Multi-Actor Human Rights Protection at the International Criminal Court
Conversations about the involvement of States in the workings of the International Criminal Court often focus on the role of State cooperation in enabling the ICC to carry out criminal trials. However, there is a dimension to this cooperation that is underexplored. Whenever the ICC relies on the assistance of States, or States otherwise become involved in its functioning, the human rights of accused and witnesses involved in proceedings may be adversely affected. The simultaneous involvement of the ICC, ICC States Parties, and the ICC host State - whilst essential and unavoidable - can insert ambiguity and uncertainty into the protection of individuals, leaving the door open for human rights violations. This book explores this phenomenon of multi-actor human rights protection at the ICC. By setting out the relevant obligations of the different actors, the book highlights potential problems in human rights protection and proposes ways to mitigate them.
Bread and War
'Stories of kindness, bravery and love shine from these pages' Nigel Slater'A brave, necessary account of resilience and skill and the power of bread and connection' Olia HerculesSHORTLISTED FOR THE JANE GRIGSON PRIZESHORTLISTED FOR THE FORTNUM & MASON FOOD AND DRINK AWARDSHow do you source, cook and take joy in food in the midst of war and los? ood is a weapon, a lifeline, a means of survival. Ukrainian food is also a powerful symbol of national identity and independence. This is a journey through mine-ridden, wrecked villages, repeatedly bombed cities, family kitchens and precarious small bakeries and cafes. Along the way news journalist and food writer Felicity Spector shares meals with soldiers, travels supply lines with volunteers and is fed incredible food by army cooks, fine bakers and home-cooking heroes. The extraordinary stories of just some of those people – refugees and restaurateurs – trying to rebuild lives and kitchens after years of bombing, shows a very Ukrainian determination to provide good food for a besieged people.
Children of Abraham
Muslims and Jews have engaged one another -sometimes for better, sometimes for worse - for over 1,400 years. Yet recent discourse tends to focus on only the most antagonistic aspects of the two communities''interactions. Marc David Baerpaints a more nuanced picture of Muslim-Jewish relations, from Muhammad''s first interactions with Jewish Arabs in the seventh century and their shared struggles after the Spanish Reconquista to the ongoing modern conflict in the Middle East. Free from the myths and counter-myths of earlier accounts, this is a timely and indispensable new analysis of two communities, often existing side by side, whose relations will continue to shape global politics for decades to come.
A Kreml mágusa
A kötet elnyerte a Francia Akadémia Regény Nagydíját és szerepelt a Goncourt-díj rövidlistáján is.
A Kreml mágusa, Putyin Raszputyinja, a titokzatos Vagyim Baranov színházi rendező, televíziós valóságshow-k producere volt, majd a Cár szürke eminenciása lett. Miután politikai tanácsadói posztjáról lemondott, számos legenda keringett róla. Aztán egy éjszaka e könyv elbeszélőjének, egy képzeletbeli francia történésznek elmeséli az életét. Giuliano da Empoli az orosz hatalom központjába vezeti el az olvasót, ahol az udvaroncok és az oligarchák ádáz háborút vívnak egymással. Vagyim, a rezsim első számú kommunikációs tanácsadója az egész országot politikai színházzá változtatja, és e színpadon egyetlen valóság létezik: a Cár kívánságainak végrehajtása. A Kreml mágusa a csecsen háborútól a szocsi téli olimpián keresztül az ukrajnai válságig a mai Oroszország regénye, pontos látlelet a hatalom természetéről.
"Mindig is lesznek csalódott, frusztrált, vesztes tömegek, minden korban és minden rendszerben. Sztálin rájött, hogy a düh strukturális adottság. Időszakonként csökken vagy erősödik, de soha nem tűnik el, egyike a társadalmat befolyásoló mélyáramlatoknak. Tehát nem harcolni kell ellene, hanem csak kezelni. Hogy a düh ne lépjen ki a medréből, ne pusztítson el mindent, ami az útjába kerül, folyamatosan levezető csatornákról kell gondoskodnunk. Olyan helyzeteket kell teremtenünk, amelyben a düh szabadjára engedhető a rendszer veszélyeztetése nélkül."
Giuliano Da Empoli (1973) olasz-svájci esszéíró, politikai tanácsadó és egyetemi oktató.

Insecurity Politics
The everyday realities of financial and work insecurity that drive right- and left-wing populismIn Insecurity Politics, Lorenza Antonucci examines the lived, everyday experiences that underpin political disaffection. Countering the reductive portrayals of populist voters as left-behind outsiders, Antonucci focuses on the ordinary, yet increasingly precarious, realities of work and financial instability as key to understanding the surge in populist support in both right- and left-wing politics. Drawing on robust comparative quantitative and qualitative analyses across nine European countries, Insecurity Politics describes the microlevel material and cultural dynamics that drive anti-establishment politics. It finds that dissatisfaction with work and a growing sense of financial insecurity fuel populist sentiments. Antonucci maps the evolving landscape of insecurity in contemporary Europe, tracing its roots to structural transformations of welfare states and deep-seated cultural shifts. Proposing an original framework that combines cultural and economic explanations, the book shows how economic, social, and political factors shape receptivity to anti-establishment politics. Moving beyond conventional wisdom that attributes today’s populism to cultural backlash or globalization, Antonucci addresses a critical blind spot in current research. But Insecurity Politics offers more than a mere diagnosis; it also argues that a nuanced understanding of populist attitudes could inform a renewed political agenda—one more attuned to the complex realities of people's lives.
Remaking Democracy
How can we empower ourselves and our communities to make lasting social chang? emaking Democracy is a guidebook for social change. We are at a watershed moment of rising fascism and rising seas: our institutions are failing us, health crises ravage our communities, and the natural world has been thrust into catastrophic climate freefall.

The Other Fuhrer: Muck-Lamberty and Adolf Hitler
Germany 1920. A new political movement is born. It is led by a charismatic ex-serviceman whose aim is to create a ‘National Community’ in the war-devastated country. His followers call him ‘Führer.’ But this is not Adolf Hitler. His name is Friedrich Lamberty, better known as Muck, and his methods are very different from Hitler’s. He and his followers, who call themselves the New Crowd, trek through the centre of Germany singing, dancing and playing with local people. By the end of 1920 they have brought hundreds of thousands of people out of their homes to join in a ‘revolution of the soul.’ But then an unexpected and shocking development causes the New Crowd to break up. Muck disappears from the scene as quickly as he arrived. The story of Muck-Lamberty’s rise and fall, told here for the first time in English, throws new light on Germany in the early twentieth century. It examines the country’s unique youth movement, the impact on young people of world war and revolution, the strange post-war dance craze, the revolution in sexual behaviour, and the development of new ways of thinking about what it meant to be German - and Jewish. In each of these areas, Muck-Lamberty is compared with Adolf Hitler to find out why he was initially more successful than the Nazi leader, but then failed to establish himself as a ‘Führer.’
Pharma Monopoly
It is no secret that billions of people across the world lack the freedom and right to access life-saving medicines. For decades, people have fought to put this, though, as the Covid-19 pandemic made sickeningly clear, vast swaths of humanity are still left without. The reason: people are actively denied access to affordable medicines by outdated patent rules and economic policies dominated by neoliberalism. It is no accident, and it is not due to the pharmaceutical industry alone. Tahir Amin and Rohit Malpani, two leading figures in the access to medicines movement, examine the origins of this system of rules that champions monopolies and the false god of innovation over the public interest and human well-being. They tell the story of how, move by move, governments have ceded control to and then empowered pharmaceutical companies, making it increasingly hard to undo the damage wreaked along the way. From their unique vantage points and experiences, the authors critique global health initiatives and philanthropists for maintaining the status quo and warn of a future dominated by financial markets and artificial intelligence that will reinforce the worst practices of yesterday and portends new injustices for everyone. Ultimately, Pharma Monopoly questions the foundations of international efforts to improve access to medicines and calls for a new way forward that can rekindle a movement for justice.
2024
In 2024, Donald Trump made a political comeback on a scale that stunned the world. How did the first US president to become a convicted felon regain control of the White House? And at what cost?
Here, three award-winning reporters bring us the definitive and explosive account of how Trump and his advisers overcame a dozen primary challengers, four indictments, two assassination attempts, and his own past mistakes to defeat the Democrats. It is a damning and revelatory inside account of an election that tested American democracy - and which has already transformed the future of the free world.
Exclusion and the New Politics of Hatred
Colin Crouch argues that at the base of all political conflicts are struggles over which types of people should be included in and which excluded from various rights, including the right to exist at all within a particular society. This is more fundamental than any conflict between left and right or between classes, and it gives rise to tropes of inclusionary and exclusionary rhetoric that can be transferred across issues – from ethnicity to gender and sexual orientation, and including demands for nations to isolate themselves as much as possible from contacts with others. Today the forces seeking exclusions of many kinds are gaining ground in the strategies of many governments, parties and movements. Drives to exclude lead rapidly to the incitement of hatred, which leads in turn to acts of performative cruelty and physical violence. Deeply opposed as he is to the politics of exclusion, Crouch seeks to understand and explain its rationality. He passionately advocates a politics of inclusion but, at the same time, he recognises the real obstacles that a commitment to inclusion must confront. While not optimistic about how these struggles will play out in the coming years, he seeks a path through which campaigns for openness and welcome could still triumph in dark times.
Tainted Democracy
The inside story of Hungary’s descent into autocracy at the hands of Viktor Orbán, told by a former parliamentary ally turned outspoken political opponent. Hungary, once the poster-child of liberal democracy, is fast becoming an autocracy under Viktor Orbán. After winning an absolute majority in 2010, Orbán launched a series of 'reforms', fundamentally undermining the country's twenty-year, post-Cold War liberal consensus. For supporters and foes alike, the rise and rise of Hungary's prime minister is a vivid example of how democracy can be subverted from within. Zsuzsanna Szelényi, a leading member of Orbán's Fidesz in its early years, has witnessed first-hand the party's shift from liberalism to populist nationalism. Offering an insider's account of Fidesz's evolution since its creation, she explains how the party rose to leadership of the country under Orbán and made sweeping legal, political and economic changes to solidify its grip on power-from reining in the public media to slashing the number of parliamentary seats. She answers a key question: why has Orbán been so successful, winning widespread support within Hungary and wielding considerable influence in European politics? And how can Hungary's opposition party Together, which she co-founded in 2014, work to turn the country aroun? nderpinned by Szelényi's own experiences at the heart of Hungarian politics, Tainted Democracy offers accessible, nuanced insights into the global rise of populist autocracy--and how it can be challenged.

Why Populists Are Winning
In 2024, two billion people went to vote - and populism won big. Donald Trump returned to the White House. Marine Le Pen surged in France. Reform UK became Britain's most successful far-right party in modern history. Across the West, authoritarian populists now govern one-quarter of the world's democracies.
But is this peak populism - or the populists' tipping point?
From the counting halls of inner-city Birmingham to the trading floors of Wall Street, from the Heritage Foundation war room to the algorithmic outrage machines of social media, Liam Byrne exposes the forces propelling the populist surge - and reveals how to stop it.
Drawing on original polling of thousands of voters, interviews with leading thinkers, and on-the-ground reporting across Britain, Europe and America, Byrne decodes the populist playbook. He reveals populism's five tribes, showing which voters can still be won back. He traces the millions flowing into Britain's populist media-political complex. He maps the rhetoric populists use to weaponise fear and nostalgia. And he warns: democracies rarely collapse in normal times - they fall after the next crisis, when hope collapses.
Pyongyang on the Brink
A briskly written primer on the North Korean decisions, foreign interventions and accidents of fate which have both threatened and, ultimately, preserved the country's dictatorship. This nimble tour through North Korea's history revisits sixteen knife-edge moments when collapse, reform or war nearly shattered the Kim dynasty. Structured in four acts--from the peninsula's partition in 1945 to Kim Jong-un's 2020 health scare--each chapter reconstructs a crisis and asks, what i? egime change has come within reach far more often than we realise: defeat in the Korean War, leadership challenges in 1956, aborted coups, unrest during a currency crisis--even an armed clash with the US in the 1990s. Kim Il-sung's acclaimed biographer, Fyodor Tertitskiy, guides readers through these events, and explores why change failed to materialise on each occasion. His narrative blends the twists and turns of palace intrigue and battlefield drama with crystal-clear dissections of ideology, institutions and great- power competition. Drawing on Korean, Russian, Chinese and Japanese sources, Tertitskiy offers nuance without special pleading. By tracing the decisions, miscalculations and foreign interventions that locked the peninsula into stalemate, Pyongyang on the Brink offers a swift, fresh look at deterrence, engagement and the future of millions living under the Kims' yoke. Is North Korea truly doomed to never-ending tyranny?
The Edge of Revolution
'David Torrance chronicles this decisive moment in British history with colourful, fascinating detail' - The TimesThe extraordinary story of the General Strike of 1926, from the author of the critically acclaimed The Wild Men. On Tuesday 4 May 1926, two million workers downed tools in the only nationwide all-hands strike ever held in Britain. The General Strike had begun, and the country braced itself for what many believed was a moment akin to the Russian Revolution, which had shaken the world only a decade earlier. Industry was deprived of gas and electricity; the buses, trains and trams all stopped; newspapers ceased publication; and workers abandoned mines and iron, steel and chemical works around the country. The General Strike has entered our national mythology. Even though it lasted only nine days, it left a legacy of bitterness that has had a profound impact on politics. Now, a century on, Torrance tells this dramatic story from the perspective of everyone involved, drawing on extensive archival research to recreate those nine days through the accounts of those who lived and breathed it. The result is an absorbing and comprehensive analysis of this unique episode in British history.

Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse
Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse is not just a wake-up call: it’s a survival blueprint to make it through what lies ahead.We have entered “The Age of Collapse,” an era where mankind will suffer severe disasters because of new technologies, such as bioengineering, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and our fragile economic system, irresponsible government, and dependent, unprepared population.Written by Dr. Drew Miller, a former intelligence officer, retired Air Force Colonel, Department of Defense analyst, and Harvard PhD, this book delivers credible, unfiltered warnings about the grave threats facing America today. From AI being weaponized by rogue states and terrorists to an imminent H5N1 pandemic, from the risk of civil war in a politically fractured nation to China’s looming invasion of Taiwan that could lead to nuclear conflict, the threats are real, immediate, and potentially catastrophic.Unlike mainstream reporting that ignores these dangers, Dr. Miller book presents a blunt, evidence-based analysis of current collapse threats. Readers will learn how advanced AI will create weapons of mass destruction, how our political dysfunction and unconstitutional governance have left us exposed, and why collapse is not just possible, but inevitable. But this book isn’t just about warning—it’s about action. It offers practical advice on prepping, bug-out planning, civil defense, and using tools like the Collapse Survivor App to stay informed. It also proposes bold reforms to restore constitutional limits and get responsible government back to prepare for collapse disasters. Controversial reform proposals include banning legislators from having civil defense protection not afforded to all citizens, revoking the US promise to defend Taiwan, and allying with China in a global alliance to prevent super-intelligent AGI that could exterminate humanity.Living in the Age of Collapse with repeated Weapons of Mass Destruction attacks and collapse disasters will initially cause tremendous fatalities and devastation until we have prepared. . . but we can adapt . . . and if we reform foreign and military policies, switch to more rural living, sustainable farming, and local production, change human behavior, the Age of Collapse could actually provide a higher quality of life and better planet than we have now.This book proposes a way to prepare for the Age of Collapse and save humanity. For everyone who wants to survive, Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse is essential reading.
Finding Dad
Peter Bessell was a British Member of Parliament, publicly described as a rogue; an MI6 agent; an MI5 agent; a secret advisor to the US government; a South African BOSS spy; a fraud; a charlatan; a lounge lizard; a murderer; a compulsive liar; a fantasist; a 'grass'; a 'man who operated in the shadowy world of politicians, bankers, fixers, conmen, and criminals'; and a sex addict. These descriptions were not made as some tittle tattle between courses at private dinner parties, they were made by respected people and mainstream publications. It was a judge who called him a liar, and Henry Kissinger who referred to him as a charlatan. What kind of man attracts this level of abuse, and how much of it was true?'Finding Dad' is the extraordinary story of Paul Bessell's uncomfortable discovery of the truth about Peter Bessell, his father, set against a background of astonishing business and political corruption. As a one-time pillar of the establishment and jet-setting financier, Bessell gained international notoriety as the chief prosecution witness in the Jeremy Thorpe trial. But his life was much more than the Thorpe affair. Drawing from extensive research from previously unseen, extensive archives left by is parents, the US and UK National Archives, Paul takes us on a compelling quest to reconcile all the upsetting things he has been told, and read, about his father against his own memories of the gentle, generous and kind man he loved. The story takes readers through the glamorous political and business worlds of 1960s and 70s London and New York, through mysterious work on behalf of governments, and-via fraud, murder plots and sex-to the Old Bailey and the 'trial of the century'.
Why Socialism Struggles
A voice ofreason for a nation at an economic crossroads. There are fewissues more topical these days than government and the economy. Many politicaland public figures throw around terms like socialism, fascism, and capitalismwithout knowing what they mean or defining them for their audience. Butunderstanding these systems and their issues is critical in helping Americansdecide what ideas and proposals for action they should and should not support. In Why SocialismStruggles, economic policy expert Doug Cardell tackles this hotly debated topicwith clarity, logic, and evidence. Written in an engaging question-and-answerformat, this book breaks down complex economic principles into digestible insightsand addresses the most common—and often misunderstood—questions aboutsocialism: What is socialism, really? Why do people keep proposing it? Has itever worked? Drawing from decades of research, historical examples, andreal-world data, Doug explains why socialism consistently leads to inefficiencyand the erosion of individual freedoms. Each answer builds toward a powerfulargument: Despite its appeal in theory, socialism fails in practice because itmisunderstands human behavior, incentives, and the role of prices incoordinating economic activity. Accessible,respectful, and thought-provoking, Why Socialism Struggles is essential readingfor students, curious citizens, and anyone seeking to understand the economicsystems that shape our world—and why free markets, for all their imperfections,remain the most effective path to prosperity.
