Book Synopsis Open Networks, Closed Regimes by : Shanthi Kalathil
Download or read book Open Networks, Closed Regimes written by Shanthi Kalathil and published by Carnegie Endowment. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Internet diffuses across the globe, many have come to believe that the technology poses an insurmountable threat to authoritarian rule. Grounded in the Internet's early libertarian culture and predicated on anecdotes pulled from diverse political climates, this conventional wisdom has informed the views of policymakers, business leaders, and media pundits alike. Yet few studies have sought to systematically analyze the exact ways in which Internet use may lay the basis for political change. In O pen Networks, Closed Regimes, the authors take a comprehensive look at how a broad range of societal and political actors in eight authoritarian and semi-authoritarian countries employ the Internet. Based on methodical assessment of evidence from these cases—China, Cuba, Singapore, Vietnam, Burma, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt—the study contends that the Internet is not necessarily a threat to authoritarian regimes.
Book Synopsis Interactive Learning Kit for American Government by : Joanna L Sabo
Download or read book Interactive Learning Kit for American Government written by Joanna L Sabo and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-23 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface Admit it. You do not believe that an introductory course in political science will be very rewarding. In fact, you doubt that you will learn anything useful in this course. Maybe you won't--or maybe you will. As with most college experiences, what you gain from participating in a course will greatly depend on what you put into the course. However, many social, environmental, and psychological factors affect learning. Some of you are taking this course simply to meet your social science requirement during a time slot that fits your desired course schedule. For whatever reasons, college students today generally have very little interest in politics. Sure, some of you may actually be interested in learning about current events or "American government," but most college students look forward to studying politics about as much as they look forward to having their wisdom teeth extracted. Therefore, I can only conclude that students' social, environmental, and psychological experiences so far have done something to "turn them off" to this fascinating field of study. First, let's explore the myths that exist regarding the study of political science. Myth #1: Political science is boring. Fact: By its nature, political science is not boring. Every day, thousands of people entertain themselves by reading spy novels, playing board games like monopoly, watching television shows like Mad Men, or renting movies like Ocean's Eleven. Why are these things interesting? What do all of these diversions have in common? All of these sources of entertainment are about power and what people will do to get it. Spying is about power, money is about power, and clearly organized crime is about power. Politics is all about power, too. It can be entertaining to see what some people in real life actually do to get it--and through legal means! (Well, most of the time, anyway.) Myth #2: Political science doesn't matter. Understanding politics really won't help me in my job or everyday life. Fact: Oh, au contraire! Most people need to understand governmental processes in order to get ahead. What if you learn someday that the government approved a policy that allowed a company to store toxic waste behind your new house? Would you know whom to contact? If you hired an attorney, would you have the working knowledge to judge her performance? What if you graduate, become successful in your career, and someday want to purchase investments? Would you know which governmental forces can affect the economy? Face it. Politics affects absolutely everything--your right to own property, marry whom you want, or travel where you want. Politics directly affects the drinking age, future military drafts, and the sale of music downloads. Politics also affects how much of your earnings you get to keep for yourself (taxes). Myth #3: The study of politics does not directly relate to any career fields or decent jobs. Studying politics is useful only for pre-law students. Fact: There are thousands of jobs in many different career fields that require or prefer graduates with a major in political science. Think about this. There are over 86,000 units of government in the United States. Compare this to the fact that there are only 31,000 McDonald's restaurants in the entire world. In other words, there are quite a few government offices with quite a few government employees. Many of these employees are well-paid managers who have degrees in political science. Occupations well suited to political science majors include city managers, lobbyists, corporate officers for government affairs, school district employees, judges, court administrators, court docket managers, not-for-profit corporation managers, journalists, and television hosts or anchor persons, to name a few. Even with all these reasons to study political science, students would rather take classes in something more relevant, more interactive and more interesting. This is where this book can help. This book contains the things you will need to make politics more relevant, more pragmatic, and fun. You will be participating in various activities to learn how different facets of the U.S. political process work. Then, hopefully, you will find politics to be both interesting and important.

Book Synopsis Politics as Usual by : Michael Margolis
Download or read book Politics as Usual written by Michael Margolis and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2000-01-24 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyberspace is no longer a mystery. It has become irrevocably intertwined with everyday life, facilitating everything from reading the news and paying the bills to ordering birthday presents. We are in the midst of a revolution in mass communication, and there now exists the technology for creating new forms of community, empowering citizens, and challenging existing power structures. But will such changes occur? In this fascinating book Michael Margolis and David Resnick ponder the effects of cyberspace on American Politics. Our political system tends to normalize political activity, and thus, the Internet's vast potential could be lost, rendering it just another purveyor of ignored information. This broad examination begins with a history of cyberspace and moves through discussions of parties, political interest groups, candidates, mass media, information dissemination, and commercial uses of the Internet. Politics as Usual offers an innovative and exciting look into previously ignored aspects of the Internet and American politics.

Book Synopsis American Government 3e by : Glen Krutz
Download or read book American Government 3e written by Glen Krutz and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black & white print. American Government 3e aligns with the topics and objectives of many government courses. Faculty involved in the project have endeavored to make government workings, issues, debates, and impacts meaningful and memorable to students while maintaining the conceptual coverage and rigor inherent in the subject. With this objective in mind, the content of this textbook has been developed and arranged to provide a logical progression from the fundamental principles of institutional design at the founding, to avenues of political participation, to thorough coverage of the political structures that constitute American government. The book builds upon what students have already learned and emphasizes connections between topics as well as between theory and applications. The goal of each section is to enable students not just to recognize concepts, but to work with them in ways that will be useful in later courses, future careers, and as engaged citizens. In order to help students understand the ways that government, society, and individuals interconnect, the revision includes more examples and details regarding the lived experiences of diverse groups and communities within the United States. The authors and reviewers sought to strike a balance between confronting the negative and harmful elements of American government, history, and current events, while demonstrating progress in overcoming them. In doing so, the approach seeks to provide instructors with ample opportunities to open discussions, extend and update concepts, and drive deeper engagement.

Book Synopsis From Gutenberg to Google by : Tom Wheeler
Download or read book From Gutenberg to Google written by Tom Wheeler and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Network revolutions of the past have shaped the present and set the stage for the revolution we are experiencing today In an era of seemingly instant change, it's easy to think that today's revolutions—in communications, business, and many areas of daily life—are unprecedented. Today's changes may be new and may be happening faster than ever before. But our ancestors at times were just as bewildered by rapid upheavals in what we now call “networks”—the physical links that bind any society together. In this fascinating book, former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler brings to life the two great network revolutions of the past and uses them to help put in perspective the confusion, uncertainty, and even excitement most people face today. The first big network revolution was the invention of movable-type printing in the fifteenth century. This book, its millions of predecessors, and even such broad trends as the Reformation, the Renaissance, and the multiple scientific revolutions of the past 500 years would not have been possible without that one invention. The second revolution came with the invention of the telegraph early in the nineteenth century. Never before had people been able to communicate over long distances faster than a horse could travel. Along with the development of the world's first high-speed network—the railroad—the telegraph upended centuries of stability and literally redrew the map of the world. Wheeler puts these past revolutions into the perspective of today, when rapid-fire changes in networking are upending the nature of work, personal privacy, education, the media, and nearly every other aspect of modern life. But he doesn't leave it there. Outlining “What's Next,” he describes how artificial intelligence, virtual reality, blockchain, and the need for cybersecurity are laying the foundation for a third network revolution.
