«Abbiamo tutti in mente la tipica immagine di uno stato autocratico. C'è un cattivo al vertice, che controlla l'esercito e la polizia. L'esercito e la polizia minacciano il popolo con la violenza. Ci sono collaboratori malvagi, e magari qualche coraggioso dissidente.» Tuttavia, per Anne Applebaum, saggista e vincitrice del premio Pulitzer, questa convinzione diffusa altro non è che un anacronismo. Nel XXI secolo, infatti, una simile rappresentazione delle Autocrazie ha scarsa attinenza con la realtà e per di più ne ignora del tutto l'evoluzione.

What if we could redefine leadership? What if kindness came first? Jacinda Ardern grew up the daughter of a police officer in small-town New Zealand, but as the 40th Prime Minister of her country, she commanded global respect for her empathetic leadership that put people first. This is the remarkable story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt made political history and changed our assumptions of what a global leader can be.

In the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, news spread about Project 2025, a nearly 1,000-page document published by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. The debates—and anxiety—surrounding this initiative have only increased as authors of the Project assume positions of power in the second Trump administration. So, what is Project 2025, exactly? Who wrote it, what does it actually say, and what does it mean for everyday people around the world, across the political spectrum, in the years to come?

On Jan. 6, 2021, politicians and members of the press huddled in Capitol nooks, confronting their own mortality as sounds of shattering glass and gunshots drew closer. In this explosive collection of her delicately lyrical syndicated columns, Jamie Stiehm shares her visceral experience inside the Capitol. In columns written directly before, immediately after, and over the years since that dark day, Stiehm foreshadows, reacts to and reflects upon the deep scars on our nation from tensions that existed well before Jan. 6 but boiled over on that date, leaving searing burns behind.

When justice is for sale, what remains of democracy? This book delves into the values of democracy, examining the troubling influence of money in politics and exposing how wealth can distort the system, manipulate social doctrines, and silence the common voice. It challenges us to confront inconvenient truths: Is power slipping away from the people? Are special interests taking control? Has it ever been different in contemporary history? What, if anything, is new? Can we respond and move toward a more authentic system? Can we build a true democracy, beyond mere words that serve as façades ...

Die alte Weltordnung zerbröselt, befeuert durch den neuen US-Präsidenten Donald Trump.

Als Systemsprenger betreibt Trump den Rückfall in eine Welt, in der jeder Nationalstaat nur auf den besten Deal aus ist und unsere Werte keine Rolle spielen. Elmar Theveßen entwirft in diesem Buch das düstere Szenario vom Abgleiten in einen Autoritarismus, der uns alle bedroht.

This book provides an in-depth evidence-based analysis on the issue of democracy and good governance, using actual examples comparing the Chinese and Western political systems based on theories, structure, processes and performance. The current Chinese political system is designed for wide-based consultation with socialism as their core value whilst avoiding the flaws inherent in the design, process and structure of the Western political model.

All through the election, the world marveled that Trump could possibly be the leading republican candidate. That a socialist could challenge Hillary. They marveled that the UK was leaving the EU. What could possibly cause such dynamic shifting in the political landscapes. Here I explore my theory that it is the silencing of disent and the removal of free speach that has cause this rise of Nationalism and Populism, both at home and abroad.

Una historia cruda y satírica sobre el poder, la persuasión y el peligro de cerrar los ojos ante verdades incómodas. Ambientada a bordo de un autobús turístico aparentemente común, esta historia desentraña cómo la verdad puede ser manipulada, la confianza comprada con promesas, y grupos enteros guiados por el camino equivocado, no mediante la fuerza, sino con halagos, miedo y la seductora comodidad de pertenecer. Lo que comienza como un frustrante retraso en el viaje pronto se convierte en una escalofriante lección de manipulación. Un extraño carismático promete salvación, pero...

In his provocative new book "The Conservative Agenda," author Jack Donahue lays out a vision for America's future rooted in traditional conservative principles. Donahue argues that over the past few decades, both major political parties have lost their way and no longer truly represent the values and beliefs of a silent majority of Americans who hold more conservative views on issues like taxes, government spending, regulation, and social policies. A key part of Donahue's thesis is that America needs a renewed culture of self-reliance, personal responsibility, faith, and family. He ...

Democracy cannot thrive with 19th-century tools. Yet, the United States continues to rely on outdated voting infrastructure, fragile electoral safeguards, and a system of governance that increasingly exposes its vulnerabilities rather than fortifies its strengths. From the chaos of hanging chads in 2000 to the specter of foreign interference in 2016 and 2020, the nation’s electoral processes have been undermined by inefficiencies, errors, and a growing crisis of trust. Even more troubling, the American presidential system, long praised as a bastion of democratic governance, now stands as ...
