Neviditeľní vládcovia
Kniha Neviditeľní vládcovia rozpráva o radikálnej premene moci a o nových silách vplývajúcich na politické dianie, fungovanie samospráv, ale aj na naše vzťahy s priateľmi a susedmi. Dnes už verejnú mienku čoraz viac formujú malé skupiny propagandistov – tí neraz určujú aj to, ako vnímame samotnú pravdu. Naša spoločná realita sa rozpadla na množstvo oddelených svetov šitých na mieru, ktoré poháňajú algoritmy, influenceri a starostlivo vyberaný obsah. Len máločo dokáže preklenúť tieto priepasti, a tak sa stáva takmer nemožným dosiahnuť demokratický konsenzus.
Renée DiResta odhaľuje, ako títo „neviditeľní vládcovia“ podkopávajú inštitúcie, na ktorých stojí spoločnosť, či sú to protiočkovací aktivisti, ktorí zaplavujú sociálne siete extrémnymi názormi, alebo influenceri, ktorí využívajú fotografie generované umelou inteligenciou na manipuláciu nášho vnímania reality. Čitateľom zároveň ponúka novú predstavu občianskej zodpovednosti, ktorá nám pomáha pochopiť tieto skryté sily a brániť sa proti nim.

A Dream Deferred
Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, activist, raconteur, and political candidate, finally gets a book worthy of his stature courtesy of CNN anchor Abby Phillip. Focusing on his presidential runs in 1984 and, especially, 1988, Phillip highlights how Jackson built an unlikely coalition that showed how Black political power could be consolidated. His experience working under Martin Luther King; his organising the SLCC’s Operation Breadbasket in Chicago and beyond; and his roots in the deep South combined into two astonishingly impactful presidential campaigns. Appealing to the working people of urban enclaves like that of Chicago, young people on college campuses, and Black people across the South, he created the modern Democratic coalition - one that has been used by all major Democrats seeking national success from Obama to Biden to Harris. With her expert reporting, natural storytelling skills, and a story so full of humanity, politics, and hope, Abby Phillip has written a rousing popular history that sheds new light on an American icon.
Z Generation
A disturbing portrait of the fascist youth movements warping Russian society and politics.How did Vladimir Putin win Russians’ support for his genocidal war in Ukraine and why are so many of them willing to embrace fascism? This vivid, bottom-up narrative reveals the dark realities of youth fascism in Russia—and the darker future awaiting the country if that hold cannot be broken.Wartime Russia is drowning in fascist symbols. Zealous patriots attack journalists, opposition activists, and anyone suspected of betraying the motherland. Hordes of online trolls and sleek videos of angry young men urge citizens to join the cause. State television terrifies viewers with false tales of anti-Russian conspiracies and genocidal yearnings. Child soldiers proudly parade across Red Square. This is Russia in the 2020s: a land of performative rage and nationalist untruth, where pretence and broken promises are a way of life, and an apocalyptic mindset is seizing tomorrow’s Russians.As compelling as it is chilling, Z Generation shows how Russia has ended up here, and where its young people may be headed: a fascist generation more violent and ideological than anything the country has seen before.
A Return to Common Sense
This instant New York Times bestselling political book is “an essential companion for anyone who suspects that politics is in fact for everyone, and that the time to put skin in the game is right now” (Dahlia Lithwick, New York Times bestselling author)—from viral TikTok sensation PoliticsGirl. Something’s gone wrong in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. We can all feel it, but if we’re being honest, most of us don’t understand it. At the end of the day, we don’t have all the facts, and if you don’t know how something works, how do you fix it? A Return to Common Sense is an “accessible and urgent” (Kirkus Reviews), dare we say fun, guide to how America works and a roadmap to reclaiming a government of, by, and for the people. We fought a revolutionary war for the idea of self-governance and pursuit of happiness—we can’t just give up on it now. To address the crisis, Leigh McGowan offers Six American Principles, rooted in history, that we can all agree make America, America. 1. America is a land of freedom. 2. Everyone should have the opportunity to rise. 3. Every citizen should have a vote, and that vote should count. 4. Representatives should represent the people who elected them. 5. The law applies to all of us. 6. Government should be a force for good. Using the Six Principles as guideposts, this book lays out suggestions for America, to not only find its way out of the mess it’s currently in, but to set a course for a future of which we can all be truly proud.
The Decline and Fall of Republican Afghanistan
A searing indictment of how Afghan elites and the Western powers pulled the rug on the Afghan people, abandoning them to their fate.The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in 2021 was the result of declining active support for the government, and of waste and inefficiency in aid delivery. Yet, while corrosive, these problems were not in themselves sufficient to have brought about a collapse. To a significant degree, they were the result of early failings in institutional design, reflecting an American inclination to pursue short-term policy approaches that created perverse incentives—thus interfering with the long-term objective of stability.This book exposes the true factors underpinning Kabul’s fall. The Afghan Republic came under relentless attack from Taliban insurgents who depended critically on Pakistani support. It also suffered a creeping invasion that put the government on the back foot as the US tried and failed to deal with Pakistan’s perfidy. The fatal blow came when bored US leaders naively cut an exit deal with the enemy, fatally compromising the operation of the Afghan army and air force and triggering the final collapse, with top leaders at odds over whether to make a final stand in Kabul.The Afghan Republic did not simply decline and fall. It was betrayed.
Party of the People
An eye-opening, “must-read” (Ben Shapiro, founder of The Daily Wire) about the future of the Republican party as they unite working-class voters in a multi-racial, cross-generational populist coalition.Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 presidential election shocked the world. Yet his defeat in 2020 may have been even more surprising: he received 12 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016 and his unexpectedly diverse coalition included millions of nonwhite voters, a rarity for the modern Republican party. In 2020, Trump defied expectations and few journalists, strategists, or politicians could explain why Trump had nearly won reelection. Patrick Ruffini, a Republican pollster and one of the country’s leading experts on political targeting, technology, and demography, has the answers—and the explanation may surprise you. For all his apparent divisiveness, Trump assembled the most diverse Republican presidential coalition in history and rode political trends that will prove significant for decades to come. The shift is profound: seven in ten American voters belong to groups that have shifted right in the last two presidential elections, while under three in ten whites with a college degree belong to votes groups that are trending left. Together, this super-majority of right-trending voters forms a colorblind, populist coalition, largely united by its working-class roots, moderate to conservative views on policy, strong religious beliefs, and indifference to or outright rejection of the identity politics practice by the left. Not all these voters are Republican, and in certain corners of the coalition, only a small minority are. But recent elections are pointing us towards a future where party allegiances have been utterly upended. The Party of the People demonstrates this data. Ruffini was as wrong as every pollster in 2016 and spent the intervening years figuring out why and developing better methods of analyzing voters in the digital age. Using robust data, he shifts you away from the complacent, widespread narrative that the Republican party is a party of white, rural voters. It is, but more importantly for its longevity, it’s a party of non-college-educated voters. And as fewer voters attend college, the Republican party shows no signs of stagnation. With rich data and clear analysis, Party of the People is a “deeply researched book” (Amy Walter, editor-in-chief of The Cook Political Report) that explains the present and future of the Republican party and American elections.
Troublemaker
From British high society to republican Spain and civil rights America, the inspiring, wildly entertaining story of Jessica Mitford--investigative journalist, radical activist, renegade aristocrat.Jessica ''Decca'' Mitford was raised to marry well, not fight for others'' rights. Yet she rejected her eccentric, blue-blooded roots, running away from England to become an antifascist and antiracist. Why is this rebellious heroine less famous than her glamorous sisters, who ranged from naughty to Nazi?Troublemaker is the remarkable story of Decca''s life in pursuit of justice, in the Spanish Civil War and the Communist Party USA; her intrepid social reporting, and her relentless antics.

If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution
From 2010 to 2020, more people took part in protests than at any other point in history. But what type of change did they deliver?
From the so-called Arab Spring and Gezi Park in Turkey, to Ukraine's Euromaidan and student rebellions in Chile and Hong Kong, this decade was propelled by explosive mass demonstrations. If We Burn is a stirring global history guided by a single, puzzling question: how did so many mass protests lead to the opposite of what they asked for?
In this groundbreaking study of street movements and their consequences, acclaimed journalist Vincent Bevins weaves hundreds of interviews from around the world into a fast-paced, gripping narrative. Analysing both the successes and defeats, it allows us to understand our world in the present - and offers urgent lessons for the future.
Demolishing Detroit
Pioneering field work reveals how infrastructural systems—buildings, laws, algorithms, excavators, regulations, toxins—maintain white supremacy within the urban landscape For decades, Detroit residents, politicians, planners, and advocacy organizations have campaigned for the elimination of empty buildings from city neighborhoods. Leveling these structures, many argue, is essential to making space for Detroit's majority-Black populace to flourish in the wake of white flight and deindustrialization. In 2013, the city set out to demolish more than twenty thousand empty buildings by the end of the decade, with administrators suggesting it would offer an innovative model for what other American cities could do to combat the effects of racist disinvestment. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research with city residents, demolition workers, and public officials, as well as analyses of administrative archives, Demolishing Detroit examines the causes, procedures, and consequences of empty-building demolitions in Detroit. Contrary to stated goals of equity, the book reveals how racism and intersecting inequities endured despite efforts to level them. As calls to dismantle racist systems have become increasingly urgent, this book provides cautionary tales of urban transformations meant to combat white supremacy that ultimately reinforced inequality. Bridging political analyses of racial capitalism, infrastructures, and environments in cities, Nick Caverly grapples with the reality that tearing down unjust policies, ideologies, and landscapes is not enough to end racist disparities in opportunities and life chances. Doing so demands rebuilding systems in the service of reparative futures.
Pursuing a Public Life
Do you relish the thought of serving in public life, but don’t know where to start? With the honesty of experience, distinguished politician Sergio Marchi clearly spells out all the practical steps that you need to follow. “A call to action for those ready to serve Canada with courage, compassion, and vision.” —Hon. Melanie JolyOur politics are currently suffering formidable challenges. Our national discourse has become more polarized, increasingly divisive, and notably nastier. Consequently, many people are keeping their distance from public life, rejecting a political system that they deem broken and unrepairable. Public opinion surveys consistently reveal that public cynicism is at a record high, coupled by declining voter turnout. Many people are disengaged from public life.The Honourable Sergio Marchi — city councillor, member of Parliament, cabinet minister, and ambassador — relates his experiences over his thirty-year political career. He shares the adventures, policy decisions, and lessons learned in an effort to shed light on the inner workings of a public life, from nomination meetings, to campaigning, to governing, to make it easier for those interested in making a difference to take the plunge into an exciting, meaningful, and purposeful profession.
Police Against the Movement
A bold retelling of the 1960s civil rights struggle through its work against police violence—and a prehistory of both the Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter movements that emerged half a century laterPolice Against the Movement shatters one of the most pernicious myths about the 1960s: that the civil rights movement endured police violence without fighting it. Instead, as Joshua Clark Davis shows, activists from the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee confronted police abuses head-on, staging sit-ins at precinct stations, picketing outside department headquarters, and blocking city streets to protest officer misdeeds. In return, organizers found themselves the targets of overwhelming political repression in the form of police surveillance, infiltration by undercover officers, and retaliatory prosecutions aimed at discrediting and derailing their movement. The history of the civil rights era abounds with accounts of physical brutality by county sheriffs and tales of political intrigue and constitutional violations by FBI agents. Turning our attention to municipal officials in cities and towns across the US—North, South, East, and West—Davis reveals how local police bombarded civil rights organizers with an array of insidious weapons. More than just physical violence, these economic, legal, and reputational attacks were designed to project the illusion of color-blind law enforcement. The civil rights struggle against police abuses is largely overlooked today, the victim of a willful campaign by local law enforcement to erase their record of repression. By placing activism against state violence at the center of the civil rights story, Police Against the Movement offers critical insight into the power of political resistance in the face of government attacks on protest.
A remény ereje
Sanna Marin mindössze harmincnégy éves volt, amikor Finnország miniszterelnökévé választották, és ezzel ő lett az akkori világ legfiatalabb hivatalban lévő kormányfője, aki progresszív elképzeléseivel és válsághelyzetekben tanúsított határozott és bátor fellépésével csakhamar a nemzetközi figyelem középpontjába került.
A szerény sorsú családból származó politikus nem kevés akadályt legyőzve jutott fel a politikai ranglétra legfelső fokára. Mandátumához egy sor történelmi jelentőségű esemény köthető: ő vezette végig Finnországot a koronavírus-járványon, számos reformot hajtott végre a klímaváltozás és a társadalmi igazságosság terén, s végül ő volt az is, aki Ukrajna orosz invázióját követően levezényelte hazája NATO-csatlakozását.
Marin őszintén mesél a kihívásokról, amelyek kormányfőként érték, nem utolsósorban azokról a média által botrányként tálalt ügyekről, amelyek során a magánéletében vájkálva igyekeztek megkérdőjelezni politikai alkalmasságát.
A Remény ereje több, mint memoár: cselekvésre szólít fel. Sanna Marin arra biztatja a következő nemzedék vezetőit, hogy munkájuk során soha ne féljenek önmagukat adni. Hisz az ő története is tanúbizonyság arra, hogy mindig van lehetőségünk valódi változásokat előidézni.

"Sötét társaságokban forgott velem együtt" - írta Kodolányi János író József Attiláról. E könyv vállalása, hogy bemutassa e "sötét társaság" politikai és családi hátterét, azt a gyökértelenséget, amely meghatározta a kommunista mozgalmat, és a József Attila környezetében tevékenykedő mozgalmárokat is. Társadalmi és családi tragédiák, elhagyott gyermekek, eldobott nevek, öngyilkossági kísérletek és egy zseni, aki végül szembeszállt az emberellenes mozgalommal.

Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy?
In our modern world of propaganda, social media enclaves, misinformation, and manipulation, the connection between ''the will of the people'' and political action has broken down, political divisions are becoming increasingly intractable, and democracies are growing ever more ungovernable. Democracy is in crisis.In Can Deliberation Cure the Ills of Democracy?, James S. Fishkin argues that deliberative democracy can have surprisingly positive effects on all of these problems and charts a unique path to fixing them with his method of Deliberative Polling. After decades of applying and perfecting the methods of deliberative democracy in countries all over the world, this book synthesizes the results of 150 applications and shows how the method can be applied to resolve many of democracy''s seemingly intractable challenges. It can clarify the public will and depolarize our divisions. It can be applied to major national and local decisions, it can spread in schools, it can be used by corporations, it can make for more meaningful ballot propositions, it can help reform the primary system, it can scale with technology, and most importantly, it can help reform electoral democracy, help preserve the guardrails that protect the electoral process, and provide key policy inputs in almost every contested issue area from climate change to the rights of minorities.Fishkin demonstrates that deliberative democracy is a practical solution if applied widely and lays out a vision for how to combine elections with deliberation to build a more deliberative society, one that cures our extreme partisanship and leads to substantive dialogues that foster mutual respect and more engaged voters. Deliberation provides a story of thoughtful empowerment and democratic reform, strengthening but not replacing our current institutions.
Stát a moc v islámské právní kultuře
Konstitucionalismus jako politická doktrína usiluje o omezení vládní moci prostřednictvím zákonů a principů, které chrání práva jednotlivců a zajišťují odpovědné vládnutí. Zatímco základní cíl konstitucionalismu je společný všem politickým systémům, jeho teoretické základy a praktické projevy se mezi západní a islámskou tradicí výrazně liší. Západní konstitucionalismus vzešel z myšlenek osvícenství a klade důraz na sekularismus, individuální práva a vládu zákona odvozenou z lidové suverenity. Islámský konstitucionalismus je naopak zakořeněn v Koránu, Sunně a staletích islámské jurisprudence a spojuje božskou autoritu s právní a politickou správou.
Monografie analyzuje základní otázky spojené s fungováním státu v islámských zemích. Po krátkém historickém exkurzu postihujícím vývoj v 19. a 20. století se autor zaměřuje na úlohu náboženského práva v rámci působení státu. Další část zkoumá systém dělby moci a představuje nejvýznamnější systémy vlády v muslimském světě. Samostatné kapitoly se věnují kontrole ústavnosti, ochraně lidských práv a také mezinárodněprávním aspektům činnosti státní moci.
A Magyar Péter-jelenség - Egy politikai felemelkedés anatómiája
Mi tesz valakit karizmatikussá a 21. században?
Miért tud ekkora hatást gyakorolni Magyar Péter a közéletre? Hogyan építette fel önmagát az online térben, és mit látnak benne a követői? Miként jelenik meg a mai Magyarországon a modern politikai messiásvárás és hősmítosz? Milyen demokratikus dilemmákkal szembesülhet az új politikai kihívó és a köré szerveződő közösség?
Metz Rudolf és Kövesdi Veronika könyve pszichológiai, szociológiai és kommunikációtudományi megközelítésben vizsgálja a naggyá válás mozzanatait, a közösségi hit, a vonzerő és a meggyőzés rejtett mechanizmusát – lebilincselően olvasmányos elemzés a mai magyar közélet legizgalmasabb szereplőjéről.

Bože, čí je tahle země?
Nová kniha v Česku mimořádně oblíbeného spisovatele a rovnou ve světové premiéře. Tuvia Tenenbom dokáže odkrývat nešvary dnešního světa jako málokdo, trefně, tvrdě, ale s vtipem a nadhledem. Tentokrát strávil rok mezi lidmi, o kterých celý svět mluví jako o těch nejhorších kreaturách na planetě, kteří páchají to nejhorší zlo. Jací jsou doopravdy? Co dělají? A co chtějí? Vítejte mezi židovskými osadníky na Západním břehu, v zemi, která patří… Bůh ví, vlastně komu. Chtějí ji Palestinci a vlastně i Židé. Žijí zde ti i oni. O osadnících všechna média píšou, ale nikdo mezi nimi nestrávil takovou dobu jako Tenenbom. Jsou osadníci opravdu izraelští ďáblové a jejich sousedé palestinští andělé? Setkává se s šílenci, falešnými proroky i těmi pravými, vizionáři i farmáři, Židy i Araby. Těm všem klade chytré i zdánlivě naivní otázky, aby je vyprovokoval – což se mu často daří – a zjistil, co si doopravdy myslí. Následně, pokud zrovna nesleduje íránské rakety na obloze, skládá obrázek, ktery´ je neobyčejně vtipnou a zároveň alarmující zprávou o Izraeli a Palestině, o světě osad na Západním břehu, nebo – chcete-li – v Judeji & Samaří. V době, kdy izraelsko-arabský konflikt hýbe světem Tuvia Tenenbom přichází s knihou, která má sílu otevřít oči. Za vším jeho vtipem jsou totiž často překvapující i kruté pravdy. Jestli Tuvia Tenenbom totiž něco není, pak není politicky korektní.

Faith in Democracy
Why have some churches in Africa engaged in advocacy for stronger liberal democratic institutions while others have not? Faith in Democracy explores this question, emphasizing the benefits of liberal democratic protections for some churches. The book explains how churches' historic investments create different autocratic risk exposure, as states can more easily regulate certain activities – including social service provision – than others. In situations where churches have invested in schools as part of their evangelization activities, which create high autocratic risk, churches have incentives to defend liberal democratic institutions to protect their control over them. This theory also explains how church fiscal dependence on the state interacts with education provision to change incentives for advocacy. Empirically, the book demonstrates when churches engage in democratic activism, drawing on church-level data from across the continent, and the effects of church activism, drawing on micro-level evidence from Zambia, Tanzania and Ghana.
