Taylor & Francis Ltd Resistance Power and Conceptions of Political
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive analysis of Islamist organizations'' conceptions of political order based on a comparative case study of the Shiite Lebanese Hezbollah and the Sunni Palestinian Hamas. Connecting Islamism research, Critical Constructivist norm research, and resistance studies from the field of International Relations Theory, it demonstrates that resistance constitutes both organizations'' core norm and is relevant for their conceptions of political order. Based on primary Arabic data the book illustrates that the core norm of resistance, deeply intertwined with both organizations'' interactions towards power preservation and the specific political context they are engaged in, characterizes Hezbollah''s and Hamas'' respective conceptions of political order and explains the differences between them. In contrast to common perceptions presented in research, politics, and the media, the book shows that in the case of both Hezbollah and Hamas the religioTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Ideology of Political Reactionaries
Book SynopsisThe Ideology of Political Reactionaries offers a new perspective on the beliefs reactionaries share, presenting a theory of reactionary ideology in the process. Rather than taking self-contradictions in the reactionary imagination as a reason for diminishment, complexity is taken as a challenge.The book argues that the features that unite reactionaries lie in rhetoric. Reactionaries make three persuasive appeals: to decadence, conspiracy, and indignation. They also display some recurrent styles. The book's rhetorical approach entails a critique of the alternative approaches to reactionary politics (dubbed as dispositional', sociological', and conceptual'). At the heart of the book is the textual analysis of the writings of a range of figures who are chosen in deliberate diversity and who have interacted with political audiences in different eras and settings: Edmund Burke, Joseph de Maistre, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Adolf Hitler, Éric Zemmour, Joe McCarthy, Anders Trade Review"An ambitious book that carefully examines some selected major works of reactionary political thought, investigating them through the appeals of classical rhetoric - logos, ethos, pathos - and identifies in decadence, conspiracy, and indignation the peculiar rhetorical triangle of the reactionary discourse. Comparing modern and contemporary authors, Shorten succeeds in identifying theoretical continuities in the mare magnum of reactionary tradition."Manuela Ceretta, Università degli Studi di Torino"This is an ambitious, conceptually sophisticated, and highly original take on "the hard Right," a topic of almost obsessive interest at present. Juxtaposing disparate examples from different eras, Shorten argues that "reaction" is what we're dealing with and that rhetoric is the key to understanding it. And he makes a powerful case. So original a book on so fraught a topic is not likely to compel universal agreement, but even those who question this or that will profit from engaging the overall argument."David D. Roberts, University of Georgia"In this strikingly original analysis, Richard Shorten casts reaction in a new light. By offering a rhetorical approach to an often inchoate but deeply-held collection of arguments and opinions, he identifies reaction’s distinct patterns and makes a powerful case for interpreting it as an ideology in its own right. Shorten’s knowledgeable and assiduously-researched book challenges contemporary scholarship and will deservedly claim its place as an imaginative and insightful decoding of right-wing thought."Michael Freeden, Emeritus Professor of Politics, University of Oxford"The Ideology of Political Reactionaries makes a strong case for taking reactionary rhetoric seriously and for spending time on their long form work, rather than their speeches. Shorten’s analysis of each text is painstaking and piercing. He does an excellent job of comparing them, highlighting their structural similarities."Ian Hall, The European Legacy "The Ideology of Political Reactionaries is a worthy exploration and assessment of reactionary rhetoric. Shorten examines well-known texts and speakers through a novel approach. … With respect to prose, Shorten’s is clear, concise, and, at times, lively. To spice things up, he makes occasional allusions to popular fiction. Where he introduces jargon, he is sure to define his terms. The result is a 284-page book that is immensely readable and not at all plodding."Matthew Slaboch, Perspectives on Politics"The Ideology of Political Reactionaries is a considerable achievement, moving the debate about reactionary politics beyond well-worn discussions of authoritarian personalities and thin centres. It is a very useful reminder of the ideology embedded in different kinds of narrative, as well as the persuasive power of techniques scholars often dismiss or deride, like the self-pitying anecdote or the deliberate transgression of everyday standards of political propriety." - Ian Hall, Griffith UniversityTable of ContentsPreface and AcknowledgementsIntroduction: Reactionaries from Dispositions to RhetoricPart I: Indignation: The Pathos of Reaction 1.

Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of IIliberalism is the first authoritative reference work dedicated to illiberalism as a complex social, political, cultural, legal, and mental phenomenon.Although illiberalism is most often discussed in political and constitutional terms, its study cannot be limited to such narrow frames.

Chapters are devoted to different facets of illiberalism, including the history of the idea and its competitors, its implications for the economy, society, government and the international order, and its contemporary iterations in representative countries and regions.The Routledge Handbook of IIliberalism will form an important component of any library's holding; it will be of benefit as an academic reference, as well as being an indispensable resourceTrade Review"An impressive and wide-ranging volume whose theme is deeply relevant for political theorists and practical politicians in both liberal and illiberal democracies worldwide."Susan Rose-Ackerman, Henry R. Luce Professor of Law and Political Science, Emeritus, Yale University"Almost everyone writing for this volume, not just the editors, seems committed to treating illiberalism as the concept that sheds the greatest light on the distinctive forms of authoritarianism or populism or ethnocentrism emerging in contemporary politics.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Nazis Islamic Antisemitism and the Middle East
Book SynopsisNazis, Islamic Antisemitism and the Middle Eastdemonstrates the impact on the Arab world of Nazi ideology and propaganda in the 1930s and beyond.In 1937, with the brochure Islam and Judaism, a new form of Jew-hatred came into the world: Islamic antisemitism. The Nazis did everything they could to anchor this new message of hate through their Arabic-language radio propaganda. The book sheds light on this hitherto unknown chapter of Germany's past. It presents new archive findings that show how the image of Jews in Islam changed between 1937 and 1948 under the influence of this propaganda and other Nazi activities. This fresh look at Middle East history allows for a more precise assessment of the present: What exactly is Islamic antisemitism? How is it currently manifesting itself in Germany and France? What makes it particularly dangerous? Only when we understand how strongly modern Middle East history is shaped by the aftermath of National Socialism will we be able to Trade Review'Matthias Küntzel’s new work is a fascinating and important exploration of the influence of Nazi propaganda during a crucial period in the formation of the modern Middle East. Like all the best books, it challenges the reader to consider familiar terrain from a new perspective, with a fresh analysis rooted in archival sources and rigorous research. The story it tells is, as the title suggests, shocking in its implications.'Dr. Dave Rich, Director of Policy at the Community Security Trust, UK'This book is required reading and a treasure trove for anyone wanting to discover the antisemitic roots of the Middle East conflict and its devastating consequences. Animated by a deep desire to counter prejudice, Küntzel deftly transcends prevailing assumptions about the region to reveal how adept the Nazis and their allies were at exporting genocidal antisemitism to the region.'R. Amy Elman, Kalamazoo College, USA'Combining original archival research with a magisterial survey of the existing scholarship, Matthias Küntzel demonstrates that Islamic anti-Semitism is not a byproduct but an originating cause of the Palestinian-Zionist conflict from at least 1937 on, helping to explain its ongoing violence and intractability.'Joseph S. Spoerl, Saint Anselm College, UK'This short and accessible book shows that a significant proportion of antisemitism in today's Middle East results from Nazi efforts to influence Islamist and Arab Nationalist thinking. The impact of Soviet antisemitism is already well documented. If antisemitism is not only an effect but also an ongoing cause of conflict between Jews and Arabs, then Matthias Küntzel's scholarship will require many people to think again. It also sheds new light on how this local conflict came to be regarded as globally significant.'David Hirsh, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London, and Academic Director and CEO of the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism, UK'With his usual depth and insight, Matthias Küntzel demonstrates in this book two points that are essential to any understanding of the Islamic antisemitism that pervades not only the Middle East but also the rest of world. First, he explains the centrality of Nazi exterminationist Jew hatred in Islamic Jihadist ideology, particularly as that ideology emerged from the Muslim Brotherhood. Second, he brings out the dangerous ways in which the hybrid of Nazi and Jihadist antisemitism continues to spread throughout the region, from Ankara to Tehran. Making crucial connections between history and contemporary realities, this book is a must-read for anyone who seeks to fathom the complexities of today’s Middle East and what they bode for tomorrow.'David Patterson, Hillel H. Feinberg Distinguished Chair in Holocaust Studies, University of Texas at Dallas, USA'This important book sheds light on the unexplored yet crucial impact of Nazi anti-Semitism on modern Islamist movements since the 1930s and their role in mobilizing mass political hostility and military opposition to Israel. In analyzing these aspects of modern Islamist anti-Semitism, Küntzel’s book offers a major contribution both to scholarship and to the struggle for a more humane world.'Meir Litvak, Tel Aviv University, Israel'This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the roots of antisemitism and hatred of Israel in the Middle East. Nazi propaganda introduced genocidal antisemitism to the Middle East by exploiting traditional anti-Jewish attitudes in Islam. Küntzel illustrates this with previously unseen documents, such as the Nazi pamphlet "Judaism and Islam," published in 1937 in Arabic, and evidence of the Nazi collaboration with the Muslim Brotherhood.'Günther Jikeli, Erna B. Rosenfeld Associate Professor, Indiana University, USA'Matthias Küntzel, author of the pioneering work Jihad and Jew-Hatred, has offered another bold and pathbreaking study of the impact of Nazi Germany on the Middle East, on the emergence of Islamic antisemitism, and of important causes of the Arab Israeli war of 1948. He writes in the spirit of the postwar West German and then German tradition of honest reckoning with the realities and the aftermath of the crimes and hatreds of Nazi Germany. In so doing, he offers a work that synthesizes a sizable scholarly literature, offers new and important archival findings, recasts conventional periodization, and sheds light on persons and ideas that comprised the era of 'post-Nazism' in the Middle East, and should stimulate debate and fresh thinking. With clarity, boldness, and scholarly rigor, he offers us a work that anyone with an interest in these issues in the academy and among general readers, should read and ponder.'Jeffrey Herf, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland, USA'This magnificent documentary book illustrates the ties between the Nazis and the Muslim Brotherhood and shows how Germans launched a vast and systematic propaganda via radio broadcasting in several Middle East languages -- especially in Arabic -- to export and implement Antisemitism in the Arab world. The content of this book is inevitable for understanding Islamic-Antisemitism, its roots and how it manifests itself in our present age.'Excerpt from Michael Mobasheri, Azadi, No.7, Vol 14, p.6, August 2023.'Matthias Küntzel, a German political scientist and historian, has written another extremely significant book, which [...] describes how since 1937, the Germans disseminated antisemitic propaganda throughout the Middle East in the Arabic language and how this antisemitism played a “decisive factor,” leading the Arab armies to attempt to destroy the nascent Jewish state.'Excerpt from Alex Grobman, The Jewish Link, August 18, 2023. https://jewishlink.news/1948-revisited/'Küntzel’s book is an important one. It is a clear-sighted and timely vindication of the idea that, as Küntzel puts it, it is not “Jewish settlement blocs, but Palestinian ideological blocs, that present the biggest obstacle to a peace settlement.'Excerpt from Lyn Julius, Jewish News Syndicate, September 19, 2023. https://www.jns.org/antisemitism/israeli-palestinian-conflict/23/9/19/319945/'Nazis, Islamic Antisemitism and the Middle East is an important work for anyone who wants to grapple with the emergence of anti-Semitism in the Middle East. Matthias Küntzel should be particularly commended for investigating what some have deemed an illicit subject.'Excerpt from Daniel Ben-Ami, Fathom, 'Book Review', February 2024. https://fathomjournal.org/book-review-nazis-islamic-antisemitism-and-the-middle-east/Table of ContentsForeword by Jeffrey Herf Introduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Withdrawal from Immanuel Kant and International
Book SynopsisThis book shows how the flawed orientation forming Immanuel Kant's philosophical project is the same from which the discipline of International Relations (IR) becomes possible and appears necessary.Tracing how core problems in Kant's thought are inescapably reproduced in IR, this book demonstrates that constructive critique of IR is impossible through mere challenge to its Kantian traditions. It argues that confrontation with the Kantian character of IR demands fundamental withdrawal from their shared aims. Investigating the global limits inherent to epistemological and ontological commitments of Kant's writings and IR, this interdisciplinary study interrogates the racism, sexism, coloniality, white male privilege, and anthropocentricism of both as sites from which such withdrawal may be initiated. Following queer and feminist examinations of how Kant and IR discipline a joint orientation through sex, gender, and sexuality, it indicates how withdrawal is possible.

Taylor & Francis The Racialization of Sexism
Book SynopsisPopulist radical right (PRR) parties are questioning womenâs rights and sexual democracy. Yet paradoxically they appropriate issues of gender+ equality to attack migrants and to mobilize a growing number of women as voters and members, based on a âracialization of sexismâ discourse. This book engages with these puzzling developments in order to investigate the evolving ideologies of PRR parties and their understudied membership from a gender perspective. Why do men and women join these parties? How do they negotiate the gendered propaganda of their organizations? Do these parties mobilize their members in gender-specific ways? How is the PRR achieving growing political legitimacy through such renewed gendered ideologies? And how does its mainstreaming strategy articulate with gendered social change and the advent of new generations of activists? Drawing on a two-year comparative and intersectional study of the Lega (Nord) in Italy and the Front national (now Trade Review“This fascinating book, based on intersectional and life course approaches, subtly shows how men and women in the Lega and the Rassemblement national experience and make sense of these parties' mobilisation of progressive models of femininity and masculinity to support their anti-immigration and anti-Muslim crusade. In doing so, Scrinzi makes a major contribution to reassessing the place of gender conservatism and authoritarianism in contemporary radical right ideology, and offers convincing hypotheses for the growing success of radical right parties among women, both voters and activists.”Olivier Fillieule, University of Lausanne, Switzerland“Francesca Scrinzi offers a scientific lens that makes it possible for us to understand the interplay of gender, class, age and ethnicity shaping mobilization in the Front National and the Lega Nord. Based on the findings of extensive empirical research, she eloquently demonstrates the discursive shift from nationalism to populism in relation to the changes in the use of gendered vocabulary by the right-wing populist parties. This is a timely intervention that successfully benefits from the literature on nationalism to explain the use of civilizational, religious and gendered identities by the populist radical right parties to mobilize their supporters.”Ayhan Kaya, Istanbul Bilgi University, Turkey“Here’s a book that finally genders the analysis of populist radical right parties in a systematic way! Through an original and captivating theoretical framework and an incredibly rich empirical analysis of populist radical right parties in Italy and France, this book shows that these parties’ gender projects are diverse and changing as they intersect with ethnicity, class, and religious dimensions in each national context. Scrinzi effectively and convincingly shows how radical right parties exploit the discursive opportunities of each national context, that are rooted in gender, ethnicity, class, and religious legacies, to mobilize different women and men. By accurately narrating the experiences of far-right women and men inscribed within multiple intersecting social relations, the book provides readers with a thorough understanding of the diverse gendered material and cultural motivations for supporting the far right. In sum, The Racialization of Sexism is a compelling and highly recommended book for all readers interested in politics, gender, and democracy.”Emanuela Lombardo, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain“Based on life stories of female and male members of the Lega and the Rassemblement national, this book shows how ‘men’s’ parties can mobilize women as well, reframing gender issues to appear as defending women’s rights against the threat of Islam and migrants. An intersectional approach of the far right, brilliantly articulating gender, religion, class, ethnicity and age.”Nonna Mayer, Sciences Po, Paris, France“Using a truly feminist and intersectional approach, The Racialization of Sexism provides new and important insights into the ideological heterogeneity, internal transformation, and political mainstreaming of the contemporary populist radical right, whose relevance goes well beyond the geographical boundaries of this study (i.e. Western Europe).”Cas Mudde, University of Georgia, USA / Center for Research on Extremism, Norway“Francesca Scrinzi’s comparison of the racialization of sexism in the Italian Lega North and the French Front National is original and thought provoking. The methodological and intersectional approach demonstrates the importance of history, places, spaces for the two parties’ framings as well as for the biographies of individual activists. The concluding reflections on Lega Norths’ support for import of (female) foreign labour due to the ‘crisis of reproduction’ inspires future research on the effects of the globalization of care.”Birte Siim, Aalborg University, Denmark“This book’s dynamic analysis advances our knowledge on how gendered dualism plays out in the mobilisation of women and men by PRR parties in France and Italy. Providing ample attention to the racialised sexism of these parties, and to the gender, age and class specific emotional mobilisation of activists, Francesca Scrinzi succeeds in unpacking the racialised and gendered emotional governance of these parties.”Mieke Verloo, Radboud University, The Netherlands“This excellent and inspiring monograph finally closes an existing gap in the research on the gender politics, leadership, and membership of far-right populist parties. Francesca Scrinzi analyses the complex intersectionality of gender, class, race, generation, and religion while conducting ethnographic fieldwork, interviewing dozens of female and male party members, and collecting over a 100 life stories in Italy and France This qualitative in-depth multi-method research allows tracing transformations of gender politics over time and highlighting the influence of global neoliberal economies. This book addresses scholars and post-graduate students alike and helps with understanding some of the salient contradictions characterizing both mainstream and far-right politics.”Ruth Wodak, Lancaster University, UK / University Vienna, AustriaTable of ContentsIntroduction: Gender and the mainstreaming of the far right 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Reconsidering American Political Thought
Book SynopsisFilling in the missing spaces left by traditional textbooks on American political thought, Reconsidering American Political Thought uses race, gender, and ethnicity as a lens through which to engage ongoing debates on American values and intellectual traditions. Weaving document-based texts analysis with short excerpts from classics in American literature, this book presents a re-examination of the political and intellectual debates of consequence throughout American history.Purposely beginning the story in 1619, Saladin Ambar reassesses the religious, political, and social histories of the colonial period in American history. Thereafter, Ambar moves through the story of America, with each chapter focusing on a different era in American history up to the present day. Ambar threads together analysis of periods including Thomas Jefferson's aspiration to create an Empire of Liberty, the ethnic, racial, and gender-based discourse instrumental in creating a Yankee industriaTrade Review"Scholars, students, and everyone else seeking to understand US political thought will be swept up by Saladin Ambar’s retelling of the American story.

Taylor & Francis The International Faith Labours Attitudes to
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1998, illuminating the principles and practices which impelled British Labourâs international attitudes, this book focuses on relationships between social democratic and communist organisations in the troubled scene of Europe between the wars. Peace and disarmament were the first priorities, giving way to the fight against fascism after 1933; the Spanish Civil War was the watershed when disarmament ceased to be a tenable option.Against this background, contacts made with the Labour and Socialist International and the International Federation of Trades Unions are considered and the distinctive approaches of women and young people are discussed. The history of these formal organisations is balanced by an account of the wide-ranging contacts of the broad Labour Movement in fields such as sport, education, Esperanto, music and art. Its protagonistsâ belief in international socialism is seen to be a faith which survived fascism and war, and continued to give hope for the future.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge Handbook of Radical Politics
Book SynopsisSuccessive waves of global protest since 1999 have encouraged leading contemporary political theorists to argue that politics has fundamentally changed in the last twenty years, with a new type of politics gaining momentum over elite, representative institutions. The new politics is frequently described as radical, but what does radicalism mean for the conduct of politics?Capturing the innovative practices of contemporary radicals, Routledge Handbook of Radical Politics brings together leading academics and campaigners to answer these questions and explore radicalism's meaning to their practice. In the thirty-five chapters written for this collection, they collectively develop a picture of radicalism by investigating the intersections of activism and contemporary political theory. Across their experiences, the authors articulate radicalism's critical politics and discuss how diverse movements support and sustain each other. Together, they provide a widTrade Review"Recommended - Upper-division undergraduates through faculty" — Choice"Required reading for radical activists, political theorists, and anyone who believes in freedom, justice, equality, and ecological survival. The Routledge Handbook of Radical Politics is the first volume to explore the relationship between radical activism and radical political theory within a range of local and transnational movements, including feminism, climate justice, migrant solidarity, on-line activism, and anti-capitalism. This innovative collection includes pieces by theorists and practitioners, and will be of interest to students, scholars, organizers, and the general public." — Jeffrey S.

Cambridge University Press The Spanish Republic at War 19361939
Book SynopsisThis 2002 book is a comprehensive analysis of the forces of the Spanish left - interpreted broadly - during the civil war of 1936â9, and the first of its kind for more than thirty years. It argues two crucial propositions. First, that the wartime responses (and limitations) of the Spanish left - republicans, socialists, communists and anarcho-syndicalists - can be understood only in relation to their pre-war experiences, world views, organisational structures and the wider Spanish context of acute uneven development which had moulded their organisations over previous decades. Second, that the overarching influence that shaped the evolution of the Republic between 1936 and 1939 was the war itself: the book explores the complex, cumulative effects of a civil war fought under the brutally destabilising conditions of an international arms embargo.Trade Review'… by some distance the best book I have read in any language on the Spanish Republic during the Civil War. The detailed - and thoroughly analytical - narrative of the politics of the Republic outshines anything that has been written before … A very major work by a mature historian writing at the height of her powers.' Professor Paul Preston, London School of Economics and Political Science'… a highly detailed and densely argued contribution to the long-running historical debate about the nature of the wartime Spanish republic.' History'Not the least of the merits of this massively impressive book is its setting of the Spanish Civil War, as seen from the standpoint of an observer of the politics and society of the Republican zone, in contexts that historiography tends to ignore … Graham brilliantly illuminates the immaturity of Spanish political life … This book is so rich that one can find nuggets of gold everywhere …'. War in History'… this work is an absolute must for all who want to look beyond the simple events and varying accounts of the Spanish Civil War. … Graham is the author of a brilliant analysis that is both highly interesting and highly readable. Even those who already know a great deal about the Spanish Civil War will be able to draw new knowledge from this work.' International Review of Social History'Helen Graham's study constituted a comprehensive analysis and detailed description of Republican politics during the war period … her book may well be considered as a kind of updated synthesis, which will be extremely useful for anyone interested in the Civil War.'
