Book SynopsisThis book is among the first serious looks at the first 18 months of the Biden administration and its many challenges. From a tortured transition to a raging pandemic, a fragile economy, and the threat of international insecurity, Joe Biden entered office at a time even more fraught than that he faced as a new vice president.

Taylor & Francis Political Candidate Selection
Book SynopsisThe secret garden of politics, where some win and others lose their candidate selection bids, and why some aspirant candidates are successful while others fail have been enduring puzzles within political science. This book solves this puzzle by proposing and applying a universally applicable multistage approach to discover the relationship between selection rules, selectorsâ biases, aspirantsâ attributes, and selection outcomes.Rare party and survey data on winning and losing candidates and insider views on what it takes to win a selection contest at multiple selection stages are compared and used to reveal the inner workings of the secret garden. With a primary focus on the British Labour party over several elections, the findings challenge many long-held assumptions about why some aspirant candidate types are successful over others and provides real-world and controversial solutions to addressing womenâs and other marginalised groupsâ descriptive underrepresentation.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Selecting the President
Book SynopsisSelecting political leaders by popular election is an unquestioned hallmark of representative democraciesthe institutional manifestation of Lincoln's promise of a government of the people and by the people. But in 2016, Lincoln's promise seems to have given way to Hamilton's nightmarewith his worries that popular elections would produce demagogues who paid an obsequious court to the people, appealing to their passions and prejudices rather than to their reason. This book examines the commitment to the widest level of participation among the largest number of citizens in the selection of the president. It looks at two salient characteristics of our current presidential election environment that bring the wisdom of this commitment into question: the declining influence of political parties and the communication revolution in the form of the internet, social media, and cable television. Ultimately, Mezey asks whether our now fully democratized presidential selection process has in factTrade ReviewPraise for (S)electing the PresidentMichael L. Mezey’s (S)electing the President: The Perils of Democracy is a must-read for anyone interested in the current state of our presidential selection process. After the historic 2016 election, this outstanding analysis addresses the central dilemmas of American democracy today: As our electoral system becomes more democratized with increased demagoguery, is the quality of candidates and campaigns diminished? Is it possible to have good government and quality leaders?James A. Thurber, American UniversityMichael Mezey’s new book, (S)electing the President, is an important contribution to the conversation surrounding popular elections. Drawing on the writing of ancient philosophers and our nation's founders, Mezey sends a strong message: that too much democratization of the nominating process and of the media might not be so beneficial as some think. His message is ignored at our peril.L. Sandy Maisel, Colby CollegeWith clarity and insight, Michael Mezey provides students and faculty with an engaging and concise narrative and analysis of the process by which we select the president of the United States. (S)electing the President is a must-read for students taking courses in introductory American government, elections, political parties, and politics and the media who want (and need) to better understand the history of the selection process, and specifically the 2016 presidential election.Alan R. Gitelson, Loyola University ChicagoThere is a conundrum at the heart of American electoral politics: The more democratized the presidential elections become, the less likely the most qualified candidate is elected. (S)electing the President casts a critical eye at the tension between democratic appeal and governing competence – pinpointing causes, consequences, and potential reform – and pierces this conundrum. Michael Mezey’s broad historical sweep and careful contemporary analysis should be a wake-up call for anyone concerned about the dynamics and outcomes of recent presidential elections.Sarah Binder, George Washington University and The Brookings InstitutionTable of ContentsPrefaceChapter 1.

Book SynopsisThis textbook, from one of Italy's most eminent scholars, provides broad coverage and critique of Italian politics and society. Providing the readers with the knowledge necessary to understand the working of the Italian political system, it also offers answers to some of the most important challenges facing the country and other contemporary democracies today, such as populism, anti-politics and corruption.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Stalin and Stalinism
Book SynopsisOne of the most successful dictators of the twentieth century, Stalin transformed the Communist Party of the Soviet Union into one of the world's leading political parties. Stalin and Stalinism explores how he ammassed, retained and deployed power to dominate, not only his close associates, but the population of the Soviet Union and Soviet Empire.Moving from leader to autocrat and finally despot, Stalin played a key role in shaping the first half of the twentieth century with, at one time, around one-third of the planet adopting his system. His influence lives on despite turning their backs on Stalin's anti-capitalism in the later twentieth century, countries such as China and Vietnam retain his political model the unbridled power of the Communist Party. First published in 1983, Stalin and Stalinism has established itself as one of the most popular textbooks for those who want to understand the Stalin phenomenon. This updated fourth edition draws on a wealth oTrade Review'McCauley’s work is indispensable for courses in modern Russian history. It not only provides primary sources that make clear the oppression of the Stalin era, but also explains the historiography of this period, and provides an assessment of Stalin’s legacy, which resonates to this very day.'Patricia Kollander, Florida Atlantic University, USA"Stalin and Stalinism has long been a work critical to the introduction of the Stalinist history of the Soviet Union. Part of the Seminar Series published by Routledge Press, it is now in its fourth edition. In this new edition (revised third edition published in 2013), McCauley continues to show his broad-based knowledge of the history of Stalin and Stalinism. In addition to some physical rearrangement, he has added three new chapters of analysis, focusing on the years before Stalin came to power. He has also added a new chapter on the legacy of Stalinism, which includes a discussion of the differences between Stalin and Putin. One of the most helpful sections of this title in all editions has been the inclusion of the translation of several critical documents. The fourth edition has them all and includes Khrushchev’s secret speech to the XXth Party Congress in 1956. McCauley has also expanded and updated the additional readings, creating another great edition of a foundational volume in the study of Stalin and Stalinism."J. C.

Taylor & Francis Ltd No Way to Pick A President
Book SynopsisAs the United States marks its first presidential election of a new century, Witcover shows us how professional mercenaries -- with little party loyalty and diminished political principles, driven by an insatiable need for money -- are poisoning public life. At the same time, politicians themselves have condoned and even encouraged these developments, responding to the demands of a media-driven age in which the press corps pursues its own quest for celebrity and financial reward.Sharp, revealing, and rich with anecdotes, No Way to Pick a President offers a wealth of presidential history, from the role of the vice president''s office to campaign funds, television and the electoral college.Trade Review"Praise for the hardcover edition of No Way to Pick aPresident(0374223033):.""Provacative.Witcover blasts virtually everyone and everything associated with presidential elections." -- Washington Post Book World"An angry uncompromising survey of the steady debasement of the political coin." -- David Broder, Washington Post"Vintage Witcover, which means strong reporting, sharp analysis, and well turned anecdotes, revealing interviews, and an abiding love of the game, warts and all.

Taylor & Francis President Donald Trump and His Political Discourse
Book SynopsisPresident Donald Trump and His Political Discourse brings together a diverse collection of perspectives on President Trumpâs Twitter rhetoric. Truly unique in its in-depth exploration, the volume demonstrates the ways in which international and U.S. relations, media and fake news, and marginalized groups, among other things, have been the subject of President Trumpâs tweets. It also features qualitativeâquantitative analyses, evaluating tweet patterns, broader language shifts, and the psychology of President Trumpâs Twitter voice. The purpose of this collection is not only to analyze the language used but also to consider the ramifications of the various messages on both individual and global levels, for which Trump is both celebrated and criticized. Interdisciplinary in approach, this collection is a useful resource for students in political rhetoric and communication, international relations, linguistics, journalism, leadership studies, and more.Trade ReviewAs the Twitter president, Donald Trump has revolutionized how candidates and presidents interact with audiences domestically and globally. Michele Lockhart’s edited volume answers the call for serious study of Trump’s Twitter language and its impact, making President Donald Trump and His Political Discourse a timely addition to any classroom.-Shawn J. Parry-Giles, University of Maryland, USAIf you’re wondering how President Trump’s churning tweets are utterly redefining American political rhetoric, then this collection provides a sufficient and necessary baseline where, as Yeats warned, “the ceremony of innocence is drowned.” While social media isn’t always social, it’s always rhetorical, and — for this attentive editor and these critically engaged scholars — strangely beautiful. -Hugh Burns, Texas Woman's University, USATable of ContentsINTRODUCTION by Michele LockhartPART I: THE CAMPAIGN, THE TWITTERSPHERE, AND THE "NEW AGE" OF RHETORIC: TRUTH VERSUS REALITY1.

Cambridge University Press Mao Cult Rhetoric And Ritual In Chinas Cultural Revolution
Book SynopsisAlthough many books have explored Mao's posthumous legacy, none has scrutinized the massive worship that was fostered around him during the Cultural Revolution. This book is the first to do so. By analyzing secret archival documents, Daniel Leese traces the history of the cult within the Communist Party and at the grassroots level. The party leadership's original intention was to develop a prominent brand symbol, which would compete with the nationalists' elevation of Chiang Kai-shek. However, they did not anticipate that Mao would use this symbolic power to mobilize Chinese youth to rebel against party bureaucracy itself. The result was anarchy and when the army was called in it relied on mandatory rituals of worship such as daily reading of the Little Red Book to restore order. Such fascinating detail sheds light not only on the personality cult of Mao, but also on hero-worship in other traditions.Trade Review'Leese charts the rise of Mao's cult in clear stages, with an excellent eye for its intricacies.'

Cambridge University Press Institutions under Siege
Book SynopsisIn this book, leading political sociologist John. L Campbell grapples with the legacy of the Trump presidency and Trump's attack on the 'deep state' through the lens of institutional change theory. The book assesses where damage is most likely to endure and where damage was prevented or more short-lived.Trade Review'Finally, a thinking person's guide to the damage done by the Trump presidency. Campbell makes a convincing case, grounded in high-quality evidence and innovative thinking about institutional change, that Trump undermined virtually all the key institutions of American democracy in his four norm-smashing years in the White House.' Jacob S. Hacker, Yale University'Many books have been written on the Trump presidency. Some applaud this unusual president many more decry his governance and personal style. John Campbell's thoughtful book, 'Institutions Under Siege,' is the first to consider the implications of Donald Trump from the perspective of institutional change. Campbell has written several excellent monographs on institutional evolution and change. In this incisive book he examines how the Trump presidency has shaped and reshaped American political institutions. In so doing Campbell offers both a fascinating account of what Trump did, and could not do, to America's political institutions and deepens our understanding of the mechanisms of institutional change itself.'

Cambridge University Press Global South Leadership Style
Book SynopsisThe Global South consists of emerging nations with increasing economic and political strength, drawing attention to their unique leadership challenges and opportunities. Visionary leaders from the Global South leverage their political and economic influence to challenge the status quo and reshape the global order. Thus, Global South''s leadership has the potential for a revolutionary future, defined by its distinctive experiences, creative energy, and dedication to a more sustainable global order. This Element promotes a new paradigm shift by acknowledging the regions as a unique leadership concept rather than a geographical classification. The Global South Leadership Index identifies new players, agendas, and pathways to provide a framework for other countries who want to follow suit. The Element sidesteps labeling leaders explicitly with terms like democratic or dictatorial. It allows readers to interpret the governance style and leadership dynamics for themselves, resulting in a more nuanced understanding.

Cambridge University Press Hamilton versus Jefferson in the Washington
Book SynopsisStudents of the American founding will be interested in this study of the political clashes between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson when they served in George Washington's cabinet. The book examines why these two great founders became political enemies as they tried to put the new government into operation.Trade Review'Holloway pursues a straightforward … yet original agenda: to review and compare the major state papers of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson written while they served, respectively, as Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of State in the Washington administration. He writes as an American Xenophon, patiently illustrating the ways of intelligent statesmanship through the work of two masters. One feels the pressure of every choice and the subtle interplay of principle and policy. A marvelous achievement.' James Stoner, Louisiana State University'Everybody knows something about the conflicts between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson while they served together in the cabinet of President George Washington. But nobody has studied in such depth or probed their meaning so thoughtfully and thoroughly as Carson Holloway.' Michael Zuckert, University of Notre Dame, Indiana'Carson Holloway's meticulous study of the debates between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson in the presidency of George Washington is distinguished by its thorough and fair-minded treatment of the nuances of [their] thought.
