In the United States, politics has become increasingly nationalized in recent years as voter decision-making is now driven by partisan or national political forces rather than the attributes of individual candidates. Indeed, voters now seem more concerned with which of the two national parties will be in power across all levels of government as opposed to which candidate will represent them individually.
Nationalized Politics asks and answers the question, 'how has nationalization influenced elections across different political eras?' Jamie L. Carson, Joel Sievert, and Ryan D. Williamson look at historical variation in nationalization through an analysis of congressional elections from 1840 to 2020. By examining roughly 180 years of elections, the authors leverage considerable differences in electoral competition, electoral rules, nationalization, polarization, and partisan advantage via the incumbency advantage. Moreover, Carson, Sievert, and Williamson employ a unique survey design to capture citizen attitudes toward the nationalization of politics to further consider the question of how nationalization is currently shaping politics. Providing a comprehensive history of US congressional elections, Nationalized Politics illustrates the roots of the current electoral landscape in the US.
In this brilliant exploration of American history and contemporary conservative politics, foreign policy expert John Hulsman draws on his years at the heart of Washington to present a compelling new vision of conservative realism.
In our current Age of Insecurity, Hulsman suggests, there has never been a bigger need for the re-ascendance of realist principles in conservative circles. By drawing on U.S. history to illustrate realist precepts at the heart of the American story, The Last Best Hope provides a practical, realist foreign policy for a new age of American politics.
There has never been a greater time to re-claim the primacy of conservative thought. By fusing the populist Jacksonian base of the GOP with the more libertarian Jeffersonian school of thought, this cogently argued manifesto hopes to grasp that opportunity, and to act as a clarion call for a new dominant realist foreign policy.
Michael Burleigh nos ofrece una visión radicalmente nueva del Tercer Reich desde su gestación hasta su destrucción final.
Antes de la aparición de esta obra, ganadora del prestigioso Premio de Ensayo Samuel Johnson 2001, no existía una historia completa sobre la Alemania nazi, a pesar de que ha sido uno de los fenómenos más estudiados del siglo XX.
Este libro demuestra que el abandono de la democracia y la tolerancia que protagonizó el Tercer Reich estaba extendido por la Europa de la época. Narra cómo un movimiento pseudorreligioso, imbuido de un sentimentalismo demagógico, parecía ofrecer la salvación a una Alemania exhausta por la guerra y la creciente inflación. Muestra las consecuencias de la desaparición del gobierno de la ley en favor del terror. Pero, a diferencia de otros recientes estudios de este periodo, no condena a toda la nación alemana. Explica lacompleja moralidad utilizada para «legitimar» el Holocausto por parte de quienes lo llevaron a cabo y recrea con brillantez las complejidades de la vida bajo un régimen totalitario, que gobernó casi toda Europa durante cuatro años.
Reseñas:
«Estas pasmosa investigación le dejará sin aliento. Más profunda que cualquier otra, es el producto de un verdadero genio.»
The Sunday Times
«Esta brillante visión de una gran tiranía es una importantísima contribución para entender el siglo XX.»
Booklist
We (Russian: Мы, romanized: My) is a dystopian novel by Russian writer Yevgeny Zamyatin, written 1920–1921.
The novel was first published as an English translation by Gregory Zilboorg in 1924 by E. P. Dutton in New York. The novel describes a world of harmony and conformity within a united totalitarian state. It is believed that the novel had a huge influence on the works of Orwell and Huxley, as well as on the emergence of the genre of dystopia.

The fascist mind and imagination hold the foreground of this picture, while enough of the political history and economic problems of the movement is brought Into the background to make clear how the fascisti intended their ideas to be applied. The interaction between fact and philosophic fiction, between practical exigencies and social theories, between mind and body, forms the dominant theme of the following Interpretation of fascism. To the practical politicians both within and without the movement the greater part of this ideology is mere froth. But to the student of the workings of the human mind such froth Is not negligible. Philosophies may not reveal the ultimate and universal nature of things, nor are they prime movers; but they are significant symptoms of social pathology and entertaining forms of human energy. I make this explicit statement here of my method, to save the reader the trouble of discovering for himself that this book is intended as both more and less than a history of fascism; it is a laboratory study of the mind and imagination at work.
The widening gulf between rural and urban America is becoming the most serious political divide of our day. Support for Democrats, up and down the ballot, has plummeted throughout the countryside, and the entire governing system is threatened by one-party dominance. After Donald Trump's surprising victories throughout rural America, pundits and journalists went searching for answers, popping into roadside diners and opining from afar. Rural Americans are supposedly bigots, culturally backward, lazy, scared of the future, and radical. But is it that simple?
This pathbreaking book pinpoints forces behind the rise of the 'rural voter'-a new political identity that combines a deeply felt sense of place with an increasingly nationalized set of concerns. Nicholas F. Jacobs and Daniel M. Shea uncover how this overwhelmingly crucial voting bloc emerged and how it has roiled American politics. They show how perceptions of economic and social change, racial anxieties, and a traditional way of life under assault have converged into a belief in rural uniqueness and separateness.
This book offers a timely warning that the chasm separating urban and rural Americans cannot be papered over with policies or rhetoric. Instead, The Rural Voter demonstrates, this division strikes at the heart of enduring conflicts over American identity.
Underserved is a tangible blueprint for today's conservative who understands the need for a new and viable political plan of action-one that addresses the needs of the underserved communities that make up these United States of America. Utilizing the concept of the 'Party of Lincoln' and the conservative principles set forth over centuries by the movement's most recognized thought leaders, Underserved examines President Lincoln's intentions for Reconstruction, President Grant's aims to implement that vision, and Frederick Douglass's influence on both men in the process. Underserved brings home the very real impact of a failed plan that has had negative implications on modern America, whether conservative, moderate, or liberal.
With this historical plan as the linchpin for creating a framework that services disenfranchised communities, authors Ja'Ron K. Smith and Chris Pilkerton challenge conservative policy makers to employ strategies that mirror those originally presented over 160 years ago, while making necessary concessions for its modern audience.
From education and workforce development to criminal justice reform and healthcare disparities, Underserved makes a bold statement about what is necessary to see a change in the current state of affairs and presents a realistic action plan to make it happen.
Pivoting from studies that emphasize the dominance of progressivism on American college campuses during the late sixties and early seventies, Lauren Lassabe Shepherd positions conservative critiques of, and agendas in, American colleges and universities as an essential dimension of a broader conversation of conservative backlash against liberal education.
This book explores the story of how stakeholders in American higher education organized and reacted to challenges to their power from the New Left and Black Power student resistance movements of the late 1960s. By examining the range of conservative student organizations and coalition building, Shepherd shows how wealthy donors and conservative intellectuals trained future GOP leaders such as Karl Rove, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, Pat Buchanan, and others in conservative politics, providing them with tactics to consciously drive American politics and culture further to the authoritarian right and to 'reclaim' American higher education.
«Estas son páginas notables por su contenido explosivo y revelador, y una radiografía de la metástasis de ese cáncer alimentado por el gran corruptor.»

Tras el éxito de El rey del cash, Elena Chávez nos sumerge una vez más en las entrañas de un sistema político donde la corrupción parece haberse convertido en la norma. A través de testimonios contundentes, se pone al descubierto cómo el presidente y sus cómplices han creado intrincados esquemas ilegales en beneficio propio.
En esta investigación, la autora aborda casos alarmantes que van desde la Secretaría de Educación Pública, convertida en una escuela de malversación, hasta la policía transformada en una caja de fondos ilícitos. También explora los coqueteos de la presente administración con el crimen organizado y la destrucción de instituciones como Notimex. Además, expone las prácticas de influyentismo y nepotismo de diversos funcionarios públicos, las finanzas inexplicables de la autodenominada «no primeradama» o las actividades extorsionadoras de los hijos del presidente. Sin embargo, el epicentro se sitúa en el robo a los adultos mayores, el programa estandarte de López Obrador. A pesar de sus condenas de «pecado social» hacia sus opositores, este libro presenta pruebas de que una de sus operadoras principales también ha cometido un «pecado social» al desviar millones de pesos, inflando de manera exponencial el padrón de beneficiarios.
Así, esta obra desenmascara al Rey del cash bajo otro nombre, el Gran corruptor, y se constituye como un llamado a la reflexión crítica y una valiente denuncia de los abusos de poder que amenazan el futuro del país.

Die ÖVP hat sich den Staat und seine Institutionen in den letzten Jahrzehnten unter den Nagel gerissen. Die türkise Truppe rund um Sebastian Kurz hat im Stil eines Putsches 2017 die Macht in der ÖVP übernommen und danach aus dem Kanzleramt heraus einen 'Tiefen Staat' entwickelt. Sie nutzte die Allmacht für Postenschacher, Freunderlwirtschaft und nicht zuletzt 'Medienkauf ' in bisher ungekanntem Ausmaß. Für den Hauptdarsteller in dieser Schmierenkomödie nahm die Polit-Karriere ein jähes Ende. Kurz verlor den Kanzlerposten und muss sich vor Gericht verantworten.
So tief der Fall war, so hartnäckig halten sich Gerüchte, dass der einstige Messias der ÖVP auferstehen und in die Politik zurückkehren könnte. Ist er also nur 'kurz mal weg'? Oder ist 'Kurz mal weg' – und zwar endgültig? Dieses Buch ist ein Plädoyer für die zweite Variante, denn was der ÖVP-Korruptions-Untersuchungsausschuss herausgearbeitet hat, sollte bei Weitem ausreichen, damit dieses unrühmliche Kapitel in Österreichs Geschichte für immer geschlossen bleibt. In diesem Buch sind viele, aber längst nicht alle Missetaten nachzulesen.
