Book Synopsis Clash of Tyranny and Justice by : Garang Kuot Kuot
Download or read book Clash of Tyranny and Justice written by Garang Kuot Kuot and published by Xlibris Us. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clash of Justice and Tyranny is a detailed account of an unparalleled miscarriage of justice that involved an arbitrary arrest and the lengthy incarceration of eighteen people in the Northern Bahr el Ghazal State in South Sudan. The circumstances and details of what transpired as narrated in this book are rare; it is hard to believe that something this heinous could be inflicted on innocent individuals. Readers may find it incredulous how brutality and tyranny could be so callously deployed to destroy personalities on false charges. The book is about eighteen government officials who ended up being framed for embezzlement and arrested by the South Sudan strongman General Paul Malong Awan, who was at the time the governor of Northern Bahr el Ghazal State. Malong was well known for his brutality and absolute disregard for the rule of law. He led Northern Bahr el Ghazal State with an iron fist, turning it into a police state. Fourteen of the eighteen officials were thrown into prison on his orders and locked up in a tiny disciplinary room of death. It was by the grace of God that they survived the harsh conditions of the infamous room 11 that had already claimed the lives of many inmates. All eighteen were denied bail, and the government rejected their request to transfer the case to court. The government effectively became the judge and plaintiff at the same time. The ironic aspect of the case was that thirteen of the eighteen officials had provided loan to the government, which was in dire financial straits. The government defaulted on the loans and had the men arrested. It was a case of the guilty punishing the innocent in an unprecedented display of abuse of power. The conclusion of the case was unbelievably anomalous; detainees were told to go without a proper explanation for their confinement in prison. The eighteen were not publicly cleared or apologized to for the crimes committed against them. They were not compensated for the serious damages they incurred in terms of physical pain, emotional torture, and material loss. The whole case ended as it had begun-surprisingly abnormally.
Book Synopsis The Tyranny of the Ideal by : Gerald Gaus
Download or read book The Tyranny of the Ideal written by Gerald Gaus and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his provocative new book, The Tyranny of the Ideal, Gerald Gaus lays out a vision for how we should theorize about justice in a diverse society. Gaus shows how free and equal people, faced with intractable struggles and irreconcilable conflicts, might share a common moral life shaped by a just framework. He argues that if we are to take diversity seriously and if moral inquiry is sincere about shaping the world, then the pursuit of idealized and perfect theories of justice—essentially, the entire production of theories of justice that has dominated political philosophy for the past forty years—needs to change. Drawing on recent work in social science and philosophy, Gaus points to an important paradox: only those in a heterogeneous society—with its various religious, moral, and political perspectives—have a reasonable hope of understanding what an ideally just society would be like. However, due to its very nature, this world could never be collectively devoted to any single ideal. Gaus defends the moral constitution of this pluralistic, open society, where the very clash and disagreement of ideals spurs all to better understand what their personal ideals of justice happen to be. Presenting an original framework for how we should think about morality, The Tyranny of the Ideal rigorously analyzes a theory of ideal justice more suitable for contemporary times.

Book Synopsis Battle for Justice by : Ethan Bronner
Download or read book Battle for Justice written by Ethan Bronner and published by Sterling Publishing Company. This book was released on 2007 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When President Reagan nominated Robert Bork to the Supreme Court, it was the spark that fueled a months-long firestorm during which liberals and conservatives battled fiercely over Reagan’s choice, each trying to gain control of the nation’s judicial future. The American public, captivated by this struggle for power, weighed in with an unprecedented outpouring of mail and telephone calls to the United States Senate arguing both pro- and con- positions. Based on scores of interviews with key figures and a shrewd analysis of the issues, then-Boston Globe reporter Ethan Bronner chronicles this engrossing story of a titanic struggle for political power. It features key players such as Senators Joseph Biden and Edward Kennedy, with the latter leading the fight against the appointment using savvy Madison Avenue style strategies; a Justice Department desperate to hold its ground; a shocked White House staff, caught off-guard; and of course Bork himself, who insisted that "the process of confirming justices for our nations highest court has been transformed in a way that should not and indeed must not be permitted to occur again.” Featuring a new epilogue, "Where Are They Now?”
Book Synopsis Tyranny and Political Culture in Ancient Greece by : James F. McGlew
Download or read book Tyranny and Political Culture in Ancient Greece written by James F. McGlew and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resistance to the tyrant was an essential stage in the development of the Greek city-state. In this richly insightful book, James F. McGlew examines the significance of changes in the Greek political vocabulary that came about as a result of the history of ancient tyrants. Surveying a vast range of historical and literary sources, McGlew looks closely at discourse concerning Greek tyranny as well as at the nature of the tyrants' power and the constraints on power implicit in that discourse. Archaic tyrants, he shows, characteristically represented themselves as agents of justice. Taking their self-representation not as an ideological veil concealing the nature of tyranny but as its conceptual definition, he attempts to show that, although the language of reform gave tyrants unprecedented political freedom, it also marked their powers as temporary. Tyranny took shape, McGlew maintains, through discursive complicity between the tyrant and his subjects, who presumably accepted his self-definition but also learned from him the language and methods of resistance. The tyrant's subjects learned to resist him as they learned to obey him, but when they rejected him they did so in such a way as to preserve for themselves the distinctive political freedoms that he enjoyed. Providing a new framework for understanding ancient tyranny, this book will be read with great interest by classicists, political scientists, and ancient and modern historians alike.

Book Synopsis A Conflict of Visions by : Thomas Sowell
Download or read book A Conflict of Visions written by Thomas Sowell and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2007-06-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Sowell’s “extraordinary” explication of the competing visions of human nature lie at the heart of our political conflicts (New York Times) Controversies in politics arise from many sources, but the conflicts that endure for generations or centuries show a remarkably consistent pattern. In this classic work, Thomas Sowell analyzes this pattern. He describes the two competing visions that shape our debates about the nature of reason, justice, equality, and power: the "constrained" vision, which sees human nature as unchanging and selfish, and the "unconstrained" vision, in which human nature is malleable and perfectible. A Conflict of Visions offers a convincing case that ethical and policy disputes circle around the disparity between both outlooks.

Book Synopsis A Chief Justice's Progress by : David Robarge
Download or read book A Chief Justice's Progress written by David Robarge and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-02-28 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded as America's most important Chief Justice, John Marshall influenced our constitutional, political, and economic development as much as any American. He handed down landmark decisions on judicial review, federal-state relations, contracts, corporations, and commercial regulation during a thirty-four year tenure that encompassed five presidencies, a second war of independence, the demise of the first American party system, and the advent of Jacksonianism and market capitalism. This is the first interpretive study of Marshall's early life that emphasizes the formative influences on him before he joined the Court. By that time his character and attitudes were fully formed through his childhood in the Virginia gentry, his service in the state militia and Continental Army, and his work as a prominent lawyer, a Federalist, and a diplomat. Drawing heavily on Marshall's own writings, this study views his pre-Supreme Court life as a cumulative experience that formed the identity and value system that he brought to bear on his experiences as Chief Justice. Robarge examines Marshall's social and political education in the unique milieu of late 18th century Virginia for its own intrinsic interest, as well as for its relationship to his profound contribution to the Court. The events and situations that shaped Marshall's personality and attitudes directly influenced his leadership style. They also had a deep impact upon his efforts to establish an independent judiciary, to unify the nation through territorial expansion and a legal common market, and to revive the moribund Federalist party as a balance to the dominant Republicans led by the cousin he detested, Thomas Jefferson.

Book Synopsis The Political Theory of Tyranny in Singapore and Burma by : Stephen McCarthy
Download or read book The Political Theory of Tyranny in Singapore and Burma written by Stephen McCarthy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering various fields in political science, this new book presents an historical and political-cultural analysis of Buddhism and Confucianism. Using Singapore and Burma as case studies, the book questions the basic assumptions of democratization theory, examining the political science of tyranny and exploring the rhetorical manipulation of religion for the purpose of political legitimacy. A welcome addition to the political science and Asian studies literature, McCarthy addresses many of the current issues that underlie the field of democratization in comparative politics and discusses the issue of imposing Western cultural bias in studying non-Western regimes by analyzing rhetorical traits that are universally regular in politics.

Book Synopsis Rhetoric and Discourse in Supreme Court Oral Arguments by : Ryan Malphurs
Download or read book Rhetoric and Discourse in Supreme Court Oral Arguments written by Ryan Malphurs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While legal scholars, psychologists, and political scientists commonly voice their skepticism over the influence oral arguments have on the Court’s voting pattern, this book offers a contrarian position focused on close scrutiny of the justices’ communication within oral arguments. Malphurs examines the rhetoric, discourse, and subsequent decision-making within the oral arguments for significant Supreme Court cases, visiting their potential power and danger and revealing the rich dynamic nature of the justices’ interactions among themselves and the advocates. In addition to offering advancements in scholars’ understanding of oral arguments, this study introduces Sensemaking as an alternative to rational decision-making in Supreme Court arguments, suggesting a new model of judicial decision-making to account for the communication within oral arguments that underscores a glaring irony surrounding the bulk of related research—the willingness of scholars to criticize oral arguments but their unwillingness to study this communication. With the growing accessibility of the Court’s oral arguments and the inevitable introduction of television cameras in the courtroom, this book offers new theoretical and methodological perspectives at a time when scholars across the fields of communication, law, psychology, and political science will direct even greater attention and scrutiny toward the Supreme Court.
