Thomas Paine

The Age of Reason

Thomas Paine, a seminal figure in American History, was an Englishman by birth who immigrated to America in 1774, where he quickly took up the cause of the independence of the American colonies from England. His famous work “Common Sense”, published in 1776, helped to gain public support for the American Revolution and established him as a central figure among the founding fathers. Later, while living in France during the French Revolution, Paine was dismayed by the increasing political...

The World According to Julius Malema

In late 2009, well-known journalists Max du Preez and Mandy Rossouw compiled a range of around 80 famous and infamous sayings by Julius Malema, then-leader of the ANC Youth League. What did he have to say back then about Zille, Zuma, women (all three still some of his favourite subjects), not to mention Nando’s? And what did his words then reveal about the new generation of the ANC and where the government was heading? In a foreword to the book, du Preez and Rossouw explore and examine the...

Женщины и власть. Манифест

Мэри Бирд

Женщины и власть. Манифест

Насколько глубоко в западную культуру встроены механизмы, лишающие женщин права голоса в публичной сфере, отказывающие им в серьезном отношении и отсекающие их от возможности находиться во власти? Окидывая взглядом долгую историю западной традиции исключения женщин из общественной и политической жизни – от Античности и до наших дней, – известный историк, профессор Кембриджского университета Мэри Бирд задается рядом вопросов: какова культурная подоплека сексизма в политике, какие формы он...

How Did We Get Into This Mess?

George Monbiot

How Did We Get Into This Mess?

Leading political and environmental commentator on where we have gone wrong, and what to do about it “Without countervailing voices, naming and challenging power, political freedom withers and dies. Without countervailing voices, a better world can never materialise. Without countervailing voices, wells will still be dug and bridges will still be built, but only for the few. Food will still be grown, but it will not reach the mouths of the poor. New medicines will be developed, but they will be...

At the heart of the economic writings of Marx and Engels is the materialist conception of history, or that productive capacity is the primary organizing factor of society. This conception gives rise to the fundamental inequality that exists between the socioeconomic...

Reflections on Anti-Semitism

Reflections on Anti-Semitism

Dissecting how facile accusations of “anti-Semitism” are used to stifle dissent. Since the inception of the “War on Terror”, Israel has become increasingly important to Western imperial strategy and ever more aggressive in its policies towards the Palestinians. A key ideological weapon in this development is the cynical and unjustified accusation of ‘anti-Semitism’ to silence protest and dissent.For historical reasons, this tactic has been deployed most forcefully in France, and in the first of...

The Prince (Translated by Ninian Hill Thomson with an Introduction by Henry Cust)

Originally published in 1532, nearly five years after the author’s death, “The Prince” is a pioneering work of modern political philosophy for which Niccolo Machiavelli is best remembered.

China Goes Green

What does it mean for the future of the planet when one of the world’s most durable authoritarian governance systems pursues “ecological civilization”? Despite its staggering pollution and colossal appetite for resources, China exemplifies a model of state-led environmentalism which concentrates decisive political, economic, and epistemic power under centralized leadership. On the face of it, China seems to embody hope for a radical new approach to environmental governance. <br...

Power and Loss in South African Journalism

This timely collection of essays analyses the crisis of journalism in contemporary South Africa at a period when the media and their role are frequently at the centre of public debate. The transition to digital news has been messy, random and unpredictable. The spread of news via social media platforms has given rise to political propaganda and fake news. Yet media companies oust experienced journalists in favour of 'content producers'. Against this backdrop, Daniels points...

Markets and States in Tropical Africa

Following independence, most countries in Africa sought to develop, but their governments pursued policies that actually undermined their rural economies. Examining the origins of Africa’s «growth tragedy,» Markets and States in Tropical Africa has for decades shaped the thinking of practitioners and scholars alike. Robert H. Bates’s analysis now faces a challenge, however: the revival of economic growth on the continent. In this edition, Bates provides a new preface and...

Liberty and Property

From Machiavelli to Rousseau, reading theorists as responding to the conflicts of their time. The formation of the modern state, the rise of capitalism, the Renaissance and Reformation, the scientific revolution and the Age of Enlightenment have all been attributed to the “early modern” period. Nearly everything about its history remains controversial, but one thing is certain: it left a rich and provocative legacy of political ideas unmatched in Western history. The concepts of liberty,...

Ruling the Void

Chilling account ofthe end of party democracy, by the leading political scientist In the long-established democracies of Western Europe, electoral turnouts are in decline, membership is shrinking in the major parties, and those who remain loyal partisans are sapped of enthusiasm. Peter Mair's new book weighs the impact of these changes, which together show that, after a century of democratic aspiration, electorates are deserting the political arena. Mair examines the alarming parallel...

The Russians Are Coming, Again

The Russians Are Coming, Again

Karl Marx famously wrote in The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon that history repeats itself, “first as tragedy, then as farce.” The Cold War waged between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945 until the latter's dissolution in 1991 was a great tragedy, resulting in millions of civilian deaths in proxy wars, and a destructive arms race that diverted money from social spending and nearly led to nuclear annihilation. The New Cold War between the United States...
