Merkel's Law
In the vein of Notorious RBG, a fun and inspiring biography filled with lessons from the most powerful woman in the world, based on more than a decade’s worth of coverage of German Chancellor Angela Merkel from New York Times Berlin correspondent Melissa Eddy. Angela Merkel is a boss. A trailblazer. An icon of colorful suits. Formerly the new leader of the free world. With an entire hand gesture named after her (the “Merkel Diamond”) and celebrated in a viral meme for sparring with Trump, Angela Merkel spent a decade economically and politically revitalizing her country. The first woman chancellor of Germany and one of the longest-serving European leaders ever, Merkel’s quiet resolve...
The Betrayal
Understanding the greatest catastrophic failure of American Government. In 2022, Ira Shapiro completed what Brooking scholar William A. Galston called “an epic trilogy” chronicling the disastrous decline of the once-great Senate. The Founding Fathers gave the Senate many functions, but it had one overriding responsibility: to provide a check against a dangerous president who threatened our democracy. Shapiro’s gripping portrait of Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republicans’ turning a blind eye to Donald Trump’s abuses of power remains the definitive chronicle of the most catastrophic failure of government in American history. The updated edition carries the story forward into the Biden presidency and the efforts to restore bipartisanship in bitterly contentious times.
My Journey into the Heart of Terror
The German journalist documents his ten days in the Islamic State, a time during which he interviewed fighters in Mosul to consider their point of view to better understand the ways to combat their fundamentalism.
The Arc of Truth
Martin Luther King Jr. said and wrote as much or more about the meaning, nature, and power of truth as any other prominent figure in the 1950s and '60s. King was not only vastly influential as an advocate for and defender of truth; he also did more than anyone in his time to organize truth into a movement for the liberation, uplift, and empowerment of humanity, efforts that ultimately resulted in the loss of his life. Drawing on King's published and unpublished sermons, speeches, and writings, The Arc of Truth explores King's lifelong pilgrimage in pursuit of truth. Lewis Baldwin explores King's quest for truth from his inquisitive childhood to the influence of family and church, to Morehous...
Religious Crisis and Civic Transformation
This book offers a fresh interpretation of the connection between the West German Catholic Church and post-1950s political debates on women's reproductive rights and the protection of life in West Germany. According to Tichenor, Catholic women in West Germany, influenced by the culture of consumption, the sexual revolution, Vatican II reforms, and feminism, sought to renegotiate their relationship with the Church. They demanded a more active role in Church ministries and challenged the Church's hierarchical and gendered view of marriage and condemnation of artificial contraception. When the Church refused to compromise, women left en masse. In response, the Church slowly stitched together a ...

Frauenkarrieren in der Medienbranche
Wenn Frauen im Medienbereich Spitzenjobs erlangen, dann findet man sie vor allem in Leitungspositionen in Redaktionen und Kreativbereichen, nur selten aber im (strategischen) Management. Konsequenterweise drängt sich die Frage nach den Gründen für diese Disparität auf. In 37 Gesprächen zeigen renommierte Führungsfrauen, welchen beruflichen Weg sie genommen haben, welche Erfolgsfaktoren entscheidend waren, wo Stolpersteine lagen, wie sie den Alltag zwischen beruflicher Herausforderung und privatem Leben gestalten und wie sie mit Schwierigkeiten auf ihrem Weg umgegangen sind. „Das vorliegende Buch leistet einen Beitrag zur nötigen Veränderung, indem es das Bewusstsein für die Rahmenbedingungen schärft, die einen Erfolg erleichtern. Es macht die Erfahrungen vieler Medienfrauen transparent, die in ihren Unternehmen und Institutionen in der ersten Reihe stehen. Insa Sjurts und ihre Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter haben sie interviewt und daraus dieses Buch gemacht.“ Olaf Scholz, Erster Bürgermeister der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg
Digital Feminisms
The relative rise or decline of feminist movements across the globe has been debated by feminist scholars and activists for a long time. In recent years, however, these debates have gained renewed momentum. Rapid technological change and increased use of digital media have raised questions about how digital technologies change, influence, and shape feminist politics. This book interrogates the digital interface of transnational protest movements and local activism in feminist politics. Examining how global feminist politics is articulated at the nexus of the transnational/national, we take contemporary German protest culture as a case study for the manner in which transnational feminist activism intersects with the national configuration of feminist political work. The book explores how movements and actions from outside Germany’s borders circulate digitally and resonate differently in new local contexts, and further, how these border-crossings transform grass-roots activism as it goes digital. This book was originally published as a special issue of Feminist Media Studies.
The Geopsychology Theory of International Relations in the 21st Century
This book introduces an innovative theoretical construct of geopsychology to navigate the complex dynamics of international politics in the 21st century. It explains how geopsychology is different from mainstream international relations theories in terms of primary actors, human behavior, spatial application, instruments, and key issues. It argues that peace and stability in the troubled parts of the world warrants an imperative need for understanding psychological dispositions of non-state actors and authoritarian regimes. In The Geopsychology Theory of International Relations in the 21st Century: Escaping the Ignorance Trap, B.M.Jain unfolds that neither a global hegemon nor a cohort of po...
