Mit Putins allumfassenden Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine stehen drei Jahrzehnte deutscher Außenpolitik auf dem Prüfstand. Wie konnte es so weit kommen? In einer akribischen Recherche haben Katja Gloger und Georg Mascolo eine Fülle vertraulicher wie brisanter Regierungsdokumente eingesehen und mit zahlreichen Zeitzeugen gesprochen. Eine besondere Rolle spielten die Dossiers deutscher Geheimdienste, die früh vor Putins imperialen Gelüsten warnten.

A must-listen for the informed citizen, The Impeachment Power argues that impeachment is ultimately a political instrument and gives us the perspective we need to recognize when an impeachment might be useful and when we are better served by looking for alternative ways to solve our political problems.

The trailblazing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her own words. Her most essential writings on gender equality and women's rights, reproductive health care, and voting and civil rights, now available in a short, accessible volume as part of the new Penguin Liberty series.

No Democracy Lasts Forever argues that the Constitution has become a threat to American democracy and must be dramatically changed or replaced if secession is to be avoided. Deeply troubled by the Constitution's inherent flaws, Erwin Chemerinsky, the renowned dean of Berkeley law school, came to the sobering conclusion that our nearly 250-year-old founding document is responsible for the crisis now facing American democracy.

Maximilian Steinbeis, Jurist und streitbarer Experte für alle Fragen zur Verfassung, zeigt am Beispiel Thüringen, wie Populisten den freiheitlichen Staat zerstören könnten, indem sie Gesetze und Institutionen missbrauchen: Schulen und Universitäten, Justiz und Polizei, Medien und Kunst. Es bleibt nur noch wenig Zeit, unsere Freiheit gegen diese Angriffe zu verteidigen. Maximilian Steinbeis schärft unser Bewusstsein für die Bedrohungen, denen unsere freie Gesellschaft ausgesetzt ist.

Written by fifty-five of the richest white men, and signed by only thirty-nine of them, the US constitution is the sacred text of American nationalism. Popular perceptions of it are mired in idolatry, myth, and misinformation—many Americans have opinions on the constitution but have little idea what it says. This book examines the constitution for what it is—a rule book for elites to protect capitalism from democracy.

Exploring the full sweep of federalism from the founding to today, Kettl focuses on pivotal moments when power has shifted between state and national governments - from the violent rebalancing of the Civil War, when the nation almost split in two, to the era of civil rights a century later, when there was apparent agreement that inequality was a threat to liberty and the federal government should set policies for states to enact. Despite this consensus, inequality between states has only deepened since that moment.

This illuminating study traces the transformation of the right to arms from its inception in English and colonial American law to today's impassioned gun-control debate. As historian and legal scholar Patrick J. Charles shows, what the right to arms means to Americans, as well as what it legally protects, has changed drastically since its first appearance in the 1689 Declaration of Rights. Armed in America explores how and why the right to arms transformed at different points in history. The right was initially meant to serve as a parliamentary right of resistance.

In this dramatic and fully accessible account of these titans of the early republic and their fiercely held ideas, James F. Simon brings to life the early history of the nation and sheds new light on the highly charged battle to balance the powers of the federal government and the rights of the states. A fascinating look at two of the nation's greatest statesmen and shrewdest politicians, What Kind of Nation presents a cogent, unbiased assessment of their lasting impact on American government.

A. C. Grayling makes the case for a clear, consistent, principled, and written constitution, and sets out the reforms necessary - among them addressing the imbalance of power between government and Parliament, imposing fixed terms for MPs, introducing proportional representation, and lowering the voting age to 16 (the age at which you can marry, gamble, join the army, and must pay taxes if you work) - to ensure the intentions of such a constitution could not be subverted or ignored.

Im Sommer 1948 stehen große Entscheidungen an: Die westlichen Alliierten beauftragen 65 Männer und Frauen damit, eine Verfassung auszuarbeiten. Monate leidenschaftlicher Diskussionen beginnen, in denen gestritten, getrickst und geträumt wird. Wie soll es werden, das neue Land? Kurz nachdem in den drei Westzonen im Frühsommer 1948 eine neue Währung eingeführt wird, riegelt die Sowjetunion West-Berlin ab: Die Stadt ist blockiert. Die USA beschließen, zwei Millionen Menschen aus der Luft zu versorgen und schicken "Rosinenbomber" los, von denen gleich einer der ersten abstürzt.

Frente a la actual «panoplia de zapadores» de la Constitución que busca dividir el país - nacionalistas, populistas, antisistemas-, los firmes partidarios de la libertad y la democracia van reculando en sus posiciones hasta conformar un «ejército de descontentos acobardados». Esta es la razón principal que impulsó a Alfonso Guerra, político orgulloso de la Transición que nos «devolvió la dignidad», a escribir La España en la que creo.

Progettata dall'Assemblea Costituente, la Regione si impone con ritardo come nuovo attore politico del mutato quadro istituzionale. A più di dieci anni dalle riforme del titolo V, l'audiolibro fa il punto sulle novità che hanno riguardato un'istituzione oggi molto discussa.

We leven in de eeuw van de grondwet. Bijna alle landen ter wereld hebben er tegenwoordig wel een. Een betrekkelijk recent fenomeen trouwens, want driekwart van al die grondwetten is van na 1975. En dat terwijl de wortels ervan net na de landbouwrevolutie liggen, meer dan tienduizend jaar geleden, toen nieuwe sociale organisatie- en leiderschapsvormen opkwamen en ook het recht ontstond als manier om grootschalig samen te kunnen werken met vreemden.

The right of Americans to voice their beliefs without government approval or oversight is protected under what may well be the most honored and least understood addendum to the US Constitution - the First Amendment. Floyd Abrams, a noted lawyer and award-winning legal scholar specializing in First Amendment issues, examines the degree to which American law protects free speech more often, more intensely, and more controversially than is the case anywhere else in the world.
