Howe N: The Fourth Turning Is Here

The Fourth Turning Is Here

What the Seasons of History Tell Us about How and When This Crisis Will End

Kein Deutscher kennt die Lage besser als erSeit Beginn der russischen Invasion der Ukraine reiste Ibrahim Naber immer wieder bis an die vordersten Linien des Krieges. Kein anderer Reporter hat so nah und über einen so langen Zeitraum vom Leben und Sterben an der Front berichtet - aber auch von den großen Konflikten im Hinterland, von der Mobilisierung und Korruption bis zu den Machtkämpfen in Kiew. 
Naber begleitete Soldaten bei der Verteidigung Bachmuts, und er war dabei, als die ukrainische Armee den Vorstoß in die russische Grenzregion Kursk wagte. Er erlebte, wie die Gegenoffensive 2023 krachend scheiterte und Tausende Ukrainer starben. Er begleitete etliche Frontsoldaten, die heute nicht mehr leben, und wurde selbst Opfer eines russischen Drohnenangriffs. Ibrahim Naber verbindet die großen Linien dieses Krieges, blickt hinter die PR-Fassaden und schreibt, was er bis jetzt nicht schreiben durfte oder konnte.Putin hat seine Politik, seine Wirtschaft und die russische Gesellschaft auf Krieg ausgerichtet. Ihm geht es um große geopolitische Machtverschiebungen. Das muss auch im Kontext der immer stärkeren chinesisch-russischen Allianz gesehen werden. Egal, wann und wie es zum Waffenstillstand in der Ukraine kommt, bedeutet dies für Deutschland und Europa noch keinen anhaltenden Frieden. Der Angriff auf die Ukraine ist der Beginn einer langen Zerreißprobe.

Crypto Degenerates and the Rise of the Global Casino Economy

With one famous equation, E=mc2, Einstein proved all matter can be described as energy. It is everywhere and everything. ‘There is no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil.’ Bill Gates Turn on a light. Start the car. Boil water. Eat. Move. Breathe. Everything is energy. But what exactly is it? And how can we best harness it without destroying the planet in the process? Renowned scientist Vaclav Smil explores energy in all its facets – from the inner workings of the human body to the rise of modern industry and the race for more efficient and eco-friendly fuels. From the laws of thermodynamics to the latest developments in wind, solar and geothermal power, Energy: A Short History sheds light on the invisible network of energy that shapes all our lives, and how our daily decisions affect energy consumption.

A Short History

Energy

The first-ever biography of the most pivotal Justice on the Supreme Court whose decisions, like the overturning of Roe, will drive the reshaping of America, by prize-winning journalist Peter Canellos. When the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, the landmark case overturning Roe v. Wade, it marked a turning point in the lives of millions of Americans. It was also the culmination of a decades-long movement whose grievances were embodied by the man who wrote the court’s opinion: Samuel Anthony Alito Jr. Steely in his demeanor, with an impassive appearance that defies changing fashions, Alito could be the family lawyer in a 1960s television drama. But when he talks there is an emotional undercurrent, a fast-flowing stream beneath a placid surface. This is a man driven to push boundaries and mold ideas. His aim is to right the wrongs of the past six decades, as he saw them. He was the prized son of an Italian-born father and a mother whose parents emigrated from Italy shortly before her birth, worked their way into the middle class despite anti-Catholic prejudice and humiliating setbacks like evictions, and exacting big achievement demands of their children. But his family’s values came under attack during the sixties and later when Alito was at Princeton as the Vietnam war raged, women demanded equality, and their brand of patriotism was devalued. The Federalist Society provided a safe space for Alito and those like him, and he moved fast up the judicial ladder to eventually land on the Supreme Court. There he has been aggressive in pushing the law in new, conservative directions—from pushing for expanding rights for the religious conservatives, overturning affirmative action, extending the right to bear arms to thwart gun controls, and reducing the power of the Environmental Protection Agency. And finally—most crucial to his legacy—he was the author of Dobbs v. Jackson, bringing the conservative legal movement full circle in overruling Roe v. Wade. His ethnic and religious background, his intellectual confidence, and his unyielding determination are all illustrative of a group of men and women who, beset by grievance, embarked on a decades-long mission to change the rules that govern society.

Sam Alito and the Triumph of the Conservative Legal Movement

Revenge for the Sixties

This book offers the first ever in-depth analysis of the emerging constitutionalism in South Sudan and the challenges it faces. The book critically analyses the constitution-making processes that occurred in South Sudan between 2005 and 2011, finding, among other things, that there was a failure of constitutional discourse, particularly in relation to the 2011 drafting process of the Transitional Constitution. It goes on to analyse how the constitution is being implemented. It finds that, despite the clear division of powers and functions between the national government and the sub-national governments, what has emerged in South Sudan in the post-constitution-making period is a form of coercive centralism where the national government controls much of the political decision-making process. This has had serious implications for democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law. Finally, bearing in mind the failure in both how the transitional constitution was made and how it is being implemented, the book undertakes a critical analysis of the proposed process for drafting a new constitution for South Sudan. It identifies serious shortcomings and proposes how these could be addressed to enhance the process.

Challenges and Opportunities

Emerging Constitutionalism in South Sudan

A deep, intimate, and revelatory portrait of RBG from her two authorized biographers, who had unprecedented access to the Justice and her papers. Long before she was “The Notorious RBG,” before she was Justice Ginsburg or Judge Ginsburg or Professor Ginsburg, before she was even Ruth, she was Kiki—a nickname bestowed on the squirmy newborn by her big sister. Kiki grew up to be a feminist icon. After she died, she was criticized for not giving a Democratic President the chance to name her successor. What happened in between often gets lost—until now. In Justice Undaunted, Hartnett and Williams offer a full picture of the woman and the jurist, and why those two parts of her were so deeply intertwined. The book contains new revelations about Ginsburg’s life and legacy, her behind the scenes role in several landmark cases, and her relationships with her colleagues on the Court. She was exacting and demanding. Imbued with an innate sense of fairness and a deep personal gift for making alliances when possible. A compartmentalizer at heart with a strong desire to “not look back,” which made possible her legendary productivity but could sometimes hinder her capacity for critical self-reflection. Reserved and socially awkward to some who didn’t know her well, while fiercely loyal and empathetic to clients, colleagues, friends and family. A surprising adventure seeker, even white-water rafting and parasailing, and horseback-riding into her eighties. But ultimately, this biography—more than twenty years in the making and based on exclusive interviews with the Justice, her family, colleagues, and friends from all stages of her life, her private papers and even her honeymoon diary—shows what it took for a woman of her generation not only to conquer the sexist world of the law, but to leave an indelible mark that would better the lives of women—and men—after her.

A History of the American Struggle to Tax the Rich

Make Them Pay

Why the consequences of a prolonged period of weaker economic growth will be more profound than anyone dares to predictIn the heady progress of the post-war era, our lifestyles changed, our political systems adapted, and rapid economic growth became the model of every developed economy. But this prevailing consensus is falling apart around us. Growth is now, at best, no more than anaemic. Policymakers dream about an AI revolution and tweak their fiscal rules to accommodate a newly-austere economic reality but, all the while, government debt soars, financial markets become increasingly jittery, and voters lose trust in their politicians.Celebrated economist Stephen D. King asks how our politics will adapt to such persistently low growth. While leaders make fiscal promises based on a future that is unlikely to materialise, nationalism thrives, battlelines are drawn between perceived winners and losers, and the rules-based international order crumbles. The absence of growth triggers invidious political wrangling over tax, welfare, defence and infrastructure, intensifies competition for resources, and leads to social instability.King shows how our new world is governed by them-and-us divisions over limited economic spoils. This is the political economy of plunder.&nbsp;

Winners and Losers in the Low Growth Era

The Age of Plunder

Examines whether the rule of law can endure without its natural law and metaphysical foundations, arguing for a renewed, human-centered legal order grounded in objective moral principles and capable of addressing contemporary challenges such as AI, technocracy, and decolonization.
This provocative interdisciplinary volume addresses a mounting global crisis: the erosion of the rule of law in an increasingly secular and technological world. As societies move into what the authors call the "fourth era" of legal history, the rule of law is frequently reduced to a mere "toolkit" for elites or a "checklist" for bureaucratic efficiency, stripped of its deeper moral and transcendent roots. The book explores a vital question: can legal systems remain just when they are "truncated of transcendence" and disconnected from a higher moral order? By sifting through the legacies of legal giants like Lon Fuller and theologians like Karl Barth, the contributors argue that a purely procedural "inner morality" is insufficient to protect human dignity against authoritarian relapses or the cold logic of "technocratisation." 
Central to the book's unique vision is a multivalent, pluralistic re-envisioning of global norms. Drawing on the Christian philosophy of Herman Dooyeweerd, specifically his concept of "sphere sovereignty," the authors propose a framework where diverse religious and secular traditions can collaborate without sacrificing their distinct identities. This approach offers a powerful way to decolonize the rule of law, moving away from "one-size-fits-all" Western impositions toward a culturally sensitive synthesis of universal principles and local traditions. 
The text also tackles the controversial relationship between Natural Law and the 10 Commandments, debating whether positive laws should be grounded in "naturally knowable" truths or specific religious revelations in a pluralistic state. 
Looking toward the future, the authors issue a stark warning against the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) in legal adjudication. They argue that replacing human value judgments with machine-driven algorithms threatens to eliminate the discretion and relational interaction essential to true justice. To counter this, the book calls for educational reform and a shift toward "principled legal education" that prioritizes ethics, restorative justice, and a "facts first" approach. Ultimately, this work is a call to action for legal professionals, theologians, and the public to reclaim law as a framework for human flourishing-a "language of love" between the divine and the human that protects the vulnerable from the arbitrary exercise of power.

Reclaiming Justice Through Natural Law

The Rule of Law, Human Dignity and the Future of Democracy

Gute Bürokratie stärkt die DemokratieWas kommt einem in den Sinn, wenn man das Wort 'Bürokratie' hört? Komplizierte Formulare, lange Warteschlangen, Unflexibilität und oft eine engstirnige Haltung. Aber muss das so sein? Dieses Buch zeigt: Bürokratie kann tatsächlich anders sein - zugewandt, beweglich, zukunftsfähig und fortschrittlich. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele zeigen die Autoren, dass diese Vision vielerorts bereits Realität ist. Und angesichts der dramatischen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit wird sie dringender gebraucht denn je zuvor. 
Alltägliche Begegnungen mit der öffentlichen Verwaltung - etwa bei der Beantragung eines Führerscheins oder der Ummeldung einer Wohnung - sind entscheidende Kontaktpunkte zwischen Bürgerinnen und Bürgern und dem Staat. An diesen kleinen Begegnungen und erst recht an den größeren beurteilen Menschen, wie gut der Staat funktioniert, wie vertrauenswürdig er ist und wie gut er für die Zukunft gerüstet ist. Die gute Nachricht ist: Es gibt bereits eine Bewegung, die unsere öffentlichen Verwaltungen neu denkt und neu gestaltet - und Lösungen entwickelt, um besser mit uns allen in Verbindung zu treten. 
&nbsp;Vergessen wir nicht: Eine gute Bürokratie ist ein machtvolles Instrument zur Stärkung der Demokratie.

Foundations of Public Policy: Theory, Process, and Practice from the Global South offers students and practitioners a new way of thinking about policy that is both globally informed and locally grounded. Drawing on cases such as doorstep food delivery program, community-driven welfare models, and digital governance experiments, the book shows how theory can illuminate practice, and how practice can reshape theory. Unlike most textbooks that rely on Global North examples, this book centres the Global South as a site of theory-building. It introduces students to the ontological and epistemological foundations of policy, then moves through its grammar, types, actors, and implementation before presenting policy frameworks from both the global north and south with case studies from the global south, which captures the complex and iterative nature of decision-making in our governance ecosystem. Each chapter blends conceptual clarity with pedagogy. Reflective prompts and learning competencies guide readers to connect policy science with lived governance case studies discussed in each chapter. By the final chapter, readers are equipped to critically analyse emerging challenges such as digitalisation, citizen participation, and algorithmic policy.This is more than a theoretical text: it is a handbook for public policy learners in the Global South and a comparative resource for Global North readers seeking to understand policymaking beyond Western assumptions.
