Builds an ethical framework for responding to the urgent crisis of global displacement In this book Phillip Cole calls for a radical review of what international protection looks like and who is entitled to it. The book brings together different issues of forced displacement to provide a systematic overview. It draws attention to groups who are often overlooked when it comes to discussions of international protection, such as the internally displaced, those displaced by climate change, disasters, development infrastructure projects and extreme poverty. The study draws on extensive case studies, such as border practices by European Union states, the United States with regard to its border with Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Cole places the experiences of displaced people at the centre and argues that they should be key political agents in determining policy in this area. Phillip Cole teaches Politics and International Relations at the University of the West of England, Bristol

Explores how public health concerns and political agendas influenced each other in the US over the past century This book offers an insightful discussion of the complex relationship between public health, US democracy and power during the so-called American century. It sheds light on the intricate history of the US public health system, examining how the development of the federal government has shaped its trajectory. By exploring the intertwined roles of politics, race and socio-economic factors, the contributors uncover the challenges and contradictions of public health in the US from the Spanish Flu to Covid-19. They also investigate the connections between public health and America's aspirations as a global power, as well as its domestic implications for social cohesion and institutional legitimacy. The focus on the American century provides a critical historical timeframe for an in-depth understanding of the connections between public health, people and power, on both the domestic and global stages.

Explores the critical encounter between anarchism and law

This volume explores how the recent intra-EU migrations reflect new and more complex patterns of mobility, increasingly uncertain and unstable, involving both natives and naturalised migrants.

This book explores how governments in multi-level states coordinate immigrant integration policies. It sheds light on how the decentralization of immigrant integration to substate regions can lead to conflict or cooperation, and how a variety of factors may shape different approaches to migrants.Immigrant integration is an increasingly important policy area for governments. However, in multi-level states, immigrant integration is rarely the responsibility of the 'central' government. Instead, it is often decentralized to substate regions, which may have formulated their own, unique approaches. The way in which migrants are included into one part of a state may therefore be radically different from the experiences of migrants in another. How do multi-level states deal with potentially diverging approaches? This book examines how governments coordinate on immigrant integration in multi-level states. Four multi-level states form the backbone of the analysis: two of which are federal (Canada and Belgium) and two that are decentralized (Italy and Spain). We find that intergovernmental dynamics on immigrant integration are shaped by a variety of factors ranging from party politics to constitutional power struggles. This analysis contributes not only to our understanding of intergovernmental relations in multi-level systems; it also enhances our knowledge of the myriad ways in which different regions seek to include migrants into their societies, economies and political systems.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Regional and Federal Studies.

"A study of the stalled/non-existent process of legally reckoning with the 1965 state-sponsored genocide in Indonesia"--

We believe that rules and laws are in place to protect us. They are what keep our societies from descending into chaos. Without them, how would we know our right from wrong, live comfortably in our communities and be good neighbours to one another? C.L. Skach feels differently. She always believed in the strength of the law - she spent her career in some of the most fractured, war-torn corners of the world, reading and writing constitutions to help fix society. But as she sat alone in a sandbagged trailer in Baghdad after a rocket attack, she admitted what she'd been denying for years: a good society cannot be imposed from above. It comes from leaning less on formal rules, and more on each other.Skach lays out six ideas, informed by everything from civil wars to civil rights struggles, bystander responsibility to mutual aid in the pandemic, to help us build small societies of our own. These ideas sometimes sound simple: share the vegetables from your garden, spend time on a park bench. But taken together they can amount to real, bottom-up change.How to Be a Citizen is a hopeful handbook for a better world - one we can all help build together.

Hvornår har du sidst oplevet, at demokrati føltes godt?Der var engang, hvor Andreas ikke troede på, at demokrati overhovedet kunne føles godt. Det føltes som en tilskuersport, hvor han stod på sidelinjen uden at kunne overskue, hvordan han selv kunne deltage. Uden tro på, at der var plads til ham og hans engagement.Men demokrati er en deltagersport. Det er ligesom at cykle, svømme eller spille fodbold. Det skal føles med hele kroppen. Og ligesom at dyrke sport, så kan demokrati faktisk føles godt – og ikke bare fordi man vinder eller får sin vilje. Men fordi dét at være i et demokratisk fællesskab fyldt med samhørighed, stolthed, magt og håb kan være noget af det stærkeste, vi kan opleve som mennesker. Alt dette har Andreas oplevet på sin egen krop. Og i denne bog fortæller han om sin egen dannelsesrejse – fra at være demokratisk nybegynder, der egentlig allerede havde givet op, til at blive sådan én, der skriver en bog om som sine demokratiske erfaringer.Bogen er en samling personlige essays, der fortæller om seks forskellige fællesskaber og udforsker forskellige sider af demokratiets følelsesliv – fra at kæmpe med at finde sin egen stemme og føle sig berettiget til at bruge den, til at overvinde følelsen af magtesløshed ved at finde sammen med andre og skabe forandring.Andreas Lloyd har gennem de sidste 15 år været en drivkraft i en række nyskabende danske borgerinitiativer, så som Københavns Fødevarefællesskab, Borgerlyst, Samtalesaloner, Medborgerne og den danske klimabevægelse.

Cassidy Hutchinson, aide to the Trump White House, was torn between the right thing to do and pressure from the most powerful men in the world. Because her desk was just steps from President Trump's Oval Office, 26 year old Cassidy knew a lot-maybe too much. When the January 6 Committee summoned her, she was afraid, knowing all too well what Trumpworld did to anyone they perceived as disloyal.Ms. Slate selects crucial text from the gripping transcript that was released. She stays true to the facts in the testimony.Mirror Test tells how Cassidy went from a loyal aide to a whistleblower. If she was ever going to look at herself in the mirror, Cassidy would have to tell the truth.

Watch the PBS companion documentary “A Citizen’s Guide to Preserving Democracy”“An indispensable guide to good citizenship in an era of division and rancor.” —Anne ApplebaumThere is no question that the United States faces dangerous threats from without; the greatest peril to the country, however, comes from within. In The Bill of Obligations, bestselling author Richard Haass argues that, to solve our climate of division and safeguard our democracy, the very idea of citizenship must be revised and expanded. The Bill of Rights is at the center of our Constitution, yet the most intractable conflicts often emerge from cases that, as former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer pointed out, “are not about right versus wrong. They are about right versus right.”There is a way forward: to place obligations on the same footing as rights. The ten obligations that Haass introduces here reenvision what it means to be an American citizen, to commit to our fellow citizens and counter the growing apathy, anger, and violence that threaten us all.Through an expert blend of civics, history, and political analysis, this book illuminates how Americans across the political spectrum can rediscover how to contribute to and reshape this country’s future.

This book offers the first empirical and holistic analysis of the design, implementation and effects of the new naturalisation regimes in the United Kingdom and Germany introduced in the 2000s. Based on a multi-sited state ethnography, it uniquely compares the law on the books, the local administration, and the lived experiences of citizenship tests, courses, and ceremonies from an interdisciplinary social science perspective.The book argues that naturalisation procedures in both countries suggest to migrants to constantly optimise themselves in the state¿s interests toward the subjectivity of the ¿Super Citizen¿ ¿ a political, economic, and cultural asset to the liberal-democratic, capitalist nation-state. The concept of the Super Citizen enables us to highlight and criticise the overburdening expectations toward citizens by application as opposed to citizens by birth. The analysis reveals that the self-presentation of Britain and Germany as liberal and meritocratic politiesis in stark contrast to migrants¿ lived experiences of the naturalisation process.By shedding light on naturalisation policies¿ efficacy, this book is aimed at students and scholars in sociology, politics, law, anthropology, and education, as well as policy-makers in the areas of citizenship and migration.
