Showing titles in Nationalism

Between 1920 and 1950, America saw an unprecedented expansion of wealth and power underwritten by technological innovation, cultural confidence, and victory in war. American elites won World War II, rebuilt the world order with America at its head, inaugurated the jet age, and put a man on the moon. The boom led to a larger, richer middle class that confirmed America’s best ideals. By the early 1970s, that ended. American elites have captured a disproportionate share of the social and economic rewards over the last fifty years. 

Выдающиеся достижения России глазами заслуженного деятеля науки РФ. Валерий Александрович Тишков (1941 г. рожд.) — выдающийся ученый‑историк и этнолог, заслуженный деятель науки Российской Федерации.

Der Krieg in der Ukraine stellt das politische und wirtschaftliche Handeln Deutschlands auf den Prüfstand. Jahrzehntelang wurde über den zweitgrößten Staat Europas hinweggeschaut und Russland hofiert. Mit fatalen Folgen. Deutschland hat versagt, konstatiert die Osteuropa-Expertin Sabine Adler. Ihre Analyse nimmt nicht nur die Ukraine und den aktuellen Krieg in den Blick, sondern vor allem Deutschlands Rolle - wirtschaftlich, politisch, medial - in Bezug auf das von Russland überfallene Land.

En marzo de 2020, convocados por el jefe del sindicato de los patrones de México, los dirigentes del Partido de Acción Nacional, Revolucionario Institucional y de la Revolución Democrática se reunieron en la mansión de un multimillonario para articular una estrategia que les permitiera recuperar el poder. Dos años antes, la alianza encabezada por Andrés Manuel López Obrador y Morena les había arrebatado la presidencia.

Steve Bannon, the chief architect of Trump’s 2016 win, describes Taking Back Trump’s America as “a brass-knuckled insider’s account of the merciless 2020 fall and miraculous 2024 rise of the White House of Trump”. In Peter Navarro’s telling—he was in all of the rooms where it happened—Trump’s fall may be laid squarely at the feet of a coterie of incompetent and disloyal “bad personnel” inside the White House. They continually sought to undermine the commander in chief they putatively served.

Russia's relationship with its neighbors and with the West has worsened dramatically in recent years. Under Vladimir Putin's leadership, the country has annexed Crimea, begun a war in Eastern Ukraine, used chemical weapons on the streets of the UK, and created an army of Internet trolls to meddle in the US presidential elections. How can we understand this apparent relapse into aggressive imperialism and militarism?

"I dag går Venstre og Dansk Folkeparti hånd i hånd i kynisk spekulation i at bekræfte fordomme og bygge modsætninger op. Os mod de andre. Som i andre lande udnyttes angsten for at tabe identitet. Det er trist at overvære, hvordan nogle af Venstres topfolk bruger gammelt grundtvigiansk tankegods som en slags åndelig legitimitet. Det er både uliberalt og usolidarisk. Og jeg ville ønske, at jeg også kunne kalde det udansk. I hvert fald er det ueuropæisk. For vi europæere findes i mange udgaver. Og bor hulter til bulter.

Much of the attention paid to Trump's rise to power has focused on his corrosive personality and divisive style of governing. But he alone is not the problem. The vulnerability is much broader and deeper. The ascendance of Trump is the culmination of nearly 250 years of political reforms that gradually ceded party nominations to small cliques of ideologically motivated party activists, interest groups, and donors. Author Lawrence Jacobs provides a highly engaging history of political reforms since the late-eighteenth century that over time dangerously weakened democracy.

We love God. We love our country. What does it look like to love each properly and well? National tensions are at a record high. People on all points in the political spectrum care deeply about their country, although they differ wildly in their opinions about what it looks like to serve that...

How do we overcome polarization in American society? How do we advocate for justice when one side won't listen to the other and cycles of outrage escalate? These questions have been pressing for years, but the emergence of a vocal, virulent Christian nationalism has made it even more urgent that we find a way forward. Pamela Cooper-White uncovers the troubling extent of Christian nationalism, explores its deep psychological roots, and discusses ways in which advocates for justice can safely and effectively attempt to talk across the deep divides in our society.

The Trump administration’s “Peace to Prosperity” vision for the Middle East was unveiled on January 28, 2020. What followed over the next eleven months was one of the most fascinating and consequential periods of US foreign policy in a generation, leading to five normalization agreements between Israel and Muslim states. The Abraham Accords achieved what had seemed impossible for decades and set the Middle East on a trajectory toward a broad regional peace. 

To trace the evolution of the American state, Aaron Good takes a deep-politics approach. The term “deep state” was badly misappropriated during the Trump era. In the simplest sense, it here refers to all those institutions that collectively exercise undemocratic power over state and society. To trace how we arrived at this point, American Exception explores various deep state institutions and history-making interventions.

In an era when immigration on a global scale defines the fears and aspirations of Americans, Crossing Borders presents the complexities of migration through the stories of families fleeing violence and poverty, the government and nongovernmental organizations helping or hindering their progress, and the American communities receiving them. Ali Noorani takes listeners on a journey to Honduras, Ciudad Juarez in Mexico, and Texas, meeting migrants and the organizations and people that help them on both sides of the border.

Das Bundeskriminalamt bittet seinen früheren Zielfahnder und heutigen Privatermittler Georg Dengler um Mithilfe: Er soll die Akten der damaligen Sonderkommission Theresienwiese über den Anschlag auf das Münchner Oktoberfest 1980 prüfen. Dengler denkt, es sei ein leichter Auftrag, doch schon bald entdeckt er die ersten Widersprüche.

Es geht dem radikalisierten Konservatismus nicht mehr nur ums Klein-Klein des politischen Tagesgeschäfts, sondern darum, eine grundsätzlich andere Version der Realität zu erschaffen und möglichst viele Menschen dorthin mitzunehmen. Von der Krise der Sozialdemokratie ist allerorten die Rede. Doch auch viele traditionsreiche Mitte-rechts-Parteien befinden sich im Niedergang oder zumindest in einer Zwickmühle: Sollen sie sich für progressive urbane Milieus öffnen? Oder lieber ihr konservatives Profil schärfen?

Querdenken-Demos, gewaltbereite Reichsbürger, Verschwörungstheoretiker - immer mehr Menschen driften auf der Suche nach Halt und Orientierung in radikale Ideen- und Vorstellungswelten ab, finden Antworten in Chat-Gruppen, Internetforen und auf fragwürdigen Webseiten. Immer häufiger wissen Freunde und Angehörige sich im Umgang mit Betroffenen nicht mehr zu helfen, fehlen Strategien, um miteinander im Kontakt und Gespräch zu bleiben. Wie können wir diesen Entwicklungen begegnen? Dana Buchzik erklärt die Psychologie hinter dieser Entfremdung.

In Real Americans, Jared A. Goldstein boldly challenges the conventional wisdom that a shared devotion to the Constitution is the essence of what it means to be American. 

Wie fühlt es sich an, tagtäglich als "Bedrohung" wahrgenommen zu werden? Wie viel Vertrauen besteht nach dem NSU-Skandal noch in die Sicherheitsbehörden? Was bedeutet es, sich bei jeder Krise im Namen des gesamten Heimatlandes oder der Religionszugehörigkeit der Eltern rechtfertigen zu müssen? Und wie wirkt sich Rassismus auf die Sexualität aus?

Two experts of extremist radicalization take us down the QAnon rabbit hole, exposing how the conspiracy theory ensnared countless Americans, and show us a way back to sanity.

Por meio de um texto claro e bem argumentado de Rubens Casara, um dos nomes mais prestigiados da inteligência brasileira atual, Bolsonaro: o mito e o sintoma joga luzes sobre as condições que possibilitaram a propagação da campanha bolsonarista e seu “pensamento empobrecido”.
