The Populist Manifesto
This volume brings together a range of scholars dissatisfied with the mainstream of the populism debate. It intends to bring forward a perspective which envisions populism not simply as a negative aspect of politics, but as a way of doing politics. Contemporary politics has been characterised by the overarching presence of populism, while simultaneously engendering a sense of fear and extremism around the results of populist movements. This collection intends to unpack the true potential for movements from and by the people, linking these historically and offering a new lens for thinking about contemporary populism. What can we learn from recent events? How can these lessons inform how we think about politics for the future? Offering this approach, from the perspective of populist potential, will help us answer these questions and open the debate with contributors from countries or regions that have a tradition of populism, privileging them with a deeper understanding.
Global Politics
Global Politics: A New Introduction engages directly with questions that those coming to the study of world politics bring with them. From that innovative starting point, it explores key issues through a critical and inquiring perspective, presenting theoretical ideas and concepts in conjunction with a global range of historical and contemporary case studies. Revised and updated throughout, the fourth edition offers examples engaging with the latest developments in global politics: the climate crisis and anthropocentrism, Indigenous experiences and thinking, racism and the rise of xenophobia, artificial intelligence, citizen journalism, global health and pandemic response and drone warfare. ...
Butterflies and Paper Planes
i am but a passive observer, i am here to witness the reminders of life's cruel jest. i watch in silence, observing the unfolding scenes as they paint a vivid picture of the mockery that fate so often becomes. butterflies, flitting through the air, their dance a mere illusion of grace and flight. a spectacle mocking the complexities of life, as if to taunt me with their fleeting beauty. their fragile wings and vibrant colours, a cruel reminder of nature's ability to deceive. their delicate dance belied the harsh realities of existence, a facade of innocence masking the cruelty that lay beneath. paper planes, mere remnants of human ambition, soaring with empty promises. crafted from folded dreams, carrying the weight of futile aspirations, mocking the foolishness of our desires. their flight a charade, a feeble attempt to escape the gravity of our mundane existence. ______________________________ Through the metaphorical lens of butterflies and paper planes, Liven N. Gabriel explores the fragility of life, fleeting moments and the beauty of the natural world. This is a dance we all partake in.
Withdrawal from Immanuel Kant and International Relations
This 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, col...
The Slow Rush of Colonization
The commonplace history of Quebec and the Maritime Peninsula tells us that Canada and the US were decisively shaped by the defeat of Montcalm at the Plains of Abraham in 1759. This brilliant new history takes us back almost a hundred years earlier, examining French and English warfare, trade, diplomacy, and settlement on Mi’kmaw, Wabanaki, Peskotomuhkati, and Wolastoqiyik Lands. In doing so, Thomas Peace demonstrates how these Peoples maintained their Homelands, while, at the same time, after 1759, the broader historical context established in the early chapters of this book set the stage for a rapid influx of colonists on their Lands.
Indigenous America in the Spanish Language Classroom
A critical resource for inclusive teaching in the Spanish classroom Although Indigenous peoples are active citizens of the Americas, many Spanish language teachers lack the knowledge and understanding of their history, culture, and languages that is needed to present the Spanish language in context. By presenting a more complete picture of the Spanish speaking world, Indigenous America in the Spanish Language Classroom invites teachers to adjust their curricula to create a more inclusive classroom. Anne Fountain provides teachers with key historical and cultural information about Indigenous peoples throughout the Americas and explains how to incorporate relevant resources into their curricul...
Run Elvin!
"This was my first experience with the urgency of 'fleeing' in the most immediate and literal sense. It was only then that I could fully imagine the terror felt by my family and other refugees during their escape from Rwanda in the 1990s, when they resisted forced repatriation by hiding in the forests of Tanzania. In that breathless moment on the tarmac in 2002, I felt the visceral terror of what it really means to be a refugee just as they had, terrorized by the harsh realities of being nationless, propelled forever onward in flight."
Identity, Development, and the Politics of the Past
Combining personal narrative and ethnography, Identity, Development, and the Politics of the Past examines cultural change in a rural Ecuadorian fishing village where the community has worked to stake claim to an Indigenous identity in the face of economic, social, and political integration. By documenting how villagers have reconstructed their identity through the use of archaeology and political demarcation of territory, author Daniel Bauer shows that ethnicity is part of a complex social matrix that involves politics, economics, and history. Residents in the coastal community of Salango pushed for formal recognition of Indigenous identity while highlighting their pre-Hispanic roots in ord...
Dari Adat ke Politik
Menjelang berakhirnya abad ke-20, berlangsung suatu fenomena yang mengejutkan banyak pengamat dan merombak peta perpolitikan Amerika Latin, yakni: bangkitnya “masyarakat adat” —yang selama ini dianggap lemah dan terbelakang—sebagai suatu kekuatan politik tersendiri yang bergerak mandiri terpisah dari kelompok-kelompok kiri-progresif konvensional. Bukan cuma itu. Gerakan sosial masyarakat adat ini pada akhirnya terjun ke politik formal dengan membentuk partai sendiri tanpa meninggalkan basis gerakan sosialnya. Dengan menguraikan transformasi gerakan petani koka (cocaleros) di Bolivia menjadi Partai Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) dan transformasi Konfederasi Masyarakat Adat Ekuador (CO...
