The Militarisation of British Democracy
This book argues that the pursuit of war and the further militarisation of British democracy since 9/11 has led the UK into a permanent state of war and made the nation particularly prone to military aggression rather than managing conflict through negotiation. Within NATO, Britain is among the most belligerent nations ratcheting up military expenditure and the use of violence to manage conflict. The militarisation of British (and Western) states and authoritarian values have been manufactured to provide domestic support for permanent war. Failure in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Ukraine and the Middle East has not reduced confidence in the use of military aggression as NATO seeks confrontation in a 'New Cold War' between 'democracy' and 'authoritarian' Russia and China. Paradoxically, Britain and the West's militarisation proposes to destroy democracy in order to save it, and to provide authoritarian states with the excuse to become more authoritarian.
Contemporary Islamist Opposition in Morocco
This book offers an in-depth and yet-unexplored analysis of the evolution and actions of Moroccan Islamist association Justice and Spirituality (al-Adl wa-l-Ihsane). By examining its mobilisation structure, the book enhances the understanding of Islamism as an oppositional force in non-democratic regimes, with a particular focus on Morocco. Contrary to the common premises of inclusion-moderation theory, al-Adl wa-l-Ihsane has undergone a politicisation process but rejects political inclusion; it promotes street mobilisation but refuses to resort to violence. Despite its illegal status and disregard for the regime's red lines, al-Adl wa-l-Ihsane remains highly relevant as an anti-establishment actor. This book fills a significant gap in knowledge about al-Adl wa-l-Ihsane. It further broadens the understanding of inclusion-moderation theory by introducing novel explanatory factors for al-Adl wa-l-Ihsane's evolution and strategies, such as responses to shifts in opportunity structures and the impact of internal dynamics and learning mechanisms.
European Union Enlargement and Democratisation
Enlargement is often considered to be the strongest foreign policy tool available to the European Union, and is instrumental in the EU's efforts to spread its liberal democratic norms in the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. However, the experience of recent years has painted a more uneven picture. While the EU's norms have proven to be reasonably robust in countries such as Czechia, in others, most notably Hungary, they have proven to be far more fragile. What accounts for this post-accession variation in adherence to liberal democratic norms between the post-communist Central and Eastern European Countries? And what implications does this have for the use of enlargement policy as a means for spreading democracy? This book explains the processes and mechanisms which determine how the liberal democratic norms of the European Union can be transferred to another country; and why enlargement has had such mixed results to date.
The Rise of Inequality and the Fall of Social Mobility
This book examines the disappearance of upward mobility and the rise of inequality within Western societies. It explores intergenerational social mobility and charts its evolution over recent decades. Particular attention is given to the economic changes that have impacted social mobility trends since the introduction of neoliberal doctrine by the Reagan and Thatcher governments. The promises of meritocracy and increased opportunity through education are shown to be false during a time when trickle-down economics - namely, deregulation and austerity in public policies - is driving a rise in inequality, with the benefits of economic growth being collected by the wealthy elite. By highlighting the negative impacts of these economic trends, including the increase in poorly paid and insecure jobs, a new set of public policies are presented that better utilise the skills present within the labour market to create economic equity.This book challenges the neoliberal consensus and sets out economic reforms for a fair society. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the political economy, economic systems, and labor economics.The English translation of this book, originally in Italian, was done with the help of artificial intelligence. The content was later revised by the author for accuracy.
Spaces of Europeanisation in the Balkans
This book tackles the spatial dimension of Europeanization in the Balkans by focusing on cities, inter-urban networks, and urban epistemic communities.Exploring the participation of urban actors from the Balkans in 18 European inter-urban networks, it employs a new mixed-method framework to show how such participation continuously reshapes Balkan Cities' urban trajectories with contradictory and variegated consequences. Against the backdrop of the existing state and conflict-centred literature on (failures) of European integration in the region, the author offers a fresh perspective on Europeanization as it unfolds through direct inter-city cooperation.This volume will be of interest to both scholars of urban studies and Southeast European Studies, as well as anyone interested in the Europeanization of the Balkans and its cities.
How Will Capitalism End?
One of the "Best Books of the Year" Guardian - Financial Times - Times Higher Education A major collection of essays that questions whether contemporary capitalism will end with a bang or a whimper--from a leading political economist and the author of Buying Time. After years of ill health, capitalism is now in a critical condition. Growth has given way to stagnation; inequality is leading to instability; and confidence in the money economy has all but evaporated. In How Will Capitalism End?, the acclaimed analyst of contemporary politics and economics Wolfgang Streeck argues that the world is about to change. The marriage between democracy and capitalism, ill-suited partners brought together in the shadow of World War II, is coming to an end. The regulatory institutions that once restrained the financial sector's excesses have collapsed and, after the final victory of capitalism at the end of the Cold War, there is no political agency capable of rolling back the liberalization of the markets. Ours has become a world defined by declining growth, oligarchic rule, a shrinking public sphere, institutional corruption and international anarchy, and no cure to these ills is at hand.

Solidarity
A VULTURE BEST BOOK - From renowned organizers and activists Leah Hunt-Hendrix and Astra Taylor, comes the first in-depth examination of Solidarity--not just as a rallying cry, but as potent political movement with potential to effect lasting change. A DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE FINALIST "A window into what is possible when we reject the politics of division, trade individualism for interconnectedness and prioritize coming together for the greater good."--Heather McGhee, author of The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone "Reads at once like a moral treatise and a rallying manifesto, a call to reflect and lock arms."--The Washington Post Solidarity is often invoked, but it is rarely analyzed and poorly understood. Here, two leading activists and thinkers survey the past, present, and future of the concept across borders of nation, identity, and class to ask: how can we build solidarity in an era of staggering inequality, polarization, violence, and ecological catastrophe? Offering a lively and lucid history of the idea--from Ancient Rome through the first European and American socialists and labor organizers, to twenty-first century social movements like Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter--Hunt-Hendrix and Taylor trace the philosophical debates and political struggles that have shaped the modern world. Looking forward, they argue that a clear understanding of how solidarity is built and sustained, and an awareness of how it has been suppressed, is essential to warding off the many crises of our present: right-wing backlash, irreversible climate damage, widespread alienation, loneliness, and despair. Hunt-Hendrix and Taylor insist that solidarity is both a principle and a practice, one that must be cultivated and institutionalized, so that care for the common good becomes the central aim of politics and social life.

A Contemporary History of Marx's Capital
Paolo Favilli provides both students and scholars with an original reading of themes and issues found in Karl Marx's Das Kapital and its connections with present- day challenges. By way of continuous cross- referencing between present and past, Favilli demonstrates that claims regarding the scientific status of Das Kapital, advanced by countless texts since its original publication, are themselves deeply imbued by the 'spirit of the times'. If in 1963 Jean-Paul Sartre could write that Marxism was the unsurpassable philosophical horizon of our times, what could make an undergraduate student today consider such a claim plausible?Informed by the latest research on Marxist theory and decades of teaching the Philosophy of History, Favilli employs a didactic approach stimulating student engagement and learning opportunities in the classroom. This approach allows for a better understanding of relationship between the present and the multiple temporalities that characterise and periodise the contemporary era. What follows is a critique of the contemporary academy for its hangover of post-1989 nuovismo (cult of novelty) and inability to make the proper distinctions between Marxism-as-party-state, the works of Karl Marx, and Marxism as an object of history. This led to the spectacle where after 1989, those who had spent most of their careers as Marxist-hued scholars not only abandoned this identity but also spurned any recognition that Marx and Marxism were worthwhile objects of enquiry.This book was first published in Italian as A proposito de 'Il capitale'..., Il lungo presente e i miei studenti. Corso di storia contemporanea (Milan: FrancoAngeli, 2021). This English translation includes a new foreword by the author.

Beyond Control
In this incisive book, Reason editor Jacob Sullum untangles America's twin crusades against guns and drugs, suggesting better-tailored alternatives that do more good while causing less harm. Does gun control work? What about drug prohibition? In this cogent examination of two of America's most enduring challenges, Reason Senior Editor Jacob Sullum traces the evolution of gun and drug laws from their dubious beginnings to today's divisive rhetoric. Based on data-driven analysis and compassionate consideration of the human costs imposed by the twin crusades against guns and drugs, Sullum recommends an alternative approach that focuses on reducing harm, including the harm caused by misguided policies. Sullum exposes the racist roots of gun control and drug control, noting that both policies continue to have a racially disproportionate impact. Even leaving aside the legacy of that dark history, he argues, both policies are unjust because they punish people for conduct that violates no one's rights. They are also dangerous to civil liberties because they encourage the expansion of government power at the expense of individual freedom. The burdens imposed by gun control and drug control reinforce each other, since gun possession increases penalties for drug offenses and drug offenses disqualify people from legally possessing guns. Yet there is little logic to these legal regimes, which penalize people for behavior that is not inherently criminal. Decades of research have produced scant evidence that popular gun control prescriptions such as assault weapon bans, universal background checks, restrictions on ownership, and red flag laws work as advertised. Research on the impact of the war on drugs likewise provides little reason to believe that its doubtful benefits outweigh its myriad costs. In both cases, the burdens often fall on peaceful individuals who pose no threat to public safety, and the policies seem ill-designed to reduce the problems they aim to address. Sullum notes that critics of gun control and critics of the war on drugs make similar points, complaining that these policies are unfair, invasive, poorly targeted, and ineffective. But because these two sets of critics tend to come from opposing political camps, they usually overlook their common ground. Beyond Control surveys that territory, showing that conservatives and progressive share concerns about overcriminalization, overzealous law enforcement, draconian penalties, and the erosion of civil liberties. Substance abuse, violence, and suicide are complex problems that cannot be solved by targeting inanimate objects or by arresting and incarcerating people who possess them. Beyond Control urges better-tailored alternatives that would do more good while causing less harm.

Pauli s Report
In 1942, the Wehrmacht was forced to partially de-motorise its army until 1945. The reason for this? Lack of fuel. This split the German military into two parallel forces: one mechanised, the other reliant on horses. Almost a century later, an eerily similar crisis looms. If China and India consumed as much oil per capita as the United States, then current production would not be enough to meet their needs. As their economic growth is inevitable, the same paradigm as that of the German army in 1942 could become a reality by 2040. In other words, countries across the globe which consume oil to the detriment of other countries, are excluded de facto. Who will dominate when access to oil becomes exclusionary? What alliances will emerge? Is our countdown tied to the last drop of fossil fuel? In addition to an analysis based on figures, we propose to challenge our perception of the world, in order to bring a different understanding of our history and our future.
Secure the Blessings of Liberty
America finds herself at a crossroads, facing attacks from within and without. Her most significant threats are the forces of evil exploiting her undefended southern border.In Secure the Blessings of Liberty: To Ourselves and Our Posterity, Christopher N. Hatley reveals our government's deliberate and systemic failure to secure the border with Mexico, which has created a pathway for drug trafficking, sex trafficking, illegal immigration, disease, and terrorism. From a warrior's perspective and with steadfast conviction, Hatley analyzes how the open-border policies, complicit politicians, and societal degeneration undermine our once healthy and cohesive societal order grounded in the traditional Hebrew-Christian values of our ancestors. Secure the Blessings of Liberty builds on Hatley's first book, Provide for the Common Defence: Border Defence, with a fresh call to action for patriots and policymakers. He encourages his readers to wake up to the coordinated attacks by those who hope to dismantle our country and sacrifice her on the altar of Marxist globalism. Drawing from decades of military planning experience, Hatley outlines a bold strategy to reclaim our borders, institutions, and Christian faith. Guided by Scripture and the Constitution, his vision to save America is decisive, firm, and fair.

Economy without Property
What comes after capitalism-and what if the "after" has already begun?This book takes you on a journey to digital commons, new forms of ownership beyond private property, and the architecture of possible post-capitalist economic models.

The volume highlights how digital commons and cooperative platforms are creating new spaces for participation, sustainability, and fairer distribution-while also asking the uncomfortable question of whether these tools could also serve to perfect capitalism in its most extreme form to date. Between utopia and warning, between technical feasibility and political reality, a profound analysis unfolds that is as relevant for academics as it is for practitioners, activists, and policymakers.Bremen University Press has published over 5,000 specialist books in various languages since 2005.1st edition 2025

The Libertarian Compass
This book invites readers to rediscover a political philosophy that places the individual - not the state - at the centre of public life. Libertarianism is rooted in the belief that people flourish best when free to make their own choices, trade freely, associate voluntarily, take personal responsibility, and live without coercion from an overreaching government. In an age of growing bureaucracy, creeping authoritarianism, and mounting economic distortion, libertarianism offers not just resistance - but a compelling alternative. This collection of forty short essays explores timeless principles through the lens of modern challenges, from economic freedom and decentralisation to civil liberties, community cohesion, and global peace. These are not academic treatises or party talking points - they are sharp, accessible reflections inquiry, and political observation. Topics range from tax policy and government overreach to personal freedom, cultural resilience, and national prosperity. What inspired this book was the need for a universal ethical framework - one that makes sense of political choices, supports moral clarity, and helps us build a nation where no one is held back by bureaucracy or prejudice, and where every person with the will to succeed is free to do so. As libertarian ideas surge again on the world stage - from Argentina to New Zealand, and across Europe and North America - it's time to reassert the case for liberty here in Australia. This book is both a defence of classical liberal values and a challenge to the status quo. It is an invitation to think freely, to question inherited assumptions, and to reimagine what a truly free society could look like today and beyond.
The Second Bill of Rights
How our economic rights are fundamental to the security and stability of our democracy. In 1944, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave a State of the Union Address that should be counted as the greatest political speech of the twentieth century. In it, Roosevelt grappled with the definition of security in a democracy, concluding that "unless there is security here at home, there cannot be lasting peace in the world." To help ensure that security, he proposed a "Second Bill of Rights"--economic rights that he saw as necessary to political freedom, including a right to education, a right to adequate health care, a right to a home, and a right to protection against destitution. Many of the great legislative achievements of the past eighty years stem from Roosevelt's vision. In The Second Bill of Rights, Cass Sunstein uses this speech as a launching point to show how these rights are vital to the continuing security of our nation. This is an ambitious, sweeping book that argues for a new vision of FDR, of constitutional history, and of our current political scene that has never been more urgent or more relevant.
