Book Synopsis Political Turmoil in a Tumultuous World by : David Carment
Download or read book Political Turmoil in a Tumultuous World written by David Carment and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-22 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last two years, Canadian society has been marked by political and ideological turmoil. How does an increasingly divided country engage a world that is itself divided and tumultuous? Political instability has been reinforced by international uncertainty: the COVID-19 pandemic, populism, Black Lives Matter, and the chaotic final year of the Trump presidency that increased tensions between the West, China and Russia. Even with a Biden presidency, these issues will continue to influence Canada’s domestic situation and its ability to engage as an effective global actor. Contributors explore issues that cause or reflect these tensions, such as Canada’s willingness to address pressing crises through multilateralism, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Can Canada forge its own path in a turbulent world?
Download or read book Democracy Hacked written by Martin Moore and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology has fractured democracy, and now there’s no going back. All around the world, the fringes have stormed the palace of the elites and unleashed data miners, dark ads and bots on an unwitting public. After years of soundbites about connecting people, the social media giants are only just beginning to admit to the scale of the problem. We stand on the precipice of an era where switching your mobile platform will have more impact on your life than switching your government. Where freedom and privacy are seen as incompatible with social well-being and transparency. Where your attention is sold to the highest bidder. Our laws don’t cover what is happening and our politicians don’t understand it. But if we don’t fight to change the system now, we may not get another chance.

The numbers have been stupefying, whether of infection and mortality, the scale of public health measures, or the economic consequences of shutdown. Coronavirus Politics identifies key threads in the global comparative discussion that continue to shed light on COVID-19 and shape debates about what it means for scholarship in health and comparative politics. Editors Scott L. Greer, Elizabeth J. King, Elize Massard da Fonseca, and André Peralta-Santos bring together over 30 authors versed in politics and the health issues in order to understand the health policy decisions, the public health interventions, the social policy decisions, their interactions, and the reasons.

All go beyond reporting and monitoring to develop explanations that draw on the authors' expertise while engaging in structured conversations across the book.
Book Synopsis Political Turbulence by : Helen Margetts
Download or read book Political Turbulence written by Helen Margetts and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How social media is giving rise to a chaotic new form of politics As people spend increasing proportions of their daily lives using social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, they are being invited to support myriad political causes by sharing, liking, endorsing, or downloading. Chain reactions caused by these tiny acts of participation form a growing part of collective action today, from neighborhood campaigns to global political movements. Political Turbulence reveals that, in fact, most attempts at collective action online do not succeed, but some give rise to huge mobilizations—even revolutions. Drawing on large-scale data generated from the Internet and real-world events, this book shows how mobilizations that succeed are unpredictable, unstable, and often unsustainable. To better understand this unruly new force in the political world, the authors use experiments that test how social media influence citizens deciding whether or not to participate. They show how different personality types react to social influences and identify which types of people are willing to participate at an early stage in a mobilization when there are few supporters or signals of viability. The authors argue that pluralism is the model of democracy that is emerging in the social media age—not the ordered, organized vision of early pluralists, but a chaotic, turbulent form of politics. This book demonstrates how data science and experimentation with social data can provide a methodological toolkit for understanding, shaping, and perhaps even predicting the outcomes of this democratic turbulence.
Book Synopsis Political Conflict in Pakistan by : Mohammad Waseem
Download or read book Political Conflict in Pakistan written by Mohammad Waseem and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a major reinterpretation of politics in Pakistan. Its focus is conflict among groups, communities, classes, ideologies and institutions, which has shaped the country's political dynamics. Mohammad Waseem critically examines the theory surrounding the millennium-long conflict between Hindus and Muslims as separate nations who practiced mingled faiths, and the Hindu, Muslim and Sikh renaissances that created a twentieth-century clash of communities and led to partition. Political Conflict in Pakistan addresses multiple clashes: between the high culture as a mission to transform society, and the low culture of the land and the people; between those committed to the establishment's institutional constitutional framework and those seeking to dismantle the "colonial" state; between the corrupt and those seeking to hold them to account; between the political class and the middle class; and between civil and military power. The author exposes how the ruling elite centralised power through the militarisation and judicialization of politics, rendering the federalist arrangement an empty shell and thus grossly alienating the provinces. He sets all this within the contexts of education and media as breeders of conflict, the difficulties of establishing an anti-terrorist regime, and the state's pragmatic attempts at conflict resolution by seeking to keep the outsiders inside. This is a wide-ranging account of a country of contestations.

Book Synopsis The Monarchy of Fear by : Martha C. Nussbaum
Download or read book The Monarchy of Fear written by Martha C. Nussbaum and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the world’s most celebrated moral philosophers comes a thorough examination of the current political crisis and recommendations for how to mend our divided country. For decades Martha C. Nussbaum has been an acclaimed scholar and humanist, earning dozens of honors for her books and essays. In The Monarchy of Fear she turns her attention to the current political crisis that has polarized American since the 2016 election. Although today’s atmosphere is marked by partisanship, divisive rhetoric, and the inability of two halves of the country to communicate with one another, Nussbaum focuses on what so many pollsters and pundits have overlooked. She sees a simple truth at the heart of the problem: the political is always emotional. Globalization has produced feelings of powerlessness in millions of people in the West. That sense of powerlessness bubbles into resentment and blame. Blame of immigrants. Blame of Muslims. Blame of other races. Blame of cultural elites. While this politics of blame is exemplified by the election of Donald Trump and the vote for Brexit, Nussbaum argues it can be found on all sides of the political spectrum, left or right. Drawing on a mix of historical and contemporary examples, from classical Athens to the musical Hamilton, The Monarchy of Fear untangles this web of feelings and provides a roadmap of where to go next.
Download or read book Necessary Trouble written by Sarah Jaffe and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Necessary Trouble is the definitive book on the movements that are poised to permanently remake American politics. We are witnessing a moment of unprecedented political turmoil and social activism. Over the last few years, we've seen the growth of the Tea Party, a twenty-first-century black freedom struggle with BlackLivesMatter, Occupy Wall Street, and the grassroots networks supporting presidential candidates in defiance of the traditional party elites. Sarah Jaffe leads readers into the heart of these movements, explaining what has made ordinary Americans become activists. As Jaffe argues, the financial crisis in 2008 was the spark, the moment that crystallized that something was wrong. For years, Jaffe crisscrossed the country, asking people what they were angry about, and what they were doing to take power back. She attended a people's assembly in a church gymnasium in Ferguson, Missouri; walked a picket line at an Atlanta Burger King; rode a bus from New York to Ohio with student organizers; and went door-to-door in Queens days after Hurricane Sandy. From the successful fight for a 15 minimum wage in Seattle and New York to the halting of Shell's Arctic drilling program, Americans are discovering the effectiveness of making good, necessary trouble. Regardless of political alignment, they are boldly challenging who wields power in this country.

Book Synopsis Political Turmoil: Early Modern British Literature in Transition, 1623–1660: Volume 2 by : Stephen B. Dobranski
Download or read book Political Turmoil: Early Modern British Literature in Transition, 1623–1660: Volume 2 written by Stephen B. Dobranski and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early modern period in Britain was defined by tremendous upheaval - the upending of monarchy, the unsettling of church doctrine, and the pursuit of a new method of inquiry based on an inductive experimental model. Political Turmoil: Early Modern Literature in Transition, 1623–1660 offers an innovative and ambitious re-appraisal of seventeenth-century British literature and history. Each of the contributors attempts to address the 'how' and 'why' of aesthetic change by focusing on political and cultural transformations. Instead of forging a grand narrative of continuity, the contributors attempt to piece together the often complex web of factors and events that contributed to developments in literary form and matter - as well as the social and religious changes that literature sometimes helped to occasion. These twenty chapters, reading across traditional periodization, demonstrate that early modern literary works - when they were conceived, as they were created, and after they circulated - were, above all, involved in various types of transitions.
Book Synopsis Uganda’s Worst Political Turmoil, as Our Beloved Country-Uganda, Is Under Siege, by the Tutsi- Rwandese Rebels Who Entered Uganda as Refugees Years Ago. by : Mica Kiribedda
Download or read book Uganda’s Worst Political Turmoil, as Our Beloved Country-Uganda, Is Under Siege, by the Tutsi- Rwandese Rebels Who Entered Uganda as Refugees Years Ago. written by Mica Kiribedda and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about a shocking revelation of a sovereign country- Uganda, which is under abominable siege, by a foreign occupation army from Rwanda, with its diabolic criminal gang, who entered Uganda as refugees, including the so-called General Yoweri Museveni. It was alleged that they fled their country Rwanda escaping the Hutu's heightened political tensions and repressions in the 60s, under J. Habyarimana's regime. By the time Uganda gained its Independence from the British in 1962, it was unthinkable, why the British who were watching the massive Tutsi-Rwanda influx into Uganda yet, they could not stop it, why? But in 1980, the Tutsi-Rwanda ethnic groups had organized themselves and formed their military front -the NRA/RPU-Rwanda Patriotic Unity under Yoweri Museveni, the guerrilla warfare Leader. The NRA/RPU waged guerrilla warfare against the Government forces commanded by General Tito Okello until he was defeated, and so, they seized power by the barrel of the gun in 1986. It was a terrible miscalculated scenario as nobody could dare question the Guerrilla army their legality and mandate to govern the country. It was a hoax. General Museveni's totalitarian, the-ruthless regime, has deliberately destroyed the country to its foundation and sold whatever the national assets available, and looted whatever they could get hold of, yet, they have committed heinous and unspeakable atrocities to the citizens of Uganda. They have committed crimes against humanity, with Museveni's fatality list around a million lives. This book is a whistle blower to the world, that Uganda ceased to be a sovereign country from February 1986, the period General Museveni seized power from Ugandans and the country is under siege since. Finally, Ugandans appeal to the International Community, United Nations, and African Unity and all peace-loving people in the world, to come to the Ugandans'resque as General Museveni's diabolic -the ruthless regime is waiting to crush and slaughter thousands of demonstrators at the country's general election, their only hope to liberate Uganda from the foreign forces of Tutsi-Rwanda' s army of occupation. The International Community's intervention is essential to avert another Rwanda genocide in Uganda.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turmoil in the Middle East highlights the impact of imperialism, war, and political turmoil in the Middle East throughout the course of the twentieth-century—from the devastation of the First World War through the many crises and conflicts that have led to cycles of war, uprisings, coups, revolts, and revolutions. It focuses on the internal contradictions of Middle Eastern states driven by the dynamics of class conflict and class struggle in various realms of society and social relations. Berberoglu examines the political economy of long-embedded conflicts and crises in the Middle East, paying special attention to the role of powerful, external forces stemming from Western imperialism and led by Britain, France, and later the United States.
