A Comprehensive Journey Through Politics, War, and American Ideals

WIE DER GRÜNDUNGSMYTHOS DER USA UNSERE GLOBALE GEGENWART PRÄGT
 
 Für das politische Handeln der USA im 21. Jahrhundert spielen der Rückbezug auf die Unabhängigkeitserklärung von 1776, die Verfassung von 1787 und der Mythos&nbsp;vom amerikanischen »Freiheitsstreben« eine zentrale&nbsp;Rolle. Dies gilt einmal mehr seit dem erneuten Amtsantritt&nbsp;von Donald Trump, der das Land seitdem grundlegend verändert. Aber ging es den Gründervätern wirklich nur um Freiheit, Liberalität und Menschenrechte?
 
 Und welche Folgen zeitigt dieser Mythos in einer&nbsp;Gegenwart politischer Extreme und gesellschaftlicher Spaltung?
 
 Hiram Kümper erzählt farbig und mitreißend die Geschichte einer jungen Republik und zeigt, wie der Mythos des&nbsp;4. Juli 1776 bis heute nachwirkt.

Wie beeinflussen die Gründungsmythen der USA unsere politische Gegenwart?Für das innen- und außenpolitische Handeln der USA im 21. Jahrhundert spielt der Rückbezug auf die Unabhängigkeitserklärung von 1776 und der Mythos vom amerikanischen »Freiheitsstreben« eine zentrale Rolle. Dies gilt einmal mehr seit dem erneuten Amtsantritt von Donald Trump, der das Land seitdem grundlegend verändert. Aber ging es den Gründervätern wirklich nur um Freiheit, Liberalität und Menschenrechte? Und welche Folgen zeitigt dieser Mythos in einer Gegenwart politischer Extreme und gesellschaftlicher Spaltung?Der Historiker Hiram Kümper analysiert die Gründungsgeschichte und das Politikverständnis der USA, die ihren »way of life« spätestens seit dem 19. Jahrhundert in die Welt exportierten. Dem Heldenepos vom »Freiheitsstreben« einer Gruppe weißer Männer setzt er eine vielgestaltige Erzählung vom Kampf um politische Partizipation, um die Beteiligung an Macht und »Fleischtöpfen« entgegen. So kommen auch jene in den Blick, die die Kosten dieses Selbstbewusstseins trugen: Millionen versklavte Schwarze, Indigene und Menschen, die Amerika groß machten, während ihre eigenen Spielräume klein blieben.

In der Einsamkeit der Verbannung, erfüllt von der Sehnsucht nach seiner Heimatstadt Theben, schreibt der ägyptische Arzt Sinuhe (1390 bis 1335 v. Chr.) die Geschichte seines bewegten Lebens nieder: von der Kindheit in einfachen Verhältnissen über seine Kariere als Leibarzt des Pharaos und abenteuerliche Reisen in alle Länder Kleinasiens bis hin zur Verbannung aus Ägypten. So entsteht für den Leser seine Lebensgeschichte, die zugleich eine farbenprächtige Kultur- und Sittengeschichte des östlichen Mittelmeerraums ist.

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.

Istanbul's population greatly suffered during WWI. Sanitary problems, pauperization, mortality rise deteriorated everyday life. The flows of refugees and military mobilization were major issues. Paradoxically, its Greek orthodox community increased in 1914-1918. After the Mudros Armistice (October 1918), it could hope for the Ottoman Empire's dismemberment and the return of Constantinople to the Greek fold. The events that followed and led to the birth of the Republic of Turkey would put an end to their expectations. The deterioration of everyday material life, the loyalty of Istanbul Greeks to the Ottoman State in wartime, ordinary people's position towards Hellenic irredentism are the main themes explored through the archives of Greek Orthodox parishes of the city and those of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

The rivetingly tense and timely conclusion to the Arkady Renko series - an iconic character from a titan of the political crime thriller genre. When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the murder of Alexei Kazasky, the Deputy Minister of Defence, he knows he has to tread carefully. Alexei Kazasky is a high-profile politician and has a complicated relationship with Putin. This investigation clearly has Kremlin approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem. Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his adopted son Zhenya has become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Kazasky's murder, he realizes that the man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed. Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs - but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line. PRAISE FOR MARTIN CRUZ SMITH: 'Does more on a page than most writers manage in a chapter.

Das Monument der Hoffnung

This book re-examines the origins and development of the laws of war and human rights law and exposes an overlooked provision of the European Convention on Human Rights which permits the use of lethal force where absolutely necessary to quell an insurrection. When civilian casualties occur in internal armed conflicts, questions are asked about how civilians can be better protected against the use of force by armed insurgents and state security forces. The laws of war include protection against the targeting of civilians but permit the use of force based on 'military necessity' and allow 'proportionate' civilian casualties. Where those laws do not apply, the use of force is generally seen as being limited to self-defence. This creates paradigms of armed conflict and law-enforcement with very different rules. The paradigms are then treated by governments and other actors as being separate and divided by a threshold of violence, when, in practice, they overlap, both in the conduct of military operations and, this book argues, as a matter of law. Revisiting the law provides the opportunity to reassess the benefits and risks of the existing paradigms and consider how applying the provision permitting the use of lethal force in quelling an insurrection would affect them. The book concludes that it offers a middle way based on the existing law, but it requires wider recognition and development in order to achieve a more appropriate balance between human rights and collective security.

This book challenges traditional legal approaches to military operations in internal armed conflicts based on the laws of war.

Lethal force, Human Rights and the Laws of War

Quelling Insurrection

There is a specific energy to it. Cafes and shops close their shutters. Darkness descends. 'The air begins to tingle', wrote John Dos Passos of twenties New York. 'It's tonight if you drink enough, talk enough, walk far enough, that the train of magical events will begin.' Barely four centuries ago, music, fashion, sex, architecture, art and booze first fused to create what we now call nightlife. It happened, strangely enough, in 17th-century Japan, in a remote marshland outside the shogun's capital. This den of hedonism and iniquity became a breeding ground for new ideas - and while the venues have changed, nightlife has been at the frontier of cultural innovation ever since. Up All Night is the story of the good times and the great ones. Who invented jazz? What did 18th century Londoners do for entertainment? Why was Detroit the birthplace of techno? Who built Las Vegas? And what, in our increasingly online lives, are we missing when we pass up the chance of a big night out? Join party historian Imogen Willetts for a guided tour of history's wildest nights out - piecing together tantalising ephemera and foggy reminiscences from shogunate Japan to noughties Hollywood, and every iconic scene in between. 'Spills over with colourful anecdotes . . . Reading Up All Night makes you want to put it down - if only to step out into the seductive, thrilling night' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'A sparkling cultural history . . . Its procession of nocturnal scenes is immersive, intoxicating and full of surprises' MIKE JAY, author of PSYCHONAUTS 'A jaunty, jam-packed history of big nights out that revels in spectacle and theatricality' EMMA WARREN, author of DANCE YOUR WAY HOME
