Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Umwelt und Herrschaft in der DDR: Politik,
Book SynopsisDie Umweltbilanz der DDR fällt bitter aus. Doch während die vorhandenen Umweltprobleme in den achtziger Jahren in einen unversöhnlichen Konflikt zwischen dem SED-Staat und Teilen der Gesellschaft mündeten, hatte die Situation gut zwanzig Jahre zuvor ganz anders ausgesehen. Die Verabschiedung des Landeskulturgesetzes im Jahr 1970 markierte einen Aufbruch, der nicht nur eine Verbesserung der Umweltsituation in Aussicht stellte, sondern auch gesellschaftliches Umweltengagement gezielt förderte.Die Studie untersucht die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Aushandlung von Umweltfragen in der sozialistischen Diktatur. Der Fokus ist auf die politische Kommunikation in Eingaben, gesellschaftliche Initiativen und die verschiedenartigen Räume des Mitmachens gerichtet. Auf diese Weise ist es nicht nur möglich, die Hintergründe des ökologischen Niederganges jenseits teleologischer Deutungsmuster ausgewogen darzustellen, sondern auch die Vielfalt des Umwelthandelns im Staatssozialismus zu beleuchten.

Campus Verlag Voting for Hitler and Stalin: Elections under 20th Century Dictatorships
Book SynopsisDictatorships throughout the twentieth century - including Mussolini's Italy, the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, Poland, and East Germany - held elections. But were they more than rituals of participation without the slightest effect on the distribution of power? Why did political regimes radically opposed to liberal democracy feel the need to imitate their enemies? Offering significant insights into totalitarian state governance, "Voting for Hitler and Stalin" thoroughly investigates the remarkable, paradoxical phenomenon of dictatorial elections, revealing the many ways they transcended mere propaganda.

Transcript Verlag Right–Wing Populism and Gender – European
Book SynopsisWhile research in right-wing populism has recently been blossoming, a systematic study of the intersection of right-wing populism and gender is still missing, even though gender issues are ubiquitous in discourses of the radical right ranging from "ethnosexism" against immigrants, to "anti-genderism." This volume shows that the intersectionality of gender, race and class is constitutional for radical right discourse. From different European perspectives, the contributions investigate the ways in which gender is used as a meta-language, strategic tool and "affective bridge" for ordering and hierarchizing political objectives in the discourse of the diverse actors of the "right-wing complex."Trade Review"[This book] remains a valuable addition to the fields of populism and gender studies. I recommend it to anyone looking for critical European perspectives on the synergy of both disciplines." Marco Bitschnau, International Feminist Journal of Politics, 17.12.2020 "A first benefit of this volume is that it shows the fruitfulness of opening a feminist toolbox in the evolving theorizing about populism. A second benefit is that the contributors raise important questions about the different types of right-wing populist actors and coalitions that exist and that use gender (and related categories) as a means for (sometimes strange) coalition building and for criticizing globalization processes (in sometimes contradicting ways)."

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon PC on Earth – The Beginnings of the Totalitarian
Book SynopsisWhat is political correctness? What is conformism? And could one say that pre-emptive obedience is a part of the increasingly prevalent climate of political correctness encountered today? The authors of "PC on Earth" take issue with a fashionable phenomenon emerging from North American campuses that is beginning to take hold in Europe, too: the dangerous consequences of identity politics and pre-emptive obedience, which they define as an essential element of political correctness. This book is a collection of satire, philosophical analysis, travel reports, political analysis, and personal experiences. The authors, all Europeans, present diverse views on a controversial topic. This collection offers readers independent and free-thinking opinions they will get nowhere else.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon The New Authoritarianism – Vol 3: A Risk Analysis
Book SynopsisThis volume continues the series that scrutinizes, from a risk perspective, the current phenomenon of authoritarianism, as displayed by the new radical right (also known as alternative right), and whether it represents real democracy or an unacceptable hegemony potentially resulting in elected dictatorships and abuses as well as dysfunctional government and harm to many parties. The book identifies and analyzes risk issues arising from the radical-right phenomenon in many forms, including the personal safety and security of individual citizens, ethno-religious minorities, and other minorities and vulnerable groups, as well as threats to organizations, public order and national security, to democratic governance, and to international security. As chapters reveal, the cross-flow of ideological, organizational, and dark money support emanating primarily from US corporate foundations, lubricates the fusion of corporate and radical-right interests nationally, transnationally, and globally. This volume gathers contributions from eight leading academic authors and provides a detailed examination of the fusion of mutual interests between, on the one hand, powerful corporate leaders, executives, and wealthy oligarchs and, on the other, radical-right political leaders, parties and intermediary organizations promoting radical-right causes. The two worlds feed off, enable, and strengthen each other. Of particular relevance to the third decade of the 21st century is an examination of the corporate/radical-right stance on the COVID-19 pandemic and the phenomenon of wild allegations and grand conspiracy theories disseminated by the radical-right against their enemies.Trade ReviewA brilliant new volume on the sources, ideas, ideologies, networks, and activities of the Alt, Far, and Extreme Right in world and domestic politics. The book goes beyond the academic study of the Radical Right and corporate power to examine the risk to democracy that such forces pose. It is required reading if we are to understand the forces shaping domestic and world politics today. -- Professor Inderjeet Parmar, Professor of International Politics, City (University of London)"Very well put together, if rather depressing. What a sorry catalogue of loathsome characters this volume reveals. One can only hope that there are some more good people out there than this collection of sociopaths." Gavin Jones, social and political commentator, columnist, and author of A Mental State"An exciting and remarkable read. This book makes an excellent and objective historical journey across the first two decades of this century. Two decades filled with propaganda and hate dissemination, mainly fuelled by the global reach of the internet and social media." The book charts "the rise of the 'Mega Powerful Corporations' and how their collective influence over holding personal data, and providing a platform for extremist terrorists and other criminals to promote their beliefs and activities, ultimately facilitates the dissemination of false facts and fake news." The chapters on negative and positive leadership are "incredibly eye-opening." Socrates Coudounaris, Executive Director of Risk (EMEA), Reinsurance Group of America"Very informative in terms of the authoritarianism aspects and radical-right details. The volume offers a diverse reading and learning in the breadth of the radical-right ideology, whilst proposing strategies and solutions for the challenges ahead. It promotes a response that emphasizes the development of democratic values, scientifically informed education and principles, promotion of social responsibility, and balanced positive leadership. An important and provoking piece of work." Dr Nathan Brooks, Senior Lecturer & Consultant Forensic Psychologist, Central Queensland University, Australia"The arguments felt very persuasive and well-articulated, namely that authoritarianism in radical-right politics and in corporations are the same phenomenon and work together for shared interests."

Book SynopsisIs civil society’s influence favorable to the evolvement of democratic structures and democratic gender relations? While traditional approaches would answer in the affirmative, the authors highlight the ambivalences. Focusing on women’s organizations in authoritarian and hybrid regimes, they cover the full spectrum of civil society’s possible performance: from its important role in the overcoming of power relations to its reinforcement as backers of government structures or the distribution of antifeminist ideas.Table of ContentsTable of contents Introduction Annette Zimmer and Gabriele Wilde Section 1: Theoretical foundations and methodological implications Gender, civil society and nondemocratic regimes – A literature review Eva-Maria Hinterhuber and Silke Schneider Gender in nondemocratic regimes A new framework for studying civil society and gender equality in nondemocratic regimes Gabriele Wilde Section 2: Case studies Civil society organizations challenging gender roles in hybrid regimes?

Sternberg Press Bezoar Delinqxenz
Book SynopsisA techno-fiction novel on the uneasy desire for anti-rationalist ideas on the internet.Taking off along the grotesque evolutionary curve of the internet, this novel by Mochu brings together Japanese otaku subcultures, Hindu mythology, darknet highways, ultraviolent cyberpunk forums, and renegade university departments to forge a transnational narrative that trips through the incompatible fantasies of rationality and civilization, with wormholes through ancient tales, recent cinema, plain-wrong art histories, and pirated philosophical reflections. The novel opens with a case of abduction in India. The operations of a far-right publishing house are interrupted by extraterrestrial influences with political intent. The attack on a science-fiction writer at a beach in Goa seems connected to a bot-propelled puzzle revolving around the defacement of Medieval temple relics elsewhere. A detective specialized in interstellar sociology finds clues that point to a transgalactic anarchist group with ties to online Posadist forums, while Eurasian political theory circulates as noise-objects in Goa’s beachside clubs. Meanwhile, occultist explorers in the sci-fi writer’s story find that the legendary homeland for Hinduism in the Arctic has become infested by “Gradients of Hegelian Unhappiness” by way of an invasive subzero entity buried in deep snow. The detective’s investigations eventually turn metaphysical, settling on impossible solutions spanning the far reaches of outer space.Reactionary behavior on the internet, having spawned numerous retroactive origin stories for itself, takes on a tentacular presence across diverse political spectrums, time periods, and cultural contexts, giving the impression of a vast and tangled entity with distributed intelligence. Fatally fused by a common hatred for the legacies of the Enlightenment, popular manifestations go by terms like “alt-right” and “neo-reaction,” powered by nerdy forums and blog posts across the web. Stationing conspiracy theory itself as the central form of thinking, acting, and concept-making in the twenty-first century, Bezoar Delinqxenz is a mixtape simulation of these entanglements at the borderlands of fiction, insanity, and political emancipation.

Central European University Press TwentyFour Sides of a PostCommunist Mafia State
Book SynopsisThe twenty-five essays accompany, illustrate and underpin the conceptual framework elaborated in Post-Communist Mafia State, published in conjunction with this volume.

Topics discussed include the ideology, constitutional issues, social policy, the judiciary, foreign relations, nationalism, media, memory politics, corruption, civil society, education, culture and so on. Beyond the basic features of the economy the domains of taxation, banking system, energy policies and the agriculture are treated in dedicated studies.

Amsterdam University Press Factional-Ideological Conflicts in Chinese
Book SynopsisThis book reconstructs the factional-ideological conflicts surrounding socialist transformation and political reform in China that were played out through ‘factional model-making’, a norm-bound mechanism for elites of the Chinese Communist Party to contest the party line publicly. Dazhai, Anhui, Nanjie, Shekou, Shenzhen, Guangdong and Chongqing were cultivated into factional models by party elites before Xi Jinping came to power in 2012. Although factional model-making undermined party discipline, it often did not threaten regime security and even contributed to regime resilience through strengthening collective leadership and other means. This follows that the suppression of factional model-making under Xi might undermine longer-term regime resilience. However, Xi believes that regime security rests on his strongman rule, not any benefits that factional model-making may contribute. It is in this spirit that he grooms Zhejiang into a party model for his policy programme of common prosperity, which is designed to legitimize his vision of socialism.Trade ReviewAn excellent piece of work that analyses elite-level discussion and conflict in the Communist Party of China over several decades, from Mao to present-day. This book is a particularly valuable asset to the scholarship thanks to its outstanding analytical rigor, nuance and dispassionate clarity. Prof David S G Goodman, Director, China Studies Centre, University of Sydney Olivia Cheung has researched and analysed the internal workings of the Chinese party and government elite deeply. This invaluable comparative study shows parallels, and differences, over the last few decades in China, and, with detailed examples both from documents and field research, helps shed much needed light in one of the most important but little understood decision making processes of the modern world. Prof Kerry Brown, Director, Lau China Institute, King’s College London This incisive and insightful book offers a rare and novel window into the world of political jockeying taking place at the elite levels of the Chinese Communist Party, and how particular ideological debates have ended up shaping the course of China’s market reforms. Prof. Patricia Thornton, Associate Professor of Chinese Politics, University of Oxford. An incisive and absorbing overview of faction-making (and breaking) in the PRC, and one that is most timely given Xi Jinping’s quest to end elite CCP factionalism. The book is accessible both to those just beginning their journey into Chinese politics and those who are already drenched in the history and politics of this fascinating country.

Central European University Press Tyrants Writing Poetry
Book SynopsisWhy do tyrants - of all people - often have poetic aspirations? Where do terror and prose meet? This book contains nine case studies that compare the cultural history of totalitarian regimes. The essays focus not on the arts, literature or architecture but on the phenomenon that many of history's great despots considered themselves talented writers. By studying the artistic ambitions of Nero, Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Kim Il-sung, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Saparmurat Niyazov and Radovan Karadzic, the authors explore the complicated relationship between poetry and political violence, and provide a fascinating look at the aesthetic dimensions of total power. The essays make an important contribution to a number of fields: the study of totalitarian regimes, cultural studies, and biographies of 20th century leaders. They underscore the frequent correlation between tyrannical governance and an excessive passion for language, and demonstrate that the combination of artistic and political charisma is often effective in the quest for absolute power.Table of ContentsIntroduction Albrecht Koschorke and Konstantin Kaminskij The Tyrant with his Back to the Wall: Nero’s Artistic Self-Expansion Ulrich Gotter Benito Mussolini: “Babeuf” (1902) Poetry and Tyranny: The Case of Benito Mussolini Richard Bosworth Joseph Stalin: “Over this Land” (1895) Stalin’s Writing: From the Romantic Poetry of the Future to the Socialist Realist Prose of the Past Evgeny Dobrenko Adolf Hitler: Excerpt from “My Struggle” (1924) Ideology in Execution: On Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” Albrecht Koschorke Kim Il-sung: “Poem Dedicated to Comrade Kim Jong-il in His 50 th Birthday” (1992) Dead Father’s Living Body: Kim Il-sung’s Seed theory and the North Korean Arts Suk-Young Kim Mao Zedong: “Snow” (1936) Mao Zedong’s Poetry: Form as Statement Karl-Heinz Pohl Muammar al-Gaddafi: Excerpt from “Escape to Hell” (1993) A Poor Despot Descends to Hell: On the Writing and Thinking Styles of Muammar al-Gaddafi Heiner Lohmann Saddam Hussein: “Unbind it” (2007) The Principle of Single-Handed Tyranny: On Saddam Hussein’s Literary Works Burkhard Müller Saparmyrat Niyazov: “You are a Turkman” (2001) ŰSaparmurat Niyazov’s “Ruhnama”: The Invention of Turkmenistan Riccardo Nicolosi Radovan Karadžić: “Sarajevo” (1971) “Nothing is Forbidden in my Faith”: The Metamorphoses of Radovan Karadžić Slavoj Žižek References List of Contributors

Central European University Press Stalinism Revisited: The Establishment of Communist Regimes in East-Central Europe
Book SynopsisThis title deals with the period of takeover and of 'high Stalinism' in Eastern Europe (1945-1955). These years are considered to be fundamentally characterized by institutional and ideological transfers based upon the premise of radical transformism and of cultural revolution. Both a balance-sheet and a politico-historical synthesis that reflects the archival and thematic novelties which came about in the field of communism studies after 1989. It contains contributions analyzing various aspects related these topics for each country of the former Soviet bloc (with the exception of Albania). The essays are based on new archival research, some are reassessments of the author's previous research and others are critical appraisals of the specific literature published on issues related to the main topic. There is a path-breaking comparative framework for interpreting the relationship between late Stalinism and the communist takeovers in former Eastern Europe. A bonus for the volume is that it also provides detailed, sectorial analyses for the Romanian case, something that the field is lacking as well.Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter I: Stalinism - a Takeover Model 1. Stalinist Revolutionary Breakthroughs in Eastern Europe 2. Diabolical Pedagogy and the (Il)logic of Stalinism in Eastern Europe 3.

Columbia Global Reports Putins Exiles
Book SynopsisThe future of Russia lies outside the country Since Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine, some one million Russians have fled the country and gone into exile. Motivated by opposition to the war, by guilt for their country’s deeds, by personal hatred for the Tsar-like Putin, and by a vision of a better Russia, shorn of autocracy, the exiles have mounted an organized resistance to Putin’s rule. The resistance includes followers of Putin opponent Alexei Navalny, dissident Russian Orthodox priests, and journalists feeding Russians back home the kind of coverage that Kremlin-controlled media censors. Most aggressively, some exiles are actively aiding the Ukrainian fight against Russia’s armed forces in hopes of hastening Russia’s defeat and Putin’s demise. Based on travels to exile communities in Armenia and Georgia, as well as extensive interviews with exiles living in England, France, Germany
