Cambridge University Press The Battle against Anarchist Terrorism An International History 18781934
Book SynopsisThis is the first global history of the secret diplomatic and police campaign that was waged against anarchist terrorism from 1878 to the 1920s. Anarchist terrorism was at that time the dominant form of terrorism and for many continued to be synonymous with terrorism as late as the 1930s. Ranging from Europe and the Americas to the Middle East and Asia, Richard Bach Jensen explores how anarchist terrorism emerged as a global phenomenon during the first great era of economic and social globalization at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries and reveals why some nations were so much more successful in combating this new threat than others. He shows how the challenge of dealing with this new form of terrorism led to the fundamental modernization of policing in many countries and also discusses its impact on criminology and international law.Trade Review'I cannot imagine a more nuanced and comprehensive history of the diplomatic efforts of the Great Powers to forge an international alliance against the threat posed by anarchist terrorism at the turn of the twentieth century. Jensen's narrative is particularly judicious in its interpretation as he carefully distinguishes government responses to events of real, perceived, and manufactured events of anarchist violence. His account is rooted solidly in archival evidence, much of it previously unexplored. Careful readers will perhaps glean lessons for our own twenty-first-century wars against terrorism.' Martin A. Miller, Duke University, North Carolina'This impressive and deeply researched study of the transnational rise and fall of anarchist terrorism establishes Richard Bach Jensen as one of our leading historians of political violence. Charting the symbiotic development of anarchist violence and its repression by governments world-wide, in the process dispelling longstanding myths of far flung anarchist conspiracies and government complots, it is indispensable for anyone struggling to understand past and present global wars on terrorism.' Mats Fridlund, Aalto University and University of Copenhagen Center for Advanced Security Theory'Employing his remarkable command of foreign languages, Richard Bach Jensen has scoured archives across Europe and the Americas to reconstruct the world of diplomats and police involved in the first global campaign against anarchism. Meticulously researched and crafted, this book provides an essential historical context for present debates about appropriate governmental responses to terrorism.' Mary Gibson, John Jay College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York'Well before 9/11 and jihadists, there were anarchists and the fear they generated in various capitals throughout the world. No single group in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries engendered as much concern among the power brokers in Europe and North America as anarchists. Jensen has completed a splendid volume concerning these radicals … Unknown to many readers, and described ably by Jensen, were the roles played by the police and intelligence services, which infiltrated terrorist cells as informers or as agents provocateurs. A must-read for anyone interested in the historical evolution of counterterrorism in modern world history.' Choice'… [an] impressively researched and readable history … Jensen combed through police memoirs, newspaper accounts, and diplomatic archives in no fewer than five languages to track how the besieged states came to coordinate their antianarchist efforts. He has meticulously reconstructed two little-known diplomatic initiatives: an 1898 conference in Rome and the St Petersburg Protocol of 1904 (and helpfully includes their resolutions as an appendix) … the author suggests that a satisfactory understanding of the rise and decline of 'propaganda by the deed' requires the history of policing to be embedded in broader social histories. Jensen makes some admirable moves in this direction.' The Journal of American History'Impressively researched and readable history … The Battle against Anarchist Terrorism offers insights to historians of the Left, and perhaps even to contemporary organizers looking to craft strategies that achieve redistribution and resist recuperation.' Kirwin Shaffer, American Historical Review'This is a comprehensive and pioneering study of the multilateral governmental responses to the fear and reality of anarchist violence during 1878–1914. Jensen convincingly demonstrates how official anxieties surrounding 'propaganda of the deed' - political assassinations conceived as exemplary violence to arouse the masses from their slumber - fostered secret diplomacy and international cooperation, reshaped extradition policies and aroused utopian hopes among some governments of a global anti-anarchist alliance. … A central achievement of the book is the explanation of why some nations fared better than others in combatting anarchist violence. Jensen provides a systematic and extensive analysis of the track records of different national governments, with a special focus on Argentina, Austria-Hungary, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain and the US … [This book] is enriched by Jensen's linguistic skills and his enviable command of various national archives. Chris Ealham, European History Quarterly'Jensen has written the definitive work on the subject of European and, to a lesser extent, American and international government and police responses to anarchism. Jensen's book rests not only on a comprehensive knowledge of the scholarly and published primary literature on anarchism and its foes but also on archival work of incredible breadth, encompassing the diplomatic and police archives of Italy, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Britain, Spain, the United States, and Argentina, as well as several collections of personal papers and numerous contemporary newspapers. The book … written in a lively and clear style, stands as a landmark of careful scholarship.' Elun Gabriel, The Journal of Modern History'This is an authoritative and detailed account, based on extensive historical documents, of the history of the campaigns waged by American and European police services against anarchist terrorists from 1878 to the mid-1930s.'

Cambridge University Press Anarchy and Legal Order Law And Politics For A Stateless Society
Book SynopsisThis book elaborates and defends the idea of law without the state. Animated by a vision of peaceful, voluntary cooperation as a social ideal and building on a careful account of non-aggression, it features a clear explanation of why the state is illegitimate, dangerous and unnecessary.Trade Review'Anarchism's case, against the state and for the viability and desirability of a polycentric legal order, receives its most challenging and detailed articulation in Chartier's book.' Hillel Steiner, FBA, Professor of Political Philosophy, University of Manchester'Those who defend the legitimacy of the state (even a minimal one) will be forced to reconsider their views by Gary Chartier's clear, sparkling, and trenchant defense of anarchism. This is required reading, not only within the libertarian movement, but by anyone who works in political philosophy.' Fernando R. Tesón, Tobias Simon Eminent Scholar and Professor of Law, Florida State University'Anarchy and Legal Order is one of the most important books of libertarian political theory to be published in the last forty years. Libertarians have long appealed to the natural law tradition, but no one has done so with the depth and sophistication of Gary Chartier. And no one has done a better job of showing how the insights of libertarian natural law theory can help us see the ways in which real-world capitalism has been deeply unjust.' Matt Zwolinski, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of San Diego'Gary Chartier's book brings together the natural law and anarchist traditions in ways that are illuminating for both. It illustrates the richness of the natural law approach to ethics, using it to make a compelling case for a stateless society. The book is original, insightful and closely argued. It will help to cement Chartier's growing reputation as a leader in natural law and anarchist thought.' Jonathan Crowe, Associate Professor, University of Queensland'This book is a major contribution to debates on the status of anarchism. It deftly combines moral justification with a concern for institutional practicality and bridges the divide between socialist and libertarian standpoints. One of the very best books on the subject I have ever encountered.' Mark Pennington, Professor of Public Policy and Political Economy, King's College, London'Chartier takes the insight that there can be law without legislation and develops it into a manifesto, a vision of what socialism could have and should have been: socialism that does not pander to the urge to run other people's lives. Chartier finds kindred spirits across a wide array of traditions, yet the synthesis that emerges is all his own. Anarchist it is, but this is the anarchism of a humanist, not a terrorist, a deeply thoughtful anarchism unlike anything yet seen.' David Schmidtz, Kendrick Professor of Philosophy, joint Professor of Economics (by courtesy), and Director of the Center for the Philosophy of Freedom, University of Arizona'Anarchy and Legal Order is currently the book to read if one wants to explore the potential and limits of natural law, nonaggression maxim, praxeology based doctrines of stateless social order. Austrian scholars of all persuasions will benefit immensely from engaging with its arguments and the intellectual precedent it creates.' Review of Austrian EconomicsTable of Contents1. Laying foundations; 2. Rejecting aggression; 3. Safeguarding cooperation; 4. Enforcing law; 5. Rectifying injury; 6. Liberating society; 7. Situating liberation.

Penguin Books Ltd Living My Life Penguin Classics
Book SynopsisAnarchist, journalist, drama critic, advocate of birth control and free love, Emma Goldman was the most famous—and notorious—woman in the early twentieth century. This abridged version of her two-volume autobiography takes her from her birthplace in czarist Russia to the socialist enclaves of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Against a dramatic backdrop of political argument, show trials, imprisonment, and tempestuous romances, Goldman chronicles the epoch that she helped shape: the reform movements of the Progressive Era, the early years of and later disillusionment with Lenin’s Bolshevik experiment, and more. Sounding a call still heard today, Living My Life is a riveting account of political ferment and ideological turbulence. First time in Penguin Classics Condensed to half the length of Goldman's original work, this edition is accessible to those interested in the activist and her extraordinary era

Temple University Press,U.S. Against Capital in the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisThe problems of capitalism have been studied from Karl Marx to Thomas Piketty. The latter has recently confirmed that the system of capital is deeply bound up in ever-growing inequality without challenging the continuance of that system. Against Capital in the Twenty-First Century presents a diversity of analyses and visions opposed to the idea that capital should have yet another century to govern human and non-human resources in the interest of profit and accumulation. The editors and contributors to this timely volume present alternatives to the whole liberal litany of administered economies, tax policy recommendations, and half-measures. They undermine and reject the logic of capital, and the foregone conclusion that the twenty-first century should be given over to capital just as the previous two centuries were. Providing a deep critique of capitalism, based on assessment from a wide range of cultural, social, political, and ecological thinking, Against Capital in the Twenty-Fir
