Politisk korruption

Throughout history Leftist ideas have often championed noble ideals like liberty, equality, and fraternity. Yet, a closer look reveals that these seemingly enlightened concepts have been accompanied by tyranny, oppression, and even genocide. This book critically examines the core beliefs of the Leftist intelligentsia, focusing on the works of Antonio Gramsci and Norberto Bobbio. It unveils the hidden pretexts for political violence and terrorism concealed behind the moderate façade of Leftist discourse.This work delves into three interconnected hypotheses:a. Leftist tendencies contain intrinsic distortions that have fuelled political violence for centuries.b. Political violence is, to some extent, rooted in the epistemological foundations of Leftist ideologies.c. The evolution of Leftist ideology is often mirrored by the evolution of mechanisms for political violence. The research also explores the subjectivization of political violence, the global rise of terrorism, and the surge of anti-American and anti-Western ideologies.

The Tories’ ancient instinct for survival has vanished, along with any concern for the public good, and Bloody Panico is the prevailing mood

The explosive inside story of the October Surprise conspiracy, a stunning act of treason that changed American history. New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger reveals his thirty-year investigation into the secret collusion between Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign and Iran, raising urgent questions about what happens when foreign meddling in our elections goes unpunished and what gets remembered when the political price for treason is victory. It was a tinderbox of an accusation. In April 1991, the New York Times ran an op-ed alleging that Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign had conspired with the Iranian government to delay the release of 52 American hostages until after the 1980 election. The Iranian hostage crisis was President Jimmy Carter's largest political vulnerability, and his lack of success freeing them ultimately sealed his fate at the ballot box. In return for keeping Americans in captivity until Reagan assumed the oath of office, the Republicans had secretly funneled arms to Iran. Treasonous and illegal, the operation--planned and executed by Reagan's campaign manager Bill Casey--amounted to a shadow foreign policy run by private citizens that ensured Reagan's victory.Investigative journalist Craig Unger was one of the first reporters covering the October Surprise--initially for Esquire and then Newsweek--and while attempting to unravel the mystery, he was fired, sued, and ostracized by the Washington press corps, as a counter narrative took hold: The October Surprise was a hoax. Though Unger later recovered his name and became a bestselling author on Republican abuses of power, the October Surprise remained his white whale, the project he--as well as legendary investigative journalist, the late Robert Parry--worked on late at night and between assignments.In Den of Spies, Unger reveals the definitive story of the October Surprise, going inside his three-decade reporting odyssey, along with Parry's never-before-seen archives, and sharing startling truths about what really happened in 1980. The result is a real-life political thriller filled with double agents, CIA operatives, slippery politicians, KGB documents, wealthy Republicans, and dogged journalists. A timely and provocative history that presages our Trump-era political scandals, Den of Spies demonstrates the stakes of allowing the politics of the moment to obscure the writing of our history.

Cambodia today is a predominantly agrarian, lower-middle-income developing country that has only relatively recently joined the group of potentially high-growth Asian economies. It has followed a complex and contradictory path of modernization from French protectorate to independence and joining the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), repeatedly changing its political regime and social system. The author examines the characteristic features of its development, showing the role of technological progress in it. The theoretical framework of the study covers the key tenets of development economics and economic growth theory. For econometric analysis we used, first of all, a general growth model that takes into account not only physical and human capital, but also time as an event space of creative economic activity. It makes it possible to compare the total factor efficiency with the world level. In addition to considering the macro-level development of Cambodia's economy, the author for the first time attempted to model the growth of its manufacturing industry on the basis of available statistical data.

In the realm of Social Science, particularly within Political Science, many students opt for the political economy framework as their primary analytical tool. However, outcomes frequently reveal a lack of understanding of this approach. Recognizing this knowledge gap, Dr. Benjamin B. Diri penned a foundational guide to political economy.

The author meticulously demystifies political economy concepts, presenting them in a logical sequence, ensuring even newcomers can grasp and apply them effectively, bridging the existing knowledge gap.

With a foreword by Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Peace Prize winner 'A must-read for anyone concerned with human rights in Iran. A gripping, moving and utterly shocking account.' Kylie Moore-Gilbert New introductions written by Shannon Woodcock and Nayereh Tohidi Extended solitary confinement has been condemned as a severe violation of human rights. Yet it is still widely used in Iranian prisons. In White Torture, thirteen women, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, share their experiences of imprisonment: harassment and beatings by guards, total blindfolding and denial of medical treatment. Angry interrogators threaten their families and lie about their whereabouts. One prisoner is even told she is dead. None of the women have committed crimes they are prisoners of conscience or held hostage as bargaining chips. Through psychological torture, the Iranian state hopes to remake their souls. These interviews, carried out while each woman was in prison or facing charges, are astounding documents of resistance and integrity. White Torture unveils the rot at the heart of the Iranian legal system and calls on us to act for change.

This volume is a collection of papers written over the course of forty years. It examines political attitudes, patterns of political behavior, and institutional framework of transition to democracy in Poland. Its contents have been shaped by and provide commentary on the often-dramatic political developments in Poland: the emergence of the massive liberation movement ¿Solidarity¿ in 1980¿81; the dissent against the communist regime in the 1980s; the struggles to pave the roads toward consolidated democracy in the 1990s; and the problems with adaptation to European liberal values in the 21st century that led to democratic backsliding. In conclusion, it presents the cultural and structural background of the cleavage between the proponents of open society and its enemies.

Au départ, l'ancien président Donald Trump a tenté de promouvoir le principe "All Lives Matter" et de rassembler le pays, mais n'a pas eu cet honneur. En fait, ce sont les démocrates qui ont été les premiers partisans du « All Lives Matter ». Mais en ce qui concerne Trump, les médias ont continué à le vilipender pour sa position « All Lives Matter », même après qu'il ait publiquement désavoué l'alt-right et David Duke à de nombreuses reprises. Mais comme ils se sont laissés aller dans un terrier de lapin, pensant que tout le monde oublierait qu'ils prônaient le séparatisme et l'ouverture des frontières, les démocrates doivent désormais gérer ces deux visions sans s'aliéner leurs politiques base. Il est important de noter qu'un pays divisé n'est pas viable dans un pays capitaliste où les gens doivent rivaliser les uns avec les autres pour les emplois et les ressources. Être divisé selon des critères raciaux ne fait qu'alimenter le feu. Les deux ne se mélangent pas. C'est "La nouvelle normalité que notre volonté d'aller à l'extrême nous a apporté. Le pays doit maintenant y faire face. Il n'y a pas de retour en arrière à une époque où les interactions négatives et positives n'attiraient pas la connotation raciste extrême qu'elles ont aujourd'hui. . On peut croire que lorsqu'ils sortent et que leur journée est gênée par quelqu'un qui ne représente pas leur origine raciale et culturelle, tous - de droite ou de gauche - se demanderont si la race a joué ou non un rôle dans cette situation. Voici la leçon. Ne sabotez jamais votre opposition politique en détruisant le pays, tout cela dans le seul but de pointer du doigt les responsables. Parce que, si vous arrivez au pouvoir, vous vous retrouverez avec la tâche impossible d'essayer de convaincre le public que vous ne défendez pas vraiment les politiques destructrices que vous avez propagées juste avant votre ascension. Aujourd'hui, les démocrates portent le sac du séparatisme racial, de l'ouverture des frontières et de la criminalisation de l'opposition politique, essayant de trouver un moyen de revenir sur tout cela. Mais c'est triste à dire, qu'ils soient désormais coincés avec ça. L'extrême gauche a fustigé les idées de « toutes les vies comptent » et de « sécurisation des frontières » lorsque Trump était au pouvoir, et maintenant qu'ils sont au pouvoir, ils se retrouvent avec ces idées bizarres, que leurs partisans attendent désormais d'eux. défendre. Sans oublier que les démocrates sont maintenant pro-guerre, ce qui est un autre terrier dans lequel ils sont tombés à cause du syndrome de dérangement de Trump, croyant que Trump était pro-russe/pro-négociation et parce qu'ils ne soutiennent pas Trump, alors ils doivent chercher à être anti-russes et anti-négociations pour se distancier de Trump.

This paper analyzes the socioeconomic characteristics of the Baudó region, the causes and actors that have hindered the region's productivity and facilitated the increase in the cultivation of illicit crops, as well as the role played by public entities and social organizations in the development of its inhabitants. It describes how development plans are constructed from an ethnic territorial approach, public policy strategies in the area of agricultural development, as mechanisms of social rights for the closing of gaps and provision of goods of social interest for social inclusion, economic growth through production, commercialization, competitiveness and innovation. Clarity is needed in complementary policies for income generation and productive inclusion, provision of essential public goods for competitiveness and a more appropriate rural institutional framework. Therefore, this research will address the socioeconomic characterization of the region, the causes and actors that have contributed to the reduction of agricultural production and the increase of illicit crops.

Today, a new center of the world economy is emerging in the Asia-Pacific region. Since the middle of the 20th century, the dynamic Asian economies have achieved very remarkable results in overcoming backwardness and created industrial potential that allows them to compete with China, Japan, the EU and the USA on the world market. Among the newly industrializing countries in Asia, the four "small" tigers (South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong) were initially the furthest along the path of catching up with the West. In addition to them, however, another group of advanced countries, called "new tigers", including Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, has emerged. In this group, Malaysia and Thailand have implemented the most successful modernization strategies. The author analyzes the main characteristics of political and economic development of these two countries at the present stage.

The backwardness of almost all African countries have been severally explained away by Western intellectuals as the result of lack of capacity for organizing productive societies that have what it took to conquer their environments. They point at hunger, poverty, disease, corruption, ethnic contentions, over dependence on religion, dearth of infrastructure and political instability as some of the characteristics of the present day African countries. These attributes were supposed to be explained by the prevalence of corrupt, visionless leaders on the continent who take so much delight in stowing away their countries¿ resources in foreign bank accounts. For other it is the inability to organise democratic systems that cherish and uphold the Rule of Law. That may be partially true but the truth is that the Neo Colonial arrangement by the Western world is largely responsible for the backwardness of African countries. In this well researched book, the Author uses the Nigerian experience to demonstrate how the British Neo Colonial arrangements in Nigeria has led to the ruination of the country. It is a book that explains the backwardness of Nigeria, in spite of her enormous resources.

The emergence of the Public Budget is related to society's demands for greater control over the use of public resources, which is directly influenced by the way power is exercised and executed. Participatory Budgeting was born from this same perspective, but places citizens as an essential actor in the formulation of the budget, demonstrating the nuances of a participation methodology capable of improving the level of citizenship and social relations, supported by minimum access to knowledge of the techniques involved in drawing up, allocating and monitoring the Public Budget. Based on the conceptual analysis of Public and Participatory Budgeting, it will be shown how the practical application of the Participatory Budgeting methodology establishes mechanisms for popular participation in city management, the qualitative and educational improvement of citizens and the democratisation of the use of public resources.
