How Democracy Survives explores how liberal democracy can better adapt to the planetary challenges of our time by evolving beyond the Westphalian paradigm of the nation state.The authors bring perspectives from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America, their chapters engaging with the concept of transnational democracy by tracing its development in the past, assessing its performance in the present, and considering its potential for survival in this century and beyond. Coming from a wide array of intellectual disciplines and policymaking backgrounds, the authors share a common conviction that our global institutions-both governments and international organizations-must become more resilient, transparent, and democratically accountable in order to address the cascading political, economic, and social crises of this new epoch, such as climate change, mass migration, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and resurgent authoritarianism.This book will be relevant for courses in international relations and political science, environmental politics, and the preservation of democracy and federalism around the world.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

Tag med på en rejse fra Sovjetimperiets sidste dage, over det nye Ruslands fødsel, til den demokratiske genrejsning i 1990’erne. Dengang var landet omgærdet af så mange store forhåbninger, som dog hurtigt blev erstattet af en militaristisk og imperialistisk dagsorden, der udmøntede sig i en hævnlyst, som med årene er blevet selve drivkraften for Vladimir Putin.Med fokus på en broget skare af personligheder går bogen bag kulisserne i det politiske liv i Moskva, i Ruslands store virksomheder, i militæret og den hemmelige tjeneste, blandt mediefolk og spindoktorer.  Centralt står spørgsmålet: Hvordan kunne det ske? Hvordan kunne et land, der med flyvende faner bevægede sig væk fra statsdiktat og stormagtsekspansionisme, havne i en situation, der på mange punkter er værre og mere udsigtsløs end dengang? Mange faktorer spiller ind – historiske, socialpsykologiske, kommercielle, menneskelige. Det er denne komplekse, historiske udvikling bogen beskriver i en række skæbnefortællinger, der til sammen udgør den store historie om det moderne Ruslands vej mod katastrofen.

Lauri Elias Simojoki (1899-1940) was a Finnish soldier, parliamentarian, Lutheran priest, far right organizer, and leader of an attempted coup in Estonia. As a young man, he served in the Finnish War of Independence in 1918 and fought as a guerrilla fighter in Karelia in 1919. Later, he studied theology at the University of Helsinki and was an essential part of the formation of the youth nationalist organization the Academic Karelia Society. Ordained as a Lutheran minister in 1925, in 1933 he joined the Finnish parliament and took command of the Sinimustat, the youth wing of the Patriotic People's Movement, inspired by and modeled on similar movements in Germany and Italy. Although the Sinimustat was disbanded a mere three years later due to its involvement in an attempted coup in Estonia, Simojoki remained a Member of Parliament and went on to found the Finnish Mustapaidat (Blackshirts) in 1937. He enlisted as a military chaplain at the outbreak of the Winter War and lost his life to Soviet gunfire while performing a mercy killing to a wounded horse on the battlefield. The Burning Bush (Palava Pensas) is a selection of Simojoki's patriotic and political speeches compiled by his comrade Vilho Helanen in 1942. It is in these speeches that Simojoki's commitment to, and love for, Greater Finland stands out above all else. It is for Greater Finland that Simojoki worked all his life, the grand dream for which in the end he sacrificed his life. These speeches, translated by Jarno Alander, are now being made available in English for the first time by Antelope Hill Publishing.
