Za zrkadlom politiky
Publikácia prináša analýzy vzťahu medzi politikou, publicistikou a politickou vedou prostredníctvom používania politologickej terminológie. Jazyky uvedených sfér sa vzájomne prelínajú, hoci sa neraz ocitajú vo vzájomnom rozpore.

Lacná kniha Magyar diplomaták küzdelme a párizsi békekonferencián
A második világháborúban Magyarország - az első világháborúhoz hasonlóan - újból a rossz, a vesztes oldalon állt. A büntetés nem is maradt el. a győztesek - bár sokan úgy gondolták, hogy egy igazságos világrendet hoznak létre - nagy csalódást okoztak. Saját érdekeik alapján bosszút álltak. Az igazságos világrend helyett a veszteseket megbüntették, a gyengéket megalázták.
Gantner Péter történész a tőle megszokott olvasmányos stílusban vezeti be az érdeklődő olvasót a párizsi béketárgyalások rejtelmeibe, a delegációt vezető magyar diplomaták, Auer Pál, Kertész István és Szegedy-Maszák Aladár politikai küzdelmeibe. Az említett politikusok nem kerülték el a sorsukat: az 1945-1947-es koalíció évek több nem kommunista politikusához, diplomatájához hasonlóan kiestek a nép emlékezetéből. Hármójuk együttes tevékenysége eddig nem került feldolgozásra, pedig példamutatóan küzdöttek Magyarország érdekeiért.

Budujme stát pro 40 000 000 lidí
Reprezentativní publikaci Jana Antonína Bati „Budujme stát pro 40 000 000 lidí“, jejíž náboj a entusiasmus je velice aktuální a přínosný i v naší době, nehledě na hodnoty, které ukrývá ve svých myšlenkách a odvážných vizích. Vzhledem k významu autora i publikace samotné a po konzultaci s dědici vydavatelských práv jsme se rozhodli pro věrný reprint z roku 1937. Kniha je celobarevná, tištěná na kvalitním rustikálním papíru a domníváme se, že osloví jak odborné kruhy tak čtenářskou veřejnost a vyvolá i širokou společenskou diskuzi.

End Times
One of the most iconoclastic thinkers of our time offers a brilliant new theory of how society works
What leads to political turbulence and social breakdown? How do elites maintain their dominant position? And why do ruling classes sometimes suddenly lose their grip on power?
For decades, complexity scientist Peter Turchin has been studying world history like no-one else. Assembling vast databases mined from 10,000 years of human activity, and then developing new models, he has transformed the way we learn from the past. End Times is the result: a ground-breaking account of how society works.
The lessons, he argues, are clear. When the balance of power between the ruling class and the majority tips too far in favour of elites, income inequality surges. The rich get richer, the poor further impoverished. As more people try to join the elite, frustration with the establishment brims over, often with disastrous consequences. Elite overproduction led to state breakdown in imperial China, in medieval France, in the American Civil War - and it is happening now.
But while we are far along the path toward violent political rupture, Turchin's models also light the way to a brighter future. Drawing insight from those occasions in history where the balance was restored, End Times also points towards a different future: an escape from the patterns of the past.
Big Caesars and Little Caesars
Who said that dictatorship was dead? The world today is full of Strong Men and their imitators. Caesarism is alive and well. Yet in modern times it's become a strangely neglected subject. Ferdinand Mount opens up a fascinating exploration of how and why Caesars seize power and why they fall.
There is a comforting illusion shared by historians and political commentators from Fukuyama back to Macaulay, Mill and Marx, that history progresses in a nice straight line towards liberal democracy or socialism, despite the odd hiccup.
In reality, every democracy, however sophisticated or stable it may look, has been attacked or actually destroyed by a would-be Caesar, from Ancient Greece to the present day. Marx was wrong. This Caesarism is not an absurd throwback, it is an ever-present danger.
There are Big Caesars who set out to achieve total social control and Little Caesars who merely want to run an agreeable kleptocracy without opposition: from Julius Caesar and Oliver Cromwell through Napoleon and Bolivar, to Mussolini, Salazar, De Gaulle and Trump. The saga of Boris Johnson and Brexit frequently crops up in this author's narrative as a vivid, if Lilliputian instance of the same phenomenon.
The final part of this book describes how and why would-be Caesars come to grief, from the Gunpowder Plot to Trump's march on the Capitol and the ejection of Boris Johnson by his own MPs, and ends with a defence of the grubby glories of parliamentary politics and a thought-provoking roadmap of the way back to constitutional government.

Going Mainstream
Incels. Anti Vaxxers. Conspiracy theorists. Neo-Nazis. Once, these groups all belonged on the fringes of the political spectrum. Today, accelerated by a pandemic, global conflict and rapid technological change, their ideas are becoming more widespread: QAnon proponents run for U.S. Congress, neo-fascists win elections in Europe, and celebrity influencers spread dangerous myths to millions. Going Mainstream asks the question: What is happening here?
Going undercover online and in person, UK counter-extremism expert Julia Ebner reveals how, united by a shared sense of grievance and scepticism about institutions, radicalised individuals are influencing the mainstream as never before. Hidden from public scrutiny, they leverage social media to create alternative information ecosystems and build sophisticated networks funded by dark money.
Ebner's candid conversations with extremists offer a nuanced and gripping insight into why people have turned to the fringes. She explores why outlandish ideas have taken hold and disinformation is spreading faster than ever. And she speaks to the activists and educators who are fighting to turn the tide.
Going Mainstream is a dispatch from the darkest front of the culture wars, and a vital wake-up call.

The Digital Republic
A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK TO READ IN 2022
The Digital Republic is the definitive guide to the great political question of our time: how can freedom and democracy survive in a world of powerful digital technologies?
Not long ago, the tech industry was widely admired and the internet was regarded as a tonic for freedom and democracy. Not anymore. Every day, the headlines blaze with reports of racist algorithms, data leaks, and social media platforms festering with falsehood and hate. In The Digital Republic, acclaimed author Jamie Susskind argues that these problems are not the fault of a few bad apples at the top of the industry. They are the result of our failure to govern technology properly, a failure derived from decades of muddled ideas and wishful thinking.
The Digital Republic charts a new course, with new legal standards, new public bodies and institutions, new duties on platforms, new rights and regulators, and new codes of conduct for people in the tech industry. Inspired by the great political essays of the past, and steeped in the traditions of republican thought, it offers a vision of a different type of society: a digital republic in which human and technological flourishing go hand in hand.

Lacná kniha Egy régi udvarház utolsó gazdája
Gyulai Pál 1857-es kisregénye a magyar realista epika egyik első nagy teljesítménye. Haladás és nemzet ügye 1849 után szembekerült egymással. Idegen polgárság foglalta el a gazdasági kulcspozíciókat, miközben a nemzeti függetlenség és az alkotmányos államrendszer hívének tekinthető, számában megfogyatkozott köznemesség jobb híján tétlenségbe, úgynevezett passzív ellenállásba húzódott vissza, s az idegen elnyomás megszűnését a nagypolitikai erőviszonyok kedvező alakulásától várta. A köznemesség kitartását a régi értékek mellett és otthontalanság-érzetét saját portáján nagy beleéléssel és együttérzéssel, de e magatartás anakronizmusát sem hallgatva el mutatta be Gyulai Pál kitűnő kisregénye.

The Dictator's Handbook
Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith's canonical book on political science turned conventional wisdom on its head. They started from a single assertion: leaders do whatever keeps them in power. They don't care about the "national interest"-or even their subjects-unless they must.
Newly updated to reflect the global rise of authoritarianism, this clever and accessible book illustrates how leaders amass and retain power. As Bueno de Mesquita and Smith show, democracy is essentially just a convenient fiction. Governments do not differ in kind, but only in the number of essential supporters or backs that need scratching. The size of this group determines almost everything about politics: what leaders can get away with, and the quality of life or misery under them. And it is also the key to returning power to the people.

The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States
America lost 1.4 million citizens in the North Korean attacks of March 2020. This is the final, authorized report of the government commission charged with investigating the calamity.
"The skies over the Korean Peninsula on March 21, 2020, were clear and blue." So begins this sobering report on the findings of the Commission on the Nuclear Attacks against the United States, established by law by Congress and President Donald J. Trump to investigate the horrific events of the next three days. An independent, bipartisan panel led by nuclear expert Jeffrey Lewis, the commission was charged with finding and reporting the relevant facts, investigating how the nuclear war began, and determining whether our government was adequately prepared for combating a nuclear adversary and safeguarding U.S. citizens. Did President Trump and his advisers understand North Korean views about nuclear weapons? Did they appreciate the dangers of provoking the country's ruler with social media posts and military exercises? Did the tragic milestones of that fateful month--North Korea's accidental shoot-down of Air Busan flight 411, the retaliatory strike by South Korea, and the tweet that triggered vastly more carnage--inevitably lead to war? Or did America's leaders have the opportunity to avert the greatest calamity in the history of our nation?
Answering these questions will not bring back the lives lost in March 2020. It will not rebuild New York, Washington, or the other cities reduced to rubble. But at the very least, it might prevent a tragedy of this magnitude from occurring again. It is this hope, more than any other, that inspired The 2020 Commission Report

The Way of the Strangers
A radical rethinking of what ISIS is and what it really wants From Graeme Wood, author of the explosive Atlantic cover story "What ISIS Really Wants," comes the definitive book on the history, psychology, character, and aims of the Islamic State. Based on Wood's unprecedented access to supporters, recruiters, and high-ranking members of the most infamous jihadist group in the world, The Way of the Strangers is a riveting, fast-paced deep dive into the apocalyptic dogma that informs the group's worldview, from the ideas that motivate it, to the "fatwa factory" that produces its laws, to its very specific plans for the future. By accepting that ISIS truly believes the end is nigh, we can understand its strategy-and predict what it will do next.

Martin je spisovateľ a politológ. Ako spisovateľ nemá o čom písať, pretože nie je o čom písať: všetko bolo napísané, je to priemyselná výroba, robota, inžinierstvo, nie umenie a sloboda. Osud spisovateľa ho ako mladého človeka oslovil ešte v čase komunizmu, kedy spisovateľ mal slovo, váhu a autoritu; v 21. storočí je to zamestnanie ako každé iné, autoritu majú iba najúspešnejší na trhu, nech píšu o čomkoľvek banálnom. Ako politológ Martin padol do pasce rutiny. Jeden banálny podnet jeho milenky ho vyprovokuje a rozhodne sa zapojiť do politiky. Netúžil po tom vždy? Osloví kamarátov v PR agentúrach. Zistí však, že je nikto, že nemá žiadne spoločenské postavenie, že nemá akademické tituly, že nie je úspešný podnikateľ a manažér, nemá peniaze, nepredral sa v spoločnosti. Jeho obraz v spoločnosti je úplne iný, ako sa domnieval. Nakoniec prejde úspešne skúškami a zapája sa do politiky ako poradca. Zisťuje, že politika je vlastne vykonávanie byrokracie, že robí podradnejšie práce, ako robil v doterajšom živote. Dostáva sa do absurdných a bizarných situácií, ktoré sú pre neho ponižujúce. Nakoniec získa dôveru a PR agentúra ho pošle do televíznej debaty. Tam zlyhá a jeho kariéra, meno, obraz sa rozpadne.
