In this thoroughly researched book, Benen, blogger and award-winning producer of the Rachel Maddow Show, makes a solid case that in recent years, Republicans have repeatedly upended their once-cherished beliefs in order to focus on more power-oriented political and ideological goals. The author clearly demonstrates how Republicans have consistently reversed positions in order to score points against the Democrats, whether on trade, taxes, guns, immigration, or deficits. Regarding deficits, "since Watergate. every Democratic president has left office with a deficit smaller than when he started, and every Republican president has left office with a deficit larger than when he arrived." Furthermore, even when Republicans agreed with Democrats, at least in principle, as in the case of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, their votes often failed to reflect bipartisanship. Despite 130 congressional hearings over multiple committees, Republicans--who had once supported many of the Affordable Care Act's tenets--claimed Obama had "rammed through" the ACA. A particularly ironic example of willful contrariness was the Ebola crisis of 2014, during which Republicans either accused Obama of being "too hands off" or of being alarmist. Donald Trump. who had yet to declare his candidacy, even called for his resignation. The author ably lays out the many disturbing trends in the Republican political arena, making a convincing case for his argument that the GOP has "quit governing" and now merely focuses on attaining and wielding power or simply negating any progress made by Democrats. A cleareyed argument that "strategy and governing [have] been replaced by instincts and partisan id."

""Nous avions beaucoup enduré et puis, un jour, nous nous sommes dit que cela ne pouvait plus durer. Nous avions trop longtemps baissé les bras. A nouveau cependant - comme nous avions pu le faire à l'occasion, comme d'autres si souvent l'avaient fait avant nous - nous élevons nos bras au-dessus de nos épaules encore fourbies par l'aliénation, courbées par la douleur, par l'injustice, par l'accablement qui régnaient jusque-là. C'est alors que nous nous relevons : nous projetons nos bras en l'air, en avant. Nous relevons la tête. Nous retrouvons la libre puissance de regarder en face. Nous ouvrons, nous rouvrons la bouche. Nous crions, nous chantons notre désir. Avec nos amis nous discutons de comment faire, nous réfléchissons, nous imaginons, nous avançons, nous agissons, nous inventons. Nous nous sommes soulevés." Ce livre est un essai de phénoménologie et d'anthropologie - voire une poétique - des gestes de soulèvement. Il interroge les corps avec la psyché à travers le lien profond, paradoxal, dialectique, qui s'instaure entre le désir et la mémoire. Comme il y a "ce qui nous regarde" par-delà "ce que nous croyons voir" ; il y aurait peut-être "ce qui nous soulève" par-delà "ce que nous croyons être". C'est une question posée en amont - ou en dedans - de nos opinions ou actions partisanes : question posée, donc, aux gestes et aux imaginations politiques. Question posée à la puissance de se soulever, même lorsque le pouvoir n'est pas en vue. Cette puissance est indestructible comme le désir lui-même. C'est une puissance de désobéir. Elle est si inventive qu'elle mérite une attention tout à la fois précise (parce que le singulier, en l'espèce, nous dit plus que l'universel) et erratique (parce que les soulèvements surgissent en des temps, en des lieux et à des échelles où on ne les attendait pas)."

This book focuses on the broad implications of the transformation of Canada from a peacekeeping to a war-making nation during the Conservative Party's recent decade in power. Funds were poured into the Canadian Forces, and a newly militarized nation found itself entrenched in conflicts around the globe. For decades, Canada had played a leading role in UN peacekeeping, and when the Cold War ended, the prospect of international harmony was infectious. Yet in short order hostilities erupted in the failed states of Rwanda, Somalia, and the Balkans; terrorism - including 9/11 - raised its head; and Iraq and Afghanistan became war zones. In the face of these immense challenges, the UN was dismissed by its opponents as irrelevant. Structured around an anti-war perspective, The Lamb and the Tiger critically examines the ageless genetic and more recent cultural (civilizational) explanations of war, concluding with a close look at the impact of war and right-wing politics on women and Indigenous peoples. The Lamb and the Tiger encourages Canadians to think about what kind of military and what kind of country they really want

Dem japanischen Nationalismus wurde seit der Jahrtausendwende vermehrte Beachtung in Medien und Wissenschaft zuteil, wobei man Japan mitunter einen Rechtsruck attestierte. Im Gegensatz zu der oft isolierten Betrachtung einzelner Phänomene in bisherigen Beiträgen, bietet die vorgelegte Studie ein Gesamttableau des japanischen Gegenwartsnationalismus in einschlägigen Diskursfeldern. Hierzu werden Formen, Konstruktion, Verwendung und Ziele japanischer Identität analysiert, wobei das Verständnis durch empirisches Material weiter vertieft wird. Es zeigt sich dabei, dass der japanische Gegenwartsnationalismus auf Eliten- und Massenebene nicht losgelöst von regionalen und globalen Entwicklungen gesehen werden kann. Denn deren politische, sozioökonomische und kulturelle Herausforderungen sowie die verstärkte Präsenz »des Anderen« befördern maßgeblich die Beschäftigung mit der eigenen Identität und Geschichte und führen zur grundlegenden Überprüfung und Anpassung etablierter Nationenbilder. »Discourses of Patriotism in Contemporary Japan« The political, socioeconomic and cultural impact of globalization has led to an increased awareness of the »other«. In Japan this has triggered vivid discussions of Japanese identity and history which have intensified since the 2000s. This study analyzes the manifestation, construction and utilization of national identity in relevant discourses and shows how globalization does not only challenge concepts of Japanese identity, but also promotes their rediscovery and reinterpretation. Die Globalisierung hat Japan vor umfassende politische, sozioökonomische und kulturelle Herausforderungen gestellt, die ab der Jahrtausendwende eine intensive (Neu-)Beschäftigung mit der eigenen Identität und Geschichte anregten. Das Buch analysiert diese Entwicklung in relevanten Feldern des japanischen Diskurses und zeigt, wie die verstärkte Präsenz »des Anderen« eine umfassende (Neu-)Entdeckung, Überprüfung und Neuinterpretation nationaler Identität auf der Eliten- und Massenebene beförderte.
