare presset fra den voldsomme migration, de stigende klimaudfordringer, religionskonflikter og en ustyrlig global økonomi? Per Stig Møller giver i "De fire isbjerge: en fortælling om verdens tilstand" sin analyse af disse fire, ifølge den tidligere udenrigsminister, mest presserende dagsordener.

In his book, Governor Rick Perry of Texas provides a basis for viewing the states of the US as equivalent to the EU's member-states. All of these states are semi-sovereign, as they have all transferred some governmental sovereignty to federal institutions. This implies that the EU and US are commensurate. I subject these inferences to critique in my booklet on American and European federalism.

Keep calm - but do not carry on. There is nothing remotely inevitable about Brexit - except that it will be deeply damaging if it happens. Extricating Britain from Europe will be the greatest challenge this country has faced since the Second World War. And as negotiations with the EU expose the promises of the Brexit campaign to have been hollow, even some Brexit voters now wish to exercise their democratic right to change their mind, seeing that the most pragmatic option is to...stop.

Following his expulsion from school, 17-year-old dreamer Ellis Dau is sent to work with his father. His father is editor of The Chronicle, the last bastion of free speech in their strange, strange land. And it is under threat: from heavy-handed policemen, mysterious revolutionaries, and the resident Russian billionaire. As Ellis navigates his collapsing, blacked-out city - and his feelings for the oligarch's beautiful daughter - he realises that some things are worth fighting for.

My war with the PIGS (Progressive Identity Groups): America has been divided by a disingenuous death cult known as Progressivism and its primary weapon: the Mob. The Progressives use aggressive identity politics to divide and conquer those they seek to rule over. They acquire power by convincing, coercing, or brainwashing individuals into renouncing personal liberty in favor of group rights. Entitlement replaces merit as a path to a better life. The sheeple are taught to seek answers from experts and to scapegoat those who don't adhere to the manufactured consensus.

Capitalists debate Marxists all the time. But all too rarely do motivational speakers, the cheerleaders of Capitalism, debate Marxists. Thus Andrew Bushard created 25 dialogues demonstrating the great differences between Marxists and motivational speakers.

Wachstum und Wohlstand sollen in Deutschland endlich wieder langfristig gesichert werden. Doch wie soll das gehen? Dr. Günter Rommel plädiert in seinem Werk "Zukunftsmodell Deutschland - Was wir von Amerika und Japan lernen können" dafür, umfassende Strukturveränderungen der deutschen Wirtschaft vorzunehmen. Hierbei wird ein historischer Vergleich zwischen Deutschland, den USA und Japan hinzugezogen, und es wird ein Modell entwickelt, das die Stärken der japanischen und der amerikanischen Wirtschaft vereint.

Was kann ein Rätoromane tun, um Europäer zu werden? In seinem neuen, geistreichen und anschaulichen Hörbuch umspielt Iso Camartin dieses Thema auf eine erzählerische und unterhaltsame Art, indem er anhand von Porträts und von Betrachtungen über Orte, Dinge, Wörter und Gebräuche Lebenswelten und Lebenseinstellungen plastisch werden lässt. Ein kluges, lichtes und heiteres Hörbuch über europäische Lebenskunst. Iso Camartin wurde am 24. März 1944 als Sohn rätoromanischsprachiger Eltern in der Schweiz geboren.

Dopo il populismo serve una nuova idea di cittadinanza per salvare le nostre democrazie, un patto sociale che prenda sul serio le domande sollevate dall'onda sovranista ma offra risposte più eque ed efficaci. La grande ondata populista che ha portato al successo di Donald Trump, alla Brexit e al governo Cinque Stelle-Lega si è esaurita: la pandemia ha confermato in modo drammatico i limiti dei populisti al potere e la loro incapacità di mantenere le promesse.

A criticare la costruzione europea, dall'euro alla BCE, dal fiscal compact all'unione bancaria, sono spesso gli stessi che hanno firmato gli accordi a Bruxelles e li hanno poi ratificati nei rispettivi paesi. Fare dell'Europa il capro espiatorio di tutti i mali è però una strategia autolesionista che non solo alimenta i vari populismi, ma espone le forze politiche e i governi che l'adottano all'accusa di essere incapaci di battere i pugni sul tavolo a Bruxelles, di sapere cosa andava fatto e di non averlo fatto.

Based on a review of research literature from sociology, organizational psychology, and behavioral economics, this audiobook develops a theory of consent generation and distinguishes three groups of consent-producing mechanisms: socialization, incentive mechanisms, and participation and interest representation.
