Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Yorker Best Book of the Year A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year An Atlantic Best Book of the Year A Financial Times Best Politics Book of the Year How a new breed of dictators holds power by manipulating information and faking democracy Hitler, Stalin, and Mao ruled through violence, fear, and ideology. But in recent decades a new breed of media-savvy strongmen has been redesigning authoritarian rule for a more sophisticated, globally connected world. In place of overt, mass repression, rulers such as Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Viktor Orbán control their citizens by distorting information and simulating democratic procedures. Like spin doctors in democracies, they spin the news to engineer support. Uncovering this new brand of authoritarianism, Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman explain the rise of such “spin dictators,” describing how they emerge and operate, the new threats they pose, and how democracies should respond. Spin Dictators traces how leaders such as Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew and Peru’s Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power. They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits. The book reveals why most of today’s authoritarians are spin dictators—and how they differ from the remaining “fear dictators” such as Kim Jong-un and Bashar al-Assad, as well as from masters of high-tech repression like Xi Jinping. Offering incisive portraits of today’s authoritarian leaders, Spin Dictators explains some of the great political puzzles of our time—from how dictators can survive in an age of growing modernity to the disturbing convergence and mutual sympathy between dictators and populists like Donald Trump.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los antiguos dictadores como Hitler, Stalin o Mao gobernaron mediante la violencia, el terror y la dominación ideológica. Pero en las últimas décadas se ha consolidado una nueva generación de hombres fuertes que, sirviéndose de los medios de comunicación y las redes sociales, ha rediseñado el gobierno autoritario para un mundo más sofisticado y globalmente conectado. En lugar de una represión abierta y masiva, gobernantes como Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan y Viktor Orbán controlan a sus ciudadanos distorsionando la información y simulando procedimientos democráticos. Al igual que los propagandistas y voceros en las democracias, estos nuevos dictadores retuercen las noticias para granjearse el apoyo social, cultivar una imagen de competencia y ocultar la censura. Y utilizan las instituciones democráticas para socavar la democracia misma, al mismo tiempo que aumentan el compromiso internacional para obtener beneficios financieros y reputacionales. Los prestigiosos académicos Sergei Guriev y Daniel Treisman se han dedicado a desentrañar esta nueva forma de autoritarismo, explicando cómo surgen y operan los dictadores manipuladores del siglo , y analizando las amenazas que plantean y cómo deberían responder a ellas nuestras democracias. Los nuevos dictadores rastrea en líderes como Lee Kuan Yew en Singapur y Alberto Fujimori en Perú el origen de estos métodos menos violentos, más sutiles y más efectivos para monopolizar el poder. Este libro detalla en qué se diferencian estos «dictadores de la manipulación» del resto de «dictadores del miedo», como Kim Jong-un y Bashar al-Assad, y de los maestros de la represión de alta tecnología como Xi Jinping; explica cómo los dictadores pueden sobrevivir en el mundo moderno y explora la inquietante simpatía mutua entre dictadores y populistas como Donald Trump.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Las décadas de corrupción, engaños, injusticia y desigualdad se van acumulando en el haber de las democracias occidentales. Los cambios no llegan y, si lo hacen, parecen ser a peor. Por suerte, los Nuevos Bolcheviques, una misteriosa agrupación de estudiantes, tienen la solución que hace falta: una revolución desde la base que no deje rastro del sistema imperante. Pero los gobernantes no se dejarán derrocar tan fácilmente. Pondrán en juego todos los medios que tienen a su disposición, aun si esto desemboca en un conflicto civil de dimensiones épicas. Aunque esto salpique al resto del mundo. Acompaña a Osvaldo, un profesor de universidad que, sin pretenderlo, termina teniendo un papel capital en los planes de los Nuevos Bolcheviques. Lo opuesto a un héroe que, de buenas a primeras, se va arrastrado a una revolución en la que no quería creer. Una obra de la que estarían orgullosos Darío Fo, Bertolt Brecht y los hermanos Coen. Los Nuevos Bolcheviques te transporta en un caótico e iluminador viaje no exento de filosofía y sentido del humor. Toda una epopeya de nuestra época».

Book excerpt: Juan Montalvo es uno de los más grandes pensadores de América Latina. Vivió en el siglo XIX, durante un período de inestabilidad política y restricciones de las libertades públicas. Pasó la vida defendiendo la libertad de prensa y combatiendo las tiranías y el clericalismo. Se enfrentó sin descanso contra los gobiernos autoritarios y sufrió por ello persecuciones que lo mantuvieron exilado de su patria, el Ecuador, por largas temporadas. Buena parte de la producción de Montalvo tiene como finalidad defender los valores del libre pensamiento y el derecho a la libertad de conciencia. En 1874, apareció un artículo en el periódico panameño Star and Herald, donde se ensalzaban los logros de Gabriel García Moreno como presidente y se apoyaba su candidatura a la tercera reelección. Montalvo se indignó y escribió la misiva que aquí publicamos al diario, bajo el titulo de La dictadura perpetua. En ella su prosa mordaz y directa ponía en relieve las perversiones del gobierno de García Moreno. Este texto, subtitulado, canto a la libertad y a la lucha contra la tiranía, se leyó clandestinamente en Ecuador y contribuyó a quitar la venda de los ojos de nuestros antepasados, no llegó a Ecuador hasta mayo de 1875. La dictadura perpetua es un retrato del poder ejercido en sus extremos. Construido, a través del análisis del carácter y la psicología de un dictador. El libro inspiró a un grupo de jóvenes liberales a ejecutar a Gabriel García Moreno, entonces presidente del Ecuador, el 6 de agosto de 1875. Muchas de las ideas que aparecen en La dictadura perpetua siguen teniendo total vigencia en el presente: «¿A dónde van a parar los principios democráticos, a dónde las instituciones liberales, a dónde los derechos de los pueblos, a dónde la justicia, a dónde el pundonor, a dónde la dignidad humana, a dónde la libertad, a dónde la esperanza?» «¡Desdichado, por otra parte, el pueblo donde la revolución viniese a ser imposible!»

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defending 'la patria,' or 'homeland,' is the historical mission claimed by Latin American armed forces. For la Patria is a comprehensive narrative history of the military's political role in Latin America in national defense and security. Latin American civil-military relations and the role of the armed forces in politics, like those of all modern nation-states, are framed by constitutional and legal norms specifying the formal relationships between the armed forces and the rest of society. In actuality, they are also the result of expectations, attitudes, values, and practices evolved over centuries-integral aspects of national political cultures. Military institutions in each Latin American nation have resulted from that country's own blend of local and imported influences, developing a distinctive pattern of civil-military relations as defender of the fatherland and guarantor of security and order. Written by Latin American specialist Brian Loveman, For la Patria includes tables, maps, photographs, and a glossary that will assist the student in better understanding the military's intervention in politics in Latin America. This new text will give students a thorough and accessible history of Latin American armed forces and their actions in Latin American politics from colonial times to the present.

This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Anarchists and the Russian Revolution, 1917–24 explores the impact of the Russian Revolution on the world’s most powerful anarchist movement, the Spanish National Confederation of Labour. The monograph traces the curve of euphoria followed by scepticism that characterized anarchist reactions to the Soviet experiment in 1917–24. This book unearths the interactions between anarchists and Bolsheviks, and assesses their significance for social conflict in Spain and for the foundation of international communism. The Spanish anarchists are a window to examine the global appeal of the Bolsheviks among diverse, non-Marxist militant groups at a time of cross-fertilization for the left internationally. Through the case study of the Spanish anarchists, this book highlights how identification with the victorious Russian Bolsheviks became a rousing device and a political asset at a time of intense social effervescence, when, in the eyes of many, world revolution seemed imminent. However, for heterodox, non-Marxist forces, such as the Spanish anarchists, the Soviet model had to be negotiated and adapted to local conditions and political traditions. This book later traces the ending of this phase of cross-fertilization at a time of defeat and demoralization for the labour movement in Spain and across Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formation, organization, and accessibility of archives and libraries are critical for the production of historical narratives. They contain the materials with which historians and others reconstruct past events. Archives and libraries, however, not only help produce history, but also have a history of their own. From the early colonial projects to the formation of nation states in Latin America, archives and libraries had been at the center of power struggles and conflicting ideas over patrimony and document preservation that demand historical scrutiny. Much of their collections have been lost on account of accidents or sheer negligence, but there are also cases of recovery and reconstruction that have opened new windows to the past. The essays in this volume explore several fascinating cases of destruction and recovery of archives and libraries and illuminate the ways in which those episodes help shape the writing of historical narratives and the making of collective memories.
