Politiske styreformer: totalitarisme og diktatur

Der Sturz Napoleons jahrt sich 2014 zum zweihundertsten Mal; und ebenso die Restauration der franzosischen Monarchie unter den Bourbonen. Was bedeutet aber uberhaupt "e;Restauration"e;? Volker Sellin lost den Begriff aus der Fixierung auf das Epochenjahr 1814 und interpretiert Restauration ubergreifend als eine Politik der Konsolidierung der von der Revolution bedrohten Monarchien durch den Erlass von Verfassungen. Europaisch vergleichend von Spanien bis Russland entwirft er auf dieser Grundlage eine uberraschende Geschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts.

"Why do some autocracies remain stable while others break down? Based on an inventory of what we know about non-democracies in modern political science, the book carves out two distinct stabilizing logics. The Two Logics of Autocratic Rule proposes an innovative approach to better understand the inner workings of autocracies"--

'One of the greatest, most radical public thinkers of our time' ARUNDHATI ROY In these incisive interviews, activist Chomsky addresses the urgent questions of this tumultuous time, speaking to the deterioration of democracy in the United States and rising tensions globally.He examines the crumbling of the social fabric and the fractures of the Biden era, including the halting steps toward a Green New Deal, the illegitimate authority of the Supreme Court, in particular its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and the ongoing fallout from COVID-19. Chomsky also untangles the roots of the War in Ukraine, the diplomatic tensions among the United States, China, and Russia, and considers the need for climate action on an international scale.Illegitimate Authority exposes those who wield power in their own self-interest and plots framework for how we can stand together and fight against injustice.'The West's most prominent critic of US imperialism . . . the closest thing in the English-speaking world to an intellectual superstar' Guardian'Will there ever again be a public intellectual who commands the attention of so many across the planet?'

WINNER OF THE MARK LYNTON HISTORY PRIZE • A prize-winning historian’s “effervescent” (The New Yorker) account of a close-knit band of wildly famous American reporters who, in the run-up to World War II, took on dictators and rewrote the rules of modern journalism“High-speed, four-lane storytelling . . . Cohen’s all-action narrative bursts with colour and incident.”—Financial Times NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • WINNER OF THE GOLDSMITH BOOK PRIZE AND THE RALPH WALDO EMERSON AWARD • FINALIST FOR THE PROSE AWARDONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, NPR, BookPage, BooklistThey were an astonishing group: glamorous, gutsy, and irreverent to the bone. As cub reporters in the 1920s, they roamed across a war-ravaged world, sometimes perched atop mules on wooden saddles, sometimes gliding through countries in the splendor of a first-class sleeper car. While empires collapsed and fledgling democracies faltered, they chased deposed empresses, international financiers, and Balkan gun-runners, and then knocked back doubles late into the night. Last Call at the Hotel Imperial is the extraordinary story of John Gunther, H. R. Knickerbocker, Vincent Sheean, and Dorothy Thompson. In those tumultuous years, they landed exclusive interviews with Hitler and Mussolini, Nehru and Gandhi, and helped shape what Americans knew about the world. Alongside these backstage glimpses into the halls of power, they left another equally incredible set of records. Living in the heady afterglow of Freud, they subjected themselves to frank, critical scrutiny and argued about love, war, sex, death, and everything in between.Plunged into successive global crises, Gunther, Knickerbocker, Sheean, and Thompson could no longer separate themselves from the turmoil that surrounded them. To tell that story, they broke long-standing taboos. From their circle came not just the first modern account of illness in Gunther’s Death Be Not Proud—a memoir about his son’s death from cancer—but the first no-holds-barred chronicle of a marriage: Sheean’s Dorothy and Red, about Thompson’s fractious relationship with Sinclair Lewis. Told with the immediacy of a conversation overheard, this revelatory book captures how the global upheavals of the twentieth century felt up close.

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.

The fascinating story behind Italy's lurch towards fascism

The New York Times bestselling author of The Benedict Option draws on the wisdom of Christian survivors of Soviet persecution to warn American Christians of approaching dangers.For years, émigrés from the former Soviet bloc have been telling Rod Dreher they see telltale signs of "soft" totalitarianism cropping up in America--something more Brave New World than Nineteen Eighty-Four. Identity politics are beginning to encroach on every aspect of life. Civil liberties are increasingly seen as a threat to "safety". Progressives marginalize conservative, traditional Christians, and other dissenters. Technology and consumerism hasten the possibility of a corporate surveillance state. And the pandemic, having put millions out of work, leaves our country especially vulnerable to demagogic manipulation.In Live Not By Lies, Dreher amplifies the alarm sounded by the brave men and women who fought totalitarianism. He explains how the totalitarianism facing us today is based less on overt violence and more on psychological manipulation. He tells the stories of modern-day dissidents--clergy, laity, martyrs, and confessors from the Soviet Union and the captive nations of Europe--who offer practical advice for how to identify and resist totalitarianism in our time. Following the model offered by a prophetic World War II-era pastor who prepared believers in his Eastern European to endure the coming of communism, Live Not By Lies teaches American Christians a method for resistance:  •  SEE: Acknowledge the reality of the situation.  •  JUDGE: Assess reality in the light of what we as Christians know to be true.  •  ACT: Take action to protect truth.Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said that one of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming totalitarianism can't happen in their country. Many American Christians are making that mistake today, sleepwalking through the erosion of our freedoms. Live Not By Lies will wake them and equip them for the long resistance.

In describing the acts of modern American Progressives, observers increasingly use terms like "delusional," "crazy," or "deranged." What is it about Progressivism that invites such labels? Why are Progressives, for example, determined to teach kids that America is a racist country? Why do they demand "safe spaces" from speech that they say scares them or causes them emotional distress? Why do they loudly proclaim their "guilt" without ever having injured or caused harm to anyone? Why do many Progressives resort to bullying, cancelling, doxing, or assaulting those who won't submit to their ideology? Answering these questions requires a deep look at human emotion and the deep emotional needs of the American Progressive - psychological needs that make Socialism, Collectivism and Fascism strongly appealing doctrines. Understanding that psychology is critical to understanding the movement itself and how to prevent it from propelling the Nation into social malaise and suicide. Marc D.

Inclus le dernier Manifeste de José Antonio Primo de Rivera, écrit la veille du Soulèvement national ainsi que son Testament.Ce document est un recueil exclusif et rare de toutes les citations et réflexions du leader phalangiste espagnol José Antonio Primo de Rivera. Pensée méconnue car confondue à tort avec l'idéologie franquiste. Il affirme ici la réalité suprême et particulière de l'Espagne, se traduisant à travers une volonté impériale et le projet d'un État national-syndicaliste qui organisera corporativement la société espagnole tout en répudiant le système capitaliste mais également le marxisme. Il incorpore le sens catholique au coeur de sa pensée et le met au coeur de la reconstruction nationale. Cet ouvrage s'avère très intéressant pour appréhender cette pensée originale nationale-cléricale, tellement spécifique qu'elle ne peut se qualifier que par son propre nom: le phalangisme.

One of Financial Times' Summer Books of 2020An explosive and unprecedented inside look at Steve Bannon's entourage of global powerbrokers and the hidden alliances shaping today's geopolitical upheaval. In 2015, Bloomberg News named Steve Bannon ?the most dangerous political operative in America.? Since then, he has grown exponentially more powerful?and not only in the United States. In this groundbreaking and urgent account, award-winning scholar of the radical right Benjamin Teitelbaum takes readers behind-the-scenes of Bannon's global campaign against modernity. Inspired by a radical twentieth-century ideology called Traditionalism, Bannon and a small group of right-wing powerbrokers are planning new political mobilizations on a global scale?discussed and debated in secret meetings organized by Bannon in hotel suites and private apartments in DC, Europe and South America. Their goal? To upend the world order and reorganize geopolitics on the basis of archaic values rather than modern ideals of democracy, freedom, social progress, and human rights. Their strenuous efforts are already producing results, from the fortification of borders throughout the world and the targeting of immigrants, to the undermining of the European Union and United States governments, and the expansion of Russian influence. Drawing from exclusive interviews with Bannon's hidden network of far-right thinkers, years of academic research into the radical right, and with unprecedented access to the esoteric salons where they meet, Teitelbaum exposes their considerable impact on the world and their radical vision for the future.
