The Psychology of Attack Politics
The Psychology of Attack Politics explores negativity in election campaigns, and the way in which the, often deliberate, use of negative messaging impacts voters, and has wide reaching societal consequences.
Deliberative Democracy and Ecological Transition
Democracies are struggling to respond to the climate crisis. One promising approach to the ecological transition is based on innovations involving panels of citizens drawn at random. Many countries have experimented with this form of deliberative democracy at national and local levels. These citizens' assemblies formulate public policy proposals. The French Citizens' Convention for Climate is the largest in terms of size, duration and mandate. Thanks to a multi-disciplinary field survey involving around twenty researchers, this book provides an understanding of the complexity of this experience from several angles: procedures and processes; the identity and roles of its members; relationships with expertise and representatives; evaluation and comparison with other cases. Deliberative Democracy and Ecological Transition plays an important role in reflecting on an original practice of democratic innovation and its potential for fair governance of climate policies.

International Organizations and the Management of Regime Complexity
Regime complexity, which is characterized by overlap between international organizations (IOs) concerning both policy competencies and member states, has been increasing over time. It is a defining feature of today's international system. As the regime complexity literature points out, overlaps between IOs carry potential negative effects, such as duplicated efforts or incompatible norms. This book argues that IOs can actively manage regime complexity and potentially avoid negative side effects or even create positive benefits. Yet, overlapping IOs differ in how they react. To explain under what conditions IOs disregard overlaps or manage them by resorting to confrontation or collaboration, this book addresses the following research questions: Why do organizations differ in their responses to overlaps? Why do some opt for disregard while others choose confrontation or engage in collaboration? These questions are answered by studying a subset of IOs, namely regional international organizations (RIOs), which recruit their member states on the basis of geographic criteria. It introduces a novel theoretical selection model on three junctures: saliency, ideological fit, and contextual uncertainties. This influences whether overlapping RIOs disregard one another and do not actively manage regional regime complexity (low saliency), when they choose confrontation (high saliency but low ideological fit) and when they opt for one of two ways to engage in collaboration, namely coordination (high saliency, high ideological fit, limited contextual uncertainty), or cooperation (high saliency, high ideological fit, high contextual uncertainty). The corresponding hypotheses are comprehensively analyzed in qualitative case studies from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe. Transformations in Governance is a major academic book series from Oxford University Press. It is designed to accommodate the impressive growth of research in comparative politics, international relations, public policy, federalism, and environmental and urban studies concerned with the dispersion of authority from central states to supranational institutions, subnational governments, and public-private networks. It brings together work that advances our understanding of the organization, causes, and consequences of multilevel and complex governance. The series is selective, containing annually a small number of books of exceptionally high quality by leading and emerging scholars. The series is edited by Liesbet Hooghe and Gary Marks of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Walter Mattli of the University of Oxford.
After Equality
After Equality tackles one of the biggest challenges facing LGBT activists in many parts of the world: how to move beyond inclusive legislation to ensure LGBT people can exercise their newly acquired rights. Drawing from in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation with two lesbian organizations in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Cape Town, South Africa, Julie Moreau explores the ways that organizations use identity to make rights useful. Engaging interdisciplinary scholarship and intersectional theory, Moreau develops a novel approach to identity strategizing that explains how activists engage multiple identities to challenge the relationships between identity categories and address the ways interlocking systems of power affect their constituents. By analyzing sexual identity as always constructed through race, class and gender, the book transforms how scholars understand the role of identity in the strategic repertoires of social movement organizations and illuminates dimensions of identity politics that surface in the aftermath of legal inclusion.
University
The American university--one of the most successful institutions in human history--is facing an unprecedented assault from the president of the United States. Experts on authoritarianism have drawn comparisons to Turkey and Hungary, where strongmen subdued universities as part of their power grabs. Yet as former Columbia president Lee C. Bollinger points out in his powerful account of the university's significance, in such dire times one has no choice but to state clearly and forcefully what one stands for.Defenses of the university usually emphasize the practical benefits it offers to society: highly skilled graduates who can thrive in an information-saturated world; scientific research that leads to important advances in health; technological breakthroughs that contribute to the American economy being the envy of the world. Bollinger offers a more original, and more sweeping, account. He reveals how the structure of the university contributes to the success of the American system--because it provides those who study and work within it a degree of creative freedom hard to find elsewhere--and why that structure is both impossible to re-create and vulnerable to outside attack. The fundamental mission of the university is to enhance knowledge, but this is not merely a high-minded idea. It is, as Bollinger demonstrates, a notion rooted deeply in the Constitution, specifically the First Amendment, the basis of our political and social life. The university helps realize the First Amendment; the First Amendment helps make the university.Bollinger argues that, in a challenging era for the business of journalism, the university remains an essential source of truth-seeking for those who still believe in democracy. The stakes are self-evident: The university must be defended if the American experiment is to continue.
Welfare for a Humane Future
Welfare for a Humane Future by David Matthews and Howard Waitzkin critiques the capitalist welfare state, emphasizing its role in sustaining racial capitalism's exploitative structures. The authors argue that welfare under capitalism reinforces racial and class divisions, as seen in historical policies like the New Deal, which excluded Black workers. They envision a post-capitalist welfare system rooted in communal values-love, solidarity, and participatory democracy-drawing inspiration from global examples like Rojava's democratic confederalism, Venezuela's communes, and Cooperation Jackson's solidarity economy. Key components include cooperative housing, community-controlled healthcare, and universal basic income, all managed through local assemblies. The book highlights mutual aid and grassroots organizing as pathways to transformative change, urging readers to build alternative institutions within capitalist societies. By prioritizing collective well-being over profit, the authors advocate for a welfare system that empowers communities and fosters equity.

Making Sense of Knowledge
What counts as knowledge, expertise, and theory? How are knowledge hierarchies connected to emotional and hierarchies of subjects? How does the division between emotion and reason shape our experiences? The Element addresses these questions by exploring the Greek feminist birth control movement (1974-1986), focusing on the production and circulation of knowledge, termed as affective epistemologies of antimilima (talking back). This concept reinterprets women's lived and embodied knowledge, emerging at the intersection of academia and social movements, as a form of resistance against established expertise. By drawing on feminist theorists like Donna Haraway and Sara Ahmed, the Element critically examines the relationship between scientific and experiential knowledge. This analysis reconfigures the interplay between rationality and emotion, providing a critique to the binary model of thought and suggesting new avenues for democratic knowledge, society, and citizenship. Historical tracing of these theories offers a counter-narrative to contemporary anti-gender, anti-intellectual, and far-right politics.

Making Sense of Knowledge
What counts as knowledge, expertise, and theory? How are knowledge hierarchies connected to emotional and hierarchies of subjects? How does the division between emotion and reason shape our experiences? The Element addresses these questions by exploring the Greek feminist birth control movement (1974-1986), focusing on the production and circulation of knowledge, termed as affective epistemologies of antimilima (talking back). This concept reinterprets women's lived and embodied knowledge, emerging at the intersection of academia and social movements, as a form of resistance against established expertise. By drawing on feminist theorists like Donna Haraway and Sara Ahmed, the Element critically examines the relationship between scientific and experiential knowledge. This analysis reconfigures the interplay between rationality and emotion, providing a critique to the binary model of thought and suggesting new avenues for democratic knowledge, society, and citizenship. Historical tracing of these theories offers a counter-narrative to contemporary anti-gender, anti-intellectual, and far-right politics.

Lessons from the Streets
Portland, Oregon was the only city that rioted in response to Trump's first election. We took to the streets for nearly a week and stood up to attacks by the police and fledgling far-right groups. Portland paid a price, but we prided ourselves on the resistance we had mounted. So, when Trump was reelected, it felt like our efforts had been fruitless. We seem to have lost hope. No one knows what to do or how to respond. All we truly have is the streets and each other. And if we want to know what to do, we need to look back at what we did before. We may not have defeated fascism, but we did learn some lessons.

Utopia
THE TRANSFORMATION OF UTOPIA IN THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, FROM A ROMANTIC IDEAL TO A POLITICAL OBJECTIVE Until the Age of Enlightenment, utopia was a popular literary genre, but without concrete political effects. However, in the decades leading up to 1789, its status gradually changed from an entertaining thought experiment to a socialist project. Imagining the ideal city took on the task of articulating revolutionary transformation of society towards equality and social justice. In Utopia, St矇phanie Roza explores the nascent ideal of a community of property and labour, not yet called communism, and the thinkers who engaged with it in the lead-up to the French Revolution. These philosophers included ?tienne-Gabriel Morelly, a fierce critic of private property and the mysterious author of the Code de la Nature; the Abb矇 de Mably, a radical republican and interlocutor of Rousseau; and Gracchus Babeuf, who, from the 1780s onwards, defended the natural right to subsistence and dreamed of a more fraternal world. Together, they laid the foundations for modern socialist movements. In the crucible of the French Revolution, 'real equality' became the goal of a handful of conspirators gathered around Babeuf, who had meanwhile become the 'tribune of the people'. The Conspiracy of Equals was considered by Marx to be 'the first active communist party' the hopes and questions that ran through the group prefigured those of the militants of later periods, including today.

How Not to Be a Political Wife
'You think you've married a journalist, then, horrors, he becomes a politician.' 'Sarah Vine is the Bridget Jones of politics.' Plum Sykes 'Everyone in Westminster is talking about it.' The London Standard 'I take it all back; she's fabulous. Nobody in Westminster can afford not to buy this book.' Rachel Johnson 'Moving and heartfelt - what a journey. I'm amazed she's still standing.' Imogen Edwards-Jones How Not to Be a Political Wife is an unflinching account of life at the heart of politics, and what it's like to have politics rip the heart out of your life. It's a story of high hopes and dirty tricks, broken friendships and divided loyalties, laughter and glamour.Recollections, as a great woman once said, may of course vary, but this is my story, the way I remember it, written with no fear, no favour - and no fucks left to give.Buckle up.I thought long and hard about writing this memoir. I've done so not to settle old scores or plead my case, but more because I hope it's a tale worth telling, not just for those who are interested in the political events of the past few years, but also because it's about the people and characters behind those events, and why things ended up the way they did.For nearly 20 years I was inside the rooms of government, a sanctioned eavesdropper on the rise - and fall - of the Cameroon style of Conservatism. At the same time I was building a career in journalism, raising two children and doing my best to support my own husband, Michael Gove, on his political journey. I was both an insider and an outsider; an observer - via my journalism - as well as a participant in the cut and thrust (mainly cut, if I'm honest) of frontline politics.After my divorce from Michael and the demise of the Conservatives' Old Guard, that all came to an end. I'm no longer officially a Westminster WAG, but you won't find me mourning. Politics trampled my health, my happiness, my marriage, my sanity; it placed intolerable pressure on my loved ones, especially my children; it twisted my sense of self, and others' sense of me; it tainted everything I did or said. I can't say I miss it. I do, however, miss the life and the relationships I had before it all. These are the recollections of a survivor, but they are also a love letter to all that was lost in the wreck.
School of Woke
From one of America's most relentless critics of Critical Race Theory comes this far-reaching, on-the-ground investigation of how CRT infiltrated our public schools and transformed them into activism factories--with disastrous results. Awareness of the rise of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools and how it has shaped our education system took the U.S. by storm over the last few years. Parents truly became aware for the first time how deeply entrenched CRT was in the classrooms, and their eyes were opened to the insidious agenda thoroughly embedded in public schools. As a result, CRT and parental rights in education became some of the most explosive issues facing Americans today. Kenny Xu is a perceptive and relentless critic of CRT and our culture's war on meritocracy. And now, in School of Woke, Xu exposes how CRT is transforming public schools and having a destructive impact on our children's education--and their future. In School of Woke, Xu provides historical context to the rise of Critical Race Theory in education, tracing it back to elite graduate schools in the 1970s and showing how the ideology became institutionalized and credentialed. Xu covers the battles taking place in the most problematic and contested school districts in the nation, including Loudoun and Fairfax County Public Schools in Northern Virginia and Santa Barbara High School in California. He also exposes the lucrative business model behind the diversity consulting industrial complex that is instrumental in the curricular wars, revealing how educators and administrators have been gaslighting the public about the prevalence of this radical ideology in the classrooms, where children as young as five are being segregated in the classroom by race and are being taught that whiteness is inherently evil. A work of colorful reportage, historical analysis, and cultural commentary, School of Woke reveals what it will take to extricate our next generation from the destructive trends in our once-vaunted public school education system.
