This international bestseller plumbs recently opened archives in the former Soviet bloc to reveal the accomplishments of communism around the world. The book is the first attempt to catalogue and analyse the crimes of communism over 70 years.
Parties and Party Systems
In this rich and broad-ranging volume, Giovanni Sartori outlines what is now recognised to be the most comprehensive and authoritative approach to the classification of party systems. He also offers an extensive review of the concept and rationale of the political party, and develops a sharp critique of various spatial models of party competition. This is political science at its best – combining the intelligent use of theory with sophisticated analytic arguments, and grounding all of this on a substantial cross-national empirical base. Parties and Party Systems is one of the classics of postwar political science, and is now established as the foremost work in its field.
Hypocrisy and Integrity
Questioning the usual judgements of political ethics, Ruth W. Grant argues that hypocrisy can actually be constructive while strictly principled behavior can be destructive. Hypocrisy and Integrity offers a new conceptual framework that clarifies the differences between idealism and fanaticism while it uncovers the moral limits of compromise.

Cyberdémocratie
Sur Internet notamment, non seulement chacun ou presque peut mettre en ligne ce qu’il veut dire, non seulement des forums de discussion se créent, mais de véritables villes, de véritables régions virtuelles naissent, tissant des liens qui échappent aux barrières politiques et géographiques traditionnelles. Cette liberté nouvelle est-elle un danger ou bien une chance ? Pour Pierre Lévy, elle annonce l’avènement prochain de la démocratie généralisée et jette les bases d’une véritable société civile planétaire et peut-être de nouvelles formes d’État. Une synthèse visionnaire des transformations que la montée de l’Internet provoque dans la vie démocratique. Pierre Lévy est philosophe et enseigne à l’Université du Québec, à Trois Rivières. Il est notamment l’auteur de L’Intelligence collective, de Cyberculture et de World Philosophie.
Plots and Paranoia
Britain’s secret state exists to protect her from ‘enemies within’. It has always aroused controversy; on the one hand it is credited with preventing wars, revolutions and terrorism and on the other it is accused of subverting democratically elected governments and luring innocents to death. What is the true story? The book, first published in 1992, delves beneath the myths and deceptions surrounding the secret service to reveal the true nature and significance of covert political policing in Britain, from the ‘spies and bloodites’ of the eighteenth century to today’s MI5. This title will be of interest to students of modern history and politics.
