This book analyses why Hindutva as an ideology is no longer anathema and what brought about this change. Why did a country that was ruled for decades by people espousing Nehruvian secularism suddenly began to align with the ‘communal politics’ of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)? The book is the story of this transformation.

Shantanu Gupta travels back into the history of the Right-wing movements in India, from their ideological origins to the evolution of their nationalist idea, bringing together a comprehensive study of not just BJP as a political party but of an ideological entity which defines the nationalist movement in the country like never before.

A remarkable analysis linking the assassination of JFK and 9/11, and how both events were used to influence war policy. Peter Dale Scott examines the many ways in which war policy has been driven by “accidents” and other events in the field, in some cases despite moves toward peace that were directed by presidents. This book explores the “deep politics” that exerts a profound but too-little-understood effect on national policy outside the control of traditional democratic processes.

‘चुनावनीति’ किताब जहाँ सियासी पार्टियों के चुनावी हथकंडों के बारे में बताती है, वहीं भारत की लोकतांत्रिक और संघीय व्यवस्था पर पड़ रहे इसके नकारात्मक प्रभाव को भी रेखांकित करती है। यह समझना बहुत ज़रूरी है कि पॉलिटिकल पंडितों ने चुनावों को समझने के लिए जिन सिद्धांतों को सेट किया है, वे तर्कों और तथ्यों के साथ मेल नहीं खा रही हैं। सच यह है कि चुनावों को किसी सेट फॉर्मूले के आधार पर समझा नहीं जा सकता।

In presenting the ideal skills, abilities, and qualities of a successful politico, The Capitol Hill Playbook speaks to today’s generation of staffers like no other book before it. Weaving together Renaissance-era political philosophies and contemporary illustrations, Nicholas Balthazar enlists the help of Niccolò Machiavelli, author of the venerable political treatise The Prince, and Baldassare Castiglione, author of The Book of the Courtier - the authoritative account of Renaissance court life - to demonstrate two models of political life and their applicability today.

In 1989, Francis Fukuyama famously announced the "end of history." The Berlin Wall had fallen; liberal democracy had won out. But what of illiberal democracy - the idea that popular majorities, working through the democratic process, might reject gender equality, religious freedoms, and other norms that Western democracies take for granted? Nowhere have such considerations become more relevant than in the Middle East, where the uprisings of 2011 swept the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups to power.

If you enjoyed the chilling experience of In Cold Blood and were at the edge of your seat while watching Oliver Stone’s JFK, you’ll love this investigative look into all the facets of one of the top conspiracies of the 20th century and beyond. DiEugenio, who has spent decades researching the Kennedy assassination, takes both an analytical and conversational approach to his fascinating exploration of the pivotal historical events and scandals surrounding that day.

In Quarterly Essay 100, Sean Kelly considers the enigma of the Albanese government. With wide yet shallow support, will it change the country? Does it have big ideas, or is it content just to become "the natural party of government"? Kelly gives a definitive account of Albanese's political style and asks what lies behind it. In speaking to a fragmented, disengaged electorate, the Prime Minister places a high value on moderation.

A morte e suas solenidades – embalsamamento de um amigo (vol. 1), suspeita de enterro de um falso PC Farias nas exéquias do ex-tesoureiro de campanha de Fernando Collor (vol. 2) e, agora, a inacreditável aventura de exumação ilegal de cadáveres num cemitério de indigentes, que o autor confessa ter protagonizado neste volume 3 – é um campo narrativo rico que permite a Luís Costa Pinto seguir contando a saga política do Brasil no "universo paralelo" das histórias que testemunhou e maus uma vez divide conosco neste novo Trapaça.

Marxista, nacionalista, populista, reformista? ¿Quién es de verdad Yolanda Díaz? ¿Por qué en su periplo todos sus padrinos la han acusado de traidora? ¿Lo es realmente o es más bien víctima de las trampas de Podemos?

La crisi economica ha messo a dura prova la sopravvivenza dei governi nella maggior parte delle democrazie avanzate. Essa ha inoltre contribuito all'allontanamento dei cittadini dai processi di rappresentanza, alimentando la delegittimazione dei partiti tradizionali e favorendo la radicalizzazione della competizione politica così come il successo di nuove formazioni prive di un vero progetto politico. Le teorie del voto economico hanno da tempo documentato come i comportamenti elettorali siano influenzati dall'andamento dell'economia.

Gli esperti di politica fanno sempre più fatica a orientarsi in un territorio mobile, di cui è facile smarrire la mappa. Anche perché concentrano l'attenzione sui protagonisti della ribalta politica - i governi, le istituzioni, i partiti - e trascurano il retroscena sociale. In particolare, ignorano quei "microclimi d'opinione" che improntano i mondi locali e i rapporti interpersonali. In questo modo, però, molti fenomeni diventano invisibili e inspiegabili.

"Sin complejos" aborda el análisis de la situación actual desde la experiencia de los casi cuarenta años de vida política en primera fila de Esperanza Aguirre, quien hace un llamamiento a todas las fuerzas de centro derecha a iniciar un periodo de reflexión con vistas a reagruparse. Porque solo una derecha sin complejos, unida, que plante cara a los dogmas de lo políticamente correcto y esté humildemente orgullosa de la Historia de España, puede ofrecer una alternativa ilusionante y atractiva a los españoles.

"Il nostro Paese, guidato dal primo governo nazionalpopulista dell'Europa occidentale, egemonizzato culturalmente e politicamente dalla nuova destra, rischia un declino inarrestabile. Rischia di rimanere isolato nell'Unione Europea e diviso al suo interno, impaurito, incattivito e avvitato su se stesso. Impediremo il declino se sapremo cambiare. Riconoscendo senza reticenze gli errori e affrontando le ragioni delle sconfitte. Il primo passo sarà tornare a incontrarci, in tanti, per trovare insieme le soluzioni e costruire un'idea di società giusta."

Desde la valentía y la reflexión, Rosa Díez convierte "La demolición" en un alegato contra la indiferencia y en una apelación a favor de la resistencia y de la acción en defensa de lo común. Nos da todos los datos que demuestran la gran traición de Pedro Sánchez a la democracia española y sus consecuencias para el futuro de los españoles.

O PT se apresentava como um partido que lutava nas ruas e nas portas das fábricas, nas igrejas e nas universidades pregando ética e justiça social. No que ele se transformou após mais de uma década de exercício contínuo de poder? José de Souza Martins, um dos mais importantes cientistas sociais brasileiros, enfrenta essa questão com coragem e objetividade. O audiolivro vai desvendando o PT por meio de passagens que acompanham a trajetória do partido, do início aos dias de hoje. Audiolivro esclarecedor, apaixonado e apaixonante.

It seeks to explain this perfect storm of money, technology, and partisanship that has created two entirely separate news spheres: a small, enclosed circle for the right wing and a sprawling expanse for everyone else. This leads to two sets of facts, two narratives, and two loudly divergent political sides with extraordinary anger all around. Based on extensive interviews with leading media figures and politicos, this book traces the development of the media machine, giving suggestions on how to restore our national dialogue while defending our right to disagree agreeably.

In an era of stark racial injustice and decisive action, Aaron Dixon dedicated his life to the struggle for change, founding the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968 at age 19. Through his eyes, we see the courage of a generation that stood up to injustice, their political triumphs and tragedies, and the unforgettable legacy of Black Power.

R.W Johnson’s best-selling How Long Will South Africa Survive? was hailed by financial writer Alec Hogg as 'a masterpiece in unblemished reality'. Published at the height of the Zuma presidency, it accurately forecast that South Africa’s credit rating would be downgraded to junk status. Johnson warned that this sorry progress might end in an IMF bailout and wholesale change to the political system.

He criticizes the role of money and politics, explains how continuing on our existing foreign policy, electoral, and economic paths will mean a diminished future, and lays out exactly what needs to be done to reverse course.
