Keeping the Republic

Bill Ratliff
Lt. Governor Bill Ratliff is an engineer, a widely respected senator, and according to Caroline Kennedy he is “an inspiration to all who serve in government, and to all Americans.” Senator Ratliff, nicknamed “Obi Wan Kenobi” by his colleagues, was a revered and much loved leader in Texas for more than a decade. He singularly wrote the Texas Robin-Hood school finance law, a major Ethics reform law, a Texas tort reform law, and held a great disdain for narrow partisanship and politics. This is the inspirational story of a great man doing good work in a time when many are cynical about political leadership and government. His courageous stand on principle brought him to a showdown with powerful forces in the Bush White House and earned him the public vitriol of right-wing billionaires.

This approach is an ostensible departure from the country’s traditional foreign policy stance, which tries to avoid bringing values to the forefront of foreign policies. This book intends to answer the questions of why Japan has started emphasizing democracy assistance and why it has relegated itself to a minor role in democracy assistance nevertheless. It argues that Japan’s emphasis on democracy assistance reveals its intention to increase its political influence with regards to China based on democratic values, and its usage of the term "de...
AK Parti’nin 15 Yılı: Dış Politika
AK Parti iktidarı boyunca Türk dış politikasının nasıl şekillendiğine bakıldığında ilk göze çarpan özellik Türkiye’nin ekonomik ve askeri kapasitesinde yaşanan artışın dış politikaya yansıtılması çabasıdır. Özellikle 2003-2008 arasındaki hızlı ekonomik büyüme ile imkanları artan Türkiye dış politikada bilindik kalıpların dışına çıkmaya, daha bağımsız ve aktif bir dış politika izlemeye başlamıştır. 2008-2009 dünya ekonomik krizi, 2010 sonunda başlayan Arap İsyanları’nın Ortadoğu’yu istikrarsızlaştırması ve 2013 yılındaki Gezi Parkı Şiddet Eylemleri’yle başlayıp 17-25 Aralık ve 15 Temmuz darbe girişimlerine uzanan...
