The Politics of Silence PDF By:Loïs Desaine Published on 2018-08-16 by Institut de recherche sur l’Asie du Sud-Est contemporaine The political regime in Myanmar used to be a seemingly monopolistic structure where power was exclusively in the Army’s hands. A marginal external influence was exercised by businessmen with close ties to the regime while the country is also exposed to the influence of powerful regional states. Since the General Elections in November 2010, the establishment of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar with a parliamentary democracy (which remains under some control of the Army, but with notable civilian representation) is the most noticeable change in Myanmar politics for decades as it may shift the state away from the Army monopoly, although concrete changes remain to be demonstrated.

Political Turbulence PDF By:Helen Margetts,Peter John,Scott Hale,Taha Yasseri Published on 2015-11-24 by Princeton University Press As people spend increasing proportions of their daily lives using social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, they are being invited to support myriad political causes by sharing, liking, endorsing, or downloading. Chain reactions caused by these tiny acts of participation form a growing part of collective action today, from neighborhood campaigns to global political movements. Political Turbulence reveals that, in fact, most attempts at collective action online do not succeed, but some give rise to huge mobilizations—even revolutions. Drawing on large-scale data generated from the Internet and real-world events, this book shows how mobilizations that succeed are unpredictable, unstable, and often unsustainable. To better understand this unruly new force in the political world, the authors use experiments that test how social media influence citizens decid...

The Idea of Civil Society PDF By:Adam B. Seligman Published on 1995 by Princeton University Press As the countries of East-Central Europe struggle to create liberal democracy and the United States and other Western nations attempt to rediscover their own tarnished civil institutions, Adam Seligman identifies the neglect of the idea of |civil society| as a central concern common to both cultures today. Two centuries after its origins in the Enlightenment, the idea of civil society is being revived to provide an answer to the question of how individuals can pursue their own interests while preserving the greater good of society and, similarly, how society can advance the interests of the individuals who comprise it. However, as Seligman shows, the erosion of the very moral beliefs and philosophical assumptions upon which the idea of civil society was founded makes its revival much more difficult than is generally recognized.As the countries of East-Central Europe struggle to create liber...

Cosmopolitanism and the National State PDF By:Friedrich Meinecke Published on 2015-03-08 by Princeton University Press With this translation, one of the classics of German historical literature becomes available in English. In Weltburgertum und Nationalstaat the eminent historian Friedrich Meinecke attempted to trace the transition in Germany from eighteenth-century cosmopolitanism to nineteenth-century nationalism, and to clarify the genetic history of the German nation through an analysis of the relationship between Prussia and Germany. The insights and arguments that Meinecke developed in this work have influenced two generations of historians, as has his superb methodology, which integrated the two areas of ideas and politics with rare effectiveness. Originally published in 1970. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Nigéria PDF By:Amzat Boukari-Yabara Published on 2013-10-03 by De Boeck Superieur Fruit d'une uniformisation artificielle de la colonisation britannique, état indépendant depuis 1960, le Nigéria occupe une position géostratégique en Afrique. Pays le plus peuplé du continent, riche en pétrole et gaz naturel mais à l'économie fragile, force militaire importante mais touché par le terrorisme, le Nigéria est en proie aux luttes intestines et à l'instabilité politique, notamment à cause de la secte fondamentaliste Boko Haram (littéralement | l'éducation occidentale est un péché |) qui conteste la légitimité de l'Etat fédéral. Pays de contrastes, également au niveau de la répartition des ressources, le Nigéria pourrait pourtant devenir la première économie du continent africain et un interlocuteur international important s'il arrive à relever un défi : aménager son territoire afin de garantir le bien-être de l'ensemble des populations.

L'Horreur politique PDF By:Olivier Babeau Published on 2017-03-09T00:00:00+01:00 by Manitoba Les Belles Lettres Pourquoi est-il si facile d’augmenter les dépenses de l’État mais si difficile de les baisser ? Pour quelles raisons le domaine de l’intervention publique s’étend-il sans cesse ? Dans quelle mesure les responsables politiques sont-ils influencés par les groupes de pression et déterminés par des objectifs à court terme ? L’administration est-elle au service des populations ou d’elle-même ? Autant de questions que se posent la plupart des citoyens, frappés par l’inaptitude de l’État à se réformer en même temps que par son incapacité à améliorer la situation économique. Confrontés à un alourdissement constant des prélèvements qui ne parviennent ni à juguler les déficits et l’endettement, ni à enrayer le chômage, ni enfin à rétablir la croissance, les Français soupçonnent confusément l’existence d’un lien entre cette impuissance et les dérives les plus scandaleuses des pouvoi...

The Third Industrial Revolution PDF By:Jeremy Rifkin Published on 2011-10-04 by St. Martin's Press The Industrial Revolution, powered by oil and other fossil fuels, is spiraling into a dangerous endgame. The price of gas and food are climbing, unemployment remains high, the housing market has tanked, consumer and government debt is soaring, and the recovery is slowing. Facing the prospect of a second collapse of the global economy, humanity is desperate for a sustainable economic game plan to take us into the future. Here, Jeremy Rifkin explores how Internet technology and renewable energy are merging to create a powerful |Third Industrial Revolution.| He asks us to imagine hundreds of millions of people producing their own green energy in their homes, offices, and factories, and sharing it with each other in an |energy internet,| just like we now create and share information online. Rifkin describes how the five-pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution will create thousands of b...

Disordered World PDF By:Amin Maalouf Published on 2011-10-04 by Bloomsbury Publishing USA Born into a Christian minority in Lebanon and since settled in France, acclaimed writer Amin Maalouf claims a unique position in global conversation. His first book, The Crusades through Arab Eyes, was a critical and commercial success and remains in print after 20 years. In Disordered World, Maalouf combines his command of history with a critical perspective on contemporary culture East and West-joining them with a fierce moral clarity and a fluid, propulsive style. In this |disordered world| of ours, Maalouf argues, the human race faces any number of urgent threats: climate change, global financial crisis, humanitarian disasters. Yet these threats have not united us. In fact, tensions are rising between the Arab world and the West. This is not, Maalouf maintains, a |clash of civilizations.| We lack ideological debate because there seems to be no common ground on which to start discussion. Rather...

Economic Life in the Modern Age PDF By:Werner Sombart Published on 2018-02-06 by Routledge Werner Sombart (1863-1941) may well have been the most famous and controversial social scientist in Germany during the early twentieth century. Highly influential, his work and reputation have been indelibly tainted by his embrace of National Socialism in the last decade of his life. Although Sombart left an enormous opus spanning disciplinary boundaries, intellectual reaction to his work inside and outside of Germany is divided and ambivalent. Sombart consistently responded to the social and political developments that have shaped the twentieth century. Economic Life in the Modern Age provides a representative sampling of those portions of Sombart's work that have stood the test of time.The volume opens with a substantial introduction reviewing Sombart's life and career, the evolution of his major intellectual concerns, his relation to Marx and Weber, and his political affiliation with t...

Out and Running PDF By:Donald P. Haider-Markel Published on 2010-08-11 by Georgetown University Press Out and Running is the first systematic analysis of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) political representation that explores the dynamics of state legislative campaigns and the influence of lesbian and gay legislators in the state policymaking process. By examining state legislative elections from 1992 to 2006 and state policymaking from 1992 to 2009, Donald Haider-Markel suggests that the LGBT community can overcome hurdles and win elections; and, once in office, these officials can play a critical role in the policy representation of the community. However, he also discovers that there are limits to where and when LGBT candidates can run for office and that, while their presence in office often enhances policy representation, it can also create backlash. But even with some of these negative consequences, Out and Running provides compelling evidence that gays and lesbians...
