Sincerity in Politics and International Relations
This edited volume examines concepts of sincerity in politics and international relations in order to discuss what we should expect of politicians, within what parameters they should work, and how their decisions and actions could be made consistent with morality. The volume features an international cast of authors who specialize in the topic of sincerity in politics and international relations. Looking at how sincerity bears on political actions, practices, and institutions at national and international level, the introduction serves to place the chapters in the context of ongoing contemporary debates on sincerity in politics and international theory. Each chapter focuses on a contemporary issue in politics and international relations, including corruption, public hypocrisy, cynicism, trust, security, policy formulation and decision-making, political apology, public reason, political dissimulation, denial and self-deception, and will argue against the background of a Kantian view of sincerity as unconditional. Offering a significant comprehensive outlook on the practical limits of sincerity in political affairs, this work will be of great interest to both students and scholars.

Coping After COVID-19: Cognitive Behavioral Skills for Anxiety, Depression, and Adjusting to Chronic Illness

Despite medical and pharmacological advances in prevention and treatment, new infections continue to occur as of the time of writing. Some individuals who contract COVID-19 experience persistent symptoms of the illness, even after the acute infection. These symptoms tend to be more common in individuals who were hospitalized, but persisting symptoms can also occur in those with a mild initial infection. Anxiety, depression, cognitive symptoms, and fatigue are common sequelae of COVID-19 (Vanderlind et al., 2021)"--
