Plato's Reverent City

The Laws and the Politics of Authority

&lt;p&gt;Chapter 1. Reverence and the Politics of Authority.- Chapter 2. Plato’s Laws and the Enigma of Godlikeness.- Chapter 3. Classical Utopianism in Plato’s Laws.- Chapter 4. The Athenian’s Rehabilitation of Tragedy.- Chapter 5. Reverence and the Disunity of Political Virtue.- Chapter 6. Epilogue.&lt;/p&gt;

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER! What do conservatives actually believe? In this powerful and inspiring manifesto,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author and former Vice President Mike Pence pens a 21st-century version of&nbsp;The Conscience of a Conservative.&nbsp;With candid insights after decades as a happy warrior in the movement, Pence convincingly explains why the Republican Party must choose enduring conservative principles over the temptations of big-government populism. Conservatives know that wisdom often begins by consulting the people who came before us. As Barry Goldwater wrote, conservative principles persist because they are rooted in the truth. But this isn't just a book about the past. It's about how time-tested conservative principles can be applied to the problems of tomorrow. Pence explains why conservatives believe our rights come from God and then articulates conservative positions on the right to life, limited government, law and order, economic freedom, the national debt, federalism, patriotic education, the traditional family, peace through strength, and standing with Israel, among many other issues-as well as the virtues of character, civility, and statesmanship in our politics. Few politicians have the strength of character of former Congressman, Governor, and Vice President Pence. Pence&nbsp;is the standard bearer for true conservative values at a time when many readers and voters no longer understand what it means to be a conservative, or why conservative values are so important.&nbsp; &nbsp; In&nbsp;What Conservatives Believe, Pence&nbsp;writes about the importance of conservatism with authority, respect, and candor. As he's fond of saying, "I'm a conservative&nbsp;but I'm not in a bad mood about it." A true statesman and leader, Pence defines conservatism for a new generation in what promises to become a timeless conservative classic.

Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience

What Conservatives Believe

A definitive collection of essays by one of the leading living theorists of social power, brought together here for the first time. In this consolidated summation of his works, Steven Lukes reflects on the central questions and changing nature of 'the power debate' as it has evolved since the publication of his seminal work Power: A Radical View. Including six essays on power as it relates to central themes of truth, domination and moral responsibility, and engaging with nine influential recent and contemporary theorists of power, Power and Domination and Other Essays provides a major critique of a debate that remains as alive and contentious as ever. Bringing up to date Lukes's work on power in one accessible volume, this book is an essential companion to Power: A Radical View, now in its third edition, and useful for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of the history of social and political thought, political science and political sociology.

Power and Domination and Other Essays

An Instant New York Times bestseller One of most influential thinkers today, 'the woman who revolutionized feminism' (Guardian), offers a deeply engaging story of justice and power in America When Kimberlé Crenshaw was five years old in Ohio during the civil rights era, she was the only girl denied a lead role in her nursery play. Puzzled by her teacher's behaviour, she spoke up - and never stopped. That instinct to question power, to challenge what others accepted as fair, would shape not only her own life but the way we now understand race and gender. In Backtalker, Crenshaw traces her journey from a spirited girl in Canton, Ohio to one of the most influential legal thinkers today. Through childhood lessons and painful reckonings - a boyfriend's violence in college, a back door at Harvard Law, the silencing of women in the civil rights movement - Crenshaw learned to see the patterns others missed, refusing to stay behind the lines the world drew for her. Out of those experiences came two ideas that changed everything: intersectionality, the recognition that race, gender, and class overlap to create unique forms of discrimination; and critical race theory, the argument that racism is structural. Crenshaw's voice has since echoed through some of the most charged moments in recent history - from Anita Hill's testimony to the rise of Black Lives Matter - insisting that true justice means seeing the whole picture. Backtalker is both a memoir of awakening and the origin story of a transformative mind. Crenshaw's story is ultimately about fairness and power - and the enduring battle for America's soul.

A Memoir

Backtalker

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on four years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This volume provides a nuanced analysis of the profound impact left by the dissenting opinion in the Tokyo Trial by Justice Radha Binod Pal's&nbsp;ideological stance on modern international criminal law. It consists of a detailed examination of this bold opinion on post-war justice that built the legacy of Justice Radha Binod Pal. Through an interdisciplinary perspective, this collection analyses the contemporary impact of Justice Pal's dissent and his ideologies and how they can impact contemporary dialogue in international law revolving around fairness, justice, accountability and inclusivity in international law and global power dynamics. It explores the intersection of his critique with contemporary concerns such as the decolonisation of international law, the legitimacy of global legal institutions, and the pursuit of a just world order. By engaging with issues such as territorial conflicts, and the role of legal pluralism, this volume aligns with the broader objectives of SDG16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), offering a critical lens on how international law can evolve to promote equitable and transparent global governance. With contributions ranging from analysis of historical perspectives to examination of contemporary implications, the edited volume shall be essential for readers interested in international law and scholars established in the research field of international criminal law, international humanitarian law and human rights, fair global order and the evolving role of dissent, inclusivity, cultural and social contextualisation.

Justice Radha Binod Pal's Dissent

Beyond Victor’s Justice and Pursuit of Sustainable Development in International Law

Building effective partnerships is essential for advancing the circular economy, yet it is also one of the greatest challenges of sustainability transitions. This book explores how diverse stakeholders, including governments, businesses, NGOs, academia, and civil society, can overcome fragmented efforts and establish long-term, systemic collaborations. Drawing on extensive research and real-world examples, the book provides a clear framework for understanding the building blocks, principles, and resilience mechanisms that facilitate effective partnerships. Practitioners will find practical tools and actionable strategies to design and sustain collaborations, and scholars will gain a unified theoretical perspective on governance and transition dynamics. By bridging academic and practical approaches, the book supports progress toward SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, demonstrating how cross-sectoral cooperation can drive circular and sustainable transformation.

Towards Systemic Change in the Circular Economy

Mastering Sustainable Partnerships

This book explores the thorny normative issues raised by the changing landscape of international tax policy. Proposals for taxation of the digital economy and the OECD/G20 BEPS framework promise fundamental changes in the international tax system. The book features perspectives from legal scholars, political theorists, and political philosophers on international corporate and individual taxation. Contributors advance new theories of international tax justice, develop theoretically informed reform proposals and critique influential approaches to international tax reform. Key themes include justice in bilateral and multilateral international tax agreements, the taxation of cross-border workers, fair division of tax revenue from multinational corporations, and the fairness of the international tax policy-making process. This book provides new perspectives on leading international tax policy debates, analyses the intersection between international distributive justice and contemporary tax policy, and proposes innovative ways to meet the demands of tax justice in a global context.

Fairness in International Taxation

Freiheit – ein grosses Wort. Doch was bedeutet es wirklich im Wandel der Zeit? Dieses Buch nimmt Sie mit auf eine fesselnde Reise zu den überraschenden Schauplätzen der Geschichte, an denen die Freiheit errungen, verteidigt oder neu gedacht wurde.In kurzen, packenden Episoden entdecken Sie wenig bekannte historische Begebenheiten neu. Erfahren Sie, wie chinesische Kriegslisten zur Rebellion gegen den Kaiser anstiften konnten, warum die oft verkannten Pharisäer die wahren Freiheitskämpfer ihrer Zeit waren oder wie im alten Athen das Ringen um Gleichheit aussah. Von den Lehren des Konfuzius bis zu den freien Städten des Mittelalters – jede Geschichte wird durch die Brille der Freiheit erzählt.Der Autor misst dabei nicht mit einem absoluten Massstab. Stattdessen stellt er eine frischere, dynamischere Frage: Führte ein Ereignis zu mehr Freiheit für die Menschen als der Zustand davor? Dieser Perspektivwechsel macht die Lektüre zu einem ebenso unterhaltsamen wie informativen Streifzug durch die europäische und globale Geschichte. Ein Buch, das inspiriert und den Blick schärft – für die Freiheitsgeschichten von gestern und die, die wir heute schreiben.Der AutorHenrique Schneider&nbsp;

Freiheit: Stationen einer Idee

Praise for Joseph E. Stiglitz"[Joseph E. Stiglitz] is an insanely great economist." - Paul Krugman

Economics and the Good Society

The Road to Freedom

In summer 2024, France stood on the brink of a far-right takeover. But the disaster was avoided thanks to a New Popular Front of parties headed by long-standing left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon. It won the most seats in the snap parliamentary elections, running on a radical, progressive, inclusive agenda, in large part inspired by Mélenchon’s presidential programme. Now, the People! details his vision of revolution in our time. In this book, Mélenchon embarks on a survey of human history from its earliest moments to the crisis- ridden present. He outlines his vision for a new strategy for radical parties to reach the highest levels of government and peacefully transform the capitalist system: a citizens’ revolution. In this revolution, individuals come together to form a single, politically mobilised people. They assert their power over the collective conditions of urbanised life, against the oligarchy that still controls them.

Written by leading experts in the field, the&nbsp;chapters in&nbsp;this volume&nbsp;explore&nbsp;the many&nbsp;ways populism and world politics intersect, including&nbsp;the importance of&nbsp;populist leadership&nbsp;and&nbsp;global media&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;populism’s impact on trade and the liberal international order. Presented in an accessible and clear style, this book is an essential resource for students and&nbsp;IR&nbsp;scholars,&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;practitioners seeking a deeper understanding&nbsp;of the phenomenon.

Populism and World Politics

Das Land, das Alexis de Tocqueville einst als Labor der Gleichheit pries, ist heute Schauplatz extremer sozialer Ungleichheit. Aus der Demokratie ist eine politische Oligarchie geworden – mit einer „finsteren Unterseite“: einem Wegsperrstaat, einer bewaffneten, tief verunsicherten Gesellschaft und einer Politik, die Hass und Angst instrumentalisiert. Dieses Buch zeichnet nach, wie die Republikanische Partei seit Reagan die Ungleichheit durch gezielte steuerliche Maßnahmen verschärfte und gleichzeitig einzelstaatliche Steueroasen (besonders krass: Delaware und South Dakota) oligarchische Vermögensdynastien schufen, wie sich vererbende Armut und schwindende demokratische Loyalität die gesellschaftliche Spaltung vertiefen und wie Donald Trump diese Bruchlinien nutzt – ideologisch, institutionell und mit Rückendeckung durch den Supreme Court, der dem Präsidenten den Weg für Grenzüberschreitungen freigemacht hat. Vor dem Hintergrund demographischer Umbrüche und eines erstarkenden weißen christlichen Nationalismus zeigt das Buch, warum Amerikas Demokratie an den Rand des Scheiterns geraten ist – und was das für die Zukunft bedeutet.Der AutorDr. Rainer Eisfeld
