Not so long ago, Russia under Putin appeared to be a corrupt state run by an elite mainly interested in their own privileges and wealth: authoritarian but not fundamentally expansionist. The 2022 invasion of Ukraine made it clear that Putin is driven by far more than simply greed. Putin's Russia is, Andrei Kolesnikov argues, in the grip of intense ideological radicalization, seeking to mobilize its population in support of a form of chauvinistic neo-imperialism using increasingly totalitarian methods. This march towards "hybrid totalitarianism" is driven by a messianic view of Russia as a superior, "spiritual" form of "state-civilization" underpinned by its Orthodox faith and hatred of Western "decadence." Based upon a falsified version of history and a profound hostility to modernization, this ideology is making Russia an international pariah and condemning its citizens to endless war and economic stagnation. The only hope for redemption is a profound moral regeneration which redefines the nation's place in the world and embraces the spirit of democracy. This incisive analysis of the ideological dynamics of late Putinism, written by a leading Russian scholar and journalist, is an indispensable guide to understanding the country's recent descent into war-mongering barbarism.

How Putin's Ideology Took the Nation Hostage

The Closing of the Russian Mind

Society and the Environment

As national governments and global institutions fail to address climate change, an increasing number of cities have committed to major sustainability and climate strategies. Why do some cities take bold action while others remain on the sidelines? Christof Brandtner shows that city climate action is not simply a matter of political will: It is an organizational problem. Cities do not act alone. They are embedded within both a broad institutional superstructure of professional networks and peer cities as well as a deep organizational infrastructure of civil society organizations, public agencies, and socially responsible firms. This dual embeddedness shapes cities' capacity to plan, learn, lead, and scale sustainability solutions. Drawing on comparative research spanning fifteen years and thousands of cities around the world, Brandtner traces how environmental strategies, sustainability practices, and green building initiatives emerge, diffuse, and take hold. He uncovers the structural conditions that enable and inhibit meaningful climate action, revealing why it varies so widely across cities. By combining lenses from urban theory and organizational sociology, Cities in Action sheds light on how cities navigate their social and institutional environments to meet the climate challenge. This book offers a novel perspective for scholars, policy makers, and practitioners seeking not just to explain but also to empower city action.

Cities in Action

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “After his spectacular Lincoln in the Bardo, Saunders returns . . . with a new novel even more spectacular than the last.”—Los Angeles Times A “daring” (Time) novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling, Booker Prize–winning author of A Swim in a Pond in the Rain and Tenth of December, taking place at the bedside of an oil company CEO in the twilight hours of his life as he is ferried from this world into the next “Vibrant, fiendishly clever . . . Vigil is pure Saunders: the death of empathy, he insists, is greatly exaggerated.”—The Boston Globe Not for the first time, Jill “Doll” Blaine finds herself hurtling toward earth, reconstituting as she falls, right down to her favorite black pumps. She plummets towards her newest charge, yet another soul she must usher into the afterlife, and lands headfirst in the circular drive of his ornate mansion. She has performed this sacred duty 343 times since her own death. Her charges, as a rule, have been greatly comforted in their final moments. But this charge, she soon discovers, isn’t like the others. The powerful K. J. Boone will not be consoled, because he has nothing to regret. He lived a big, bold, epic life, and the world is better for it. Isn’t it? Vigil transports us, careening, through the wild final evening of a complicated man. Visitors begin to arrive (worldly and otherworldly, alive and dead), clamoring for a reckoning. Birds swarm the dying man’s room; a black calf grazes on the love seat; a man from a distant, drought-ravaged village materializes; two oil-business cronies from decades past show up with chilling plans for Boone’s postdeath future. With the wisdom, playfulness, and explosive imagination we’ve come to expect, George Saunders takes on the gravest issues of our time—the menace of corporate greed, the toll of capitalism, the environmental perils of progress—and, in the process, spins a tale that encompasses life and death, good and evil, and the thorny question of absolution.

A Novel

Vigil

Astonishing, unconstrained, and often unsettling-the presidential pardon is one of the most powerful tools in American government, and this indispensable book is your guide to how it defines the presidency, justice, and politics. The Constitution's Pardon Clause grants the president a power unmatched in scope and consequence. In The Presidential Pardon, legal scholar Saikrishna Prakash explores how this brief clause has grown into the most expansive and controversial tool of the modern presidency. Originally intended as a mechanism of mercy-to temper harsh laws and foster reconciliation-the pardon was once used with solemnity and circumspection. Today, it has evolved into a blunt and potent political instrument. Presidents use it to shield allies, reward supporters, fulfill campaign promises, and make political statements. In January 2025, for instance, the outgoing and incoming presidents issued major pardons-one to protect relatives and allies, the other to deliver on a pledge to his electoral coalition. These actions mark a turning point: the pardon power is no longer a curious exception to politics but increasingly a feature of it. Pardons have become a continuation of politics by other means. Prakash, a preeminent expert on constitutional law and the executive branch of government, delivers an engaging and accessible analysis of this transformation. The Presidential Pardon brings together little-known history, sharp political insight, and learned constitutional interpretation in a timely examination of executive power. As the partisan exercise of pardon grows more routine, Prakash asks: Can our rule of law survive a presidential power that is checked by no one?

The Short Clause with a Long, Troubled History

The Presidential Pardon

This volume offers a comprehensive examination of Hans Kelsen's legal and political philosophy, focusing on four central themes. The first part analyses Kelsen's theory of norms, including its periodisation and concepts of validity and coercion. The second part explores his perspectives on international law, addressing its structural analysis, primitive law characterisation, and teleology. The third part examines Kelsen's theory of democracy, its relationship with the pure theory of law, collective will, and democratisation of the administration. The final part discusses Kelsen's influence on the Vienna School of Legal Theory and its impact on case law and jurisprudence beyond Europe. This collection is essential for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand Kelsen's legacy.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

Vor dem Hintergrund rückläufiger Eingangszahlen an den Zivilgerichten und der wachsenden Bedeutung privater Streitbeilegungsplattformen analysiert die Arbeit das Potenzial KI-gestützter Entscheidungssysteme zur Entlastung der Justiz. Sie analysiert die Ursachen des Rückgangs und diskutiert gesetzgeberische Reformansätze. Eine erfolgreiche Reform könnte die Fallzahlen zwar steigern, zugleich aber die justiziellen Ressourcen zusätzlich belasten. Um dieser potenziellen Überlastung zu begegnen, identifiziert die Arbeit KI-Werkzeuge als Schlüsseltechnologie im Rahmen der richterlichen Entscheidungsfindung und analysiert die damit verbundenen technischen und verfassungsrechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen.

The Che Guevara Library

En una carta a su madre en 1954, un joven Ernesto Guevara escribió: "Las Américas serán el teatro de mis aventuras de una manera mucho más significativa de lo que yo hubiera creído". En America Latina se&nbsp;narra la historia de esas aventuras, trazando la evolución del Che desde el joven e impresionable estudiante de medicina al "guerrillero heroico", asesinado a sangre fría en Bolivia. A lo largo de diecisiete años, esta antología se nutre de los archivos personales de su familia y ofrece lo mejor de los escritos del Che: ejemplos de su periodismo, ensayos, discursos, cartas e incluso poemas. A medida que el Che documenta sus primeros viajes por América Latina, su participación en las revoluciones guatemalteca y cubana, y su ascenso a la prominencia internacional bajo el mando de Fidel Castro, vemos cómo su ferviente compromiso con la justicia social moldeó y fue moldeado por el continente al que llamó hogar. Casi la mitad de este libro se publica por primera vez y es anterior a la llegada del Che a Cuba con la expedición guerrillera de Fidel Castro en 1956. También se incluyen sus notas para su libro inacabado, The Social Role of Doctors in Latin America.

This essential guide sets out the core legal and procedural issues for developing principled litigation and compliance strategies in human trafficking and modern slavery cases. Bridging disciplines and jurisdictions, it draws on domestic, European, and international frameworks, warning against siloed approaches and advocating cohesive, lawful decision-making. The codification of slavery, forced labour, servitude, and trafficking is analysed in depth, with clear explanations of how reforms, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015, Nationality and Borders Act 2022, and Illegal Migration Act 2023, reshape UK law and its relationship with international standards, including evolving ICC jurisprudence. Positive obligations under Article 4 ECHR run throughout, with expert analysis of key developments such as VCL v UK, Begum v SSHD, World Uyghur Congress v NCA and R v Webb &amp; Somerset How. The Third Edition expands coverage with new chapters on supply chain accountability, transnational corporate remedies, and trauma informed practice. It incorporates novel scholarship and offers practical tools for practitioners and judges managing cases involving victims of exploitation, whether as victims or defendants. Step-by-step guidance includes jury directions, routes to verdict, and identifying victims of trafficking and modern slavery, a frequent point of appellate criticism. Recognised as the practitioner's 'bible', it remains the definitive single-source reference for this complex and evolving field. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Immigration and Nationality Law online service.

Governments around the world are privatizing everything, with dramatic but largely ignored negative consequences for human rights. This open access book outlines the response that is urgently needed.

Destroying the Social Contract and Empowering Corporate Actors

Privatizing Human Rights

The language of the far right is now in the mouths of our mainstream political leaders, from Labour to the Conservatives. In 2025 we saw the biggest far-right march in Britain's history, after a summer of flag-waving protest. The year before, racist mobs tried to attack mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers. Something incredibly dangerous has been unleashed and yet our political class seems at best indifferent and at worst to welcome it. In this short, urgent and brilliantly illuminating book, Daniel Trilling explains how we arrived at this extraordinary moment and what we can do to change course before it's too late. Praise for Daniel Trilling: 'Racism and the rise of the far right in Britain are often discussed but rarely understood. Daniel Trilling is an exception . . . his voice must be heard' - Owen Jones, author of Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class 'Combining forensic enquiry with moral passion, Daniel Trilling has emerged as one of our most intrepid and resourceful reporters' - Pankaj Mishra, Windham-Campbell Prize-winning author of The World After Gaza

How the British establishment made the far right respectable

If We Tolerate This

In seinem neuen Essay seziert Byung-Chul Han mit analytischer Schärfe und poetischer Tiefe den dramatischen Verfall einer zentralen sozialen Tugend: Respekt. Was einst das Fundament des Zusammenlebens war, droht heute in einer von Narzissmus, Wettbewerb und digitaler Enthemmung geprägten Gesellschaft zu verschwinden.Han entfaltet eine vielschichtige Diagnose unserer Gegenwart: Die neoliberale Leistungsgesellschaft produziert Verlierer, die sich selbst hassen und andere verachten. Der Kampf um Respekt wird zum Kampf um Status - und damit zur Ursache für Spaltung, Gewalt und gesellschaftliche Zersetzung. In den sozialen Medien wird Respekt durch Aufmerksamkeit ersetzt, Höflichkeit durch Shaming, Gemeinschaft durch Communitys, die keine Solidarität kennen. Han zeigt, wie Respekt, Selbstachtung und soziale Bindung miteinander verwoben sind - und wie ihr Verlust zu einem täglichen Bürgerkrieg en miniature führt, der die Gesellschaft von innen heraus zerfrisst. 

 Doch Byung-Chul Han bleibt nicht bei der Kritik stehen. Er entwirft eine Vision für eine neue Politik der Freundschaft, für ein respektgeleitetes Miteinander, das auf Distanz, Aufmerksamkeit und gegenseitiger Anerkennung beruht. Respekt ist für ihn kein Luxus, sondern die Voraussetzung für Demokratie, Diskurs und ein gelingendes Leben.
