The war and the present preoccupation with post-war plans have brought about a general awareness of the fact that the Americas have been a testing ground for the orderly organization of relations among sovereign states, especially in the development of cooperative principles and techniques. The construction of a political organization within which these principles and techniques could be consolidated has not, however, characterized the American experience. The Pan American Union, for example, is expressly denied the right to consider political or controversial questions, and proposals for the creation of a "league" or "association" of American states has met with courteous but definite coolness.

ABSTRACTThe honorific term gazi has a significant place in right‐wing politics in Turkey as a key symbol of Turkish nationalism and Islamism. Historically a title associated with Muslim warriors and Ottoman and Turkish sovereigns, it has gained a renewed visibility in everyday life and politics since the 1990s, when the Turkish state began to bestow this title on disabled veterans returning from the counterinsurgency war in Kurdistan. As the war's toll rose, thousands of young, lower‐class men who were badly wounded during their mandatory military service ended up joining the ranks of the gazis, and their injured lives and honored status would go on to become an important point of nationalist rhetoric and action. In Sacrificial Limbs, Salih Can Açıksöz takes his readers deep into the world of Turkey's contemporary gazis, chronicling diverse aspects of their lives – from their memories of war and traumatic experiences of injury, to their everyday struggles in the intimacy of their homes, at healthcare institutions, at work, and on the streets. Traversing disabled veterans' social and political networks, Açıksöz lays bare a dangerously fragile masculinity and its constitutive interactions with state sovereignty, neoliberal governmentality, and ultranationalist politicization.

International audience ; International recognition has generally been discussed from the point of view of international law and modern history. By contrast, this volume takes a long-term perspective of more than two thousand years of European and world history and approaches the issue of recognition as a political process.

RUSSIA'S CURRENT POLITICAL CRISIS HAS ITS ROOTS IN THE FAILURE OF THE CENTRAL REFORMS AND THE ENDURING POWER OF THOSE WHO RUN THE CONGLOMERATE ENTERPRISES THAT STILL DOMINATE THE ECONOMY. THE STATUS OF MINING OPERATIONS IN VORKUTA ILLUMINATES THE COSTS OF AN ECONOMIC "SHOCK THERAPY" THAT IS ALL SHOCK AND NO THERAPY.

"More than six decades after John Dewey's death, his political philosophy is undergoing a revival. With renewed interest in pragmatism and its implications for democracy in an age of mass communication, bureaucracy, and ever-increasing social complexities, Dewey's The Public and Its Problems, first published in 1927, remains vital to any discussion of today's political issues. This edition of The Public and Its Problems, meticulously annotated and interpreted with fresh insight by MelvinL. Rogers, radically updates the previous version published by Swallow Press. Rogers's introduction locates Dewey's work within its philosophical and historical context and explains its key ideas for a contemporary readership. Biographical information and a detailed bibliography round out this definitive edition, which will be essential to students and scholars both"--

Fascism has traditionally been characterized as irrational and anti-intellectual, finding expression exclusively as a cluster of myths, emotions, instincts, and hatreds. This intellectual history of Italian Fascism--the product of four decades of work by one of the leading experts on the subject in the English-speaking world--provides an alternative account. A. James Gregor argues that Italian Fascism may have been a flawed system of belief, but it was neither more nor less irrational than other revolutionary ideologies of the twentieth century. Gregor makes this case by presenting for the fi

AbstractDigital transformation of information led us to reconsider Hayek's (American Economic Review, 35, 519–530) insight on a fuller use of information and re‐classify political structures based on their information protection policies. This allows us to link the accumulation of information with the political structure to frame their joint impact on economic growth. We develop a model of 'effective information' beginning with information production and absorption and then allowing for its political propagation based on the degree of information protection. Using data from 40 countries, we find: (i) effective information and its spillovers contribute to an increase in productivity; and (ii) reductions in information protection bring larger increases in effective information as economies near an 'information‐technology frontier' contributing to economic growth divergence.

El retorno a la democracia en España en 1977 despejó los obstáculos para la diferenciación y despegue institucional de la disciplina en el país, si bien este doble proceso no cuajaría hasta mediados de la década de 1980, con la aprobación gubernamental de la "Ciencia Política y de la Administración" como área específica de conocimiento. Este artículo pretende dar cuenta de los principales jalones recorridos desde entonces hasta la plena institucionalización de aquella en las postrimerías del siglo XX, justamente con laaparición de la revista que ahora lo acoge. E igualmente, a partir de la sistematización de un cúmulo de datos sobre alumnado, profesorado, estructuras docentes e investigadoras, congresos científicos, etc., ofrecer un balance de los principales acontecimientos y cambios experimentados por la disciplina y la profesión en España durante su fase de consolidación, en lo que va de siglo. Unos desarrollos que han supuesto transitar desde el amateurismo inicial hacia una progresiva profesionalización de quienes cultivan una ciencia socialque ha alcanzado un amplio reconocimiento en el universo académico nacional e internacional, aunque probablemente aún arrastre un cierto déficit de legitimidad en cuanto a la especificidad de su objeto vis a vis otras ciencias sociales. ; The return of democracy to Spain in 1977 cleared the way for the institutional differentiation and launch of the discipline in the country. However, this double process did not actually crystallize until the mid 1980's, when the "Political Science and Public Administration" was approved by the government as a separate field of knowledge. This article intends to provide an account of the most relevant milestones that took place since then until the last few years of the 20th century, when full institutionalization of the discipline was reached with the publication of the first issue of this Journal. Moreover, the article systematizes a comprehensive set of data on students, faculty staff, teaching and research structures, scientific congresses, etc., with an aim at offering a balance of the main events and changes experienced by the discipline and the profession during their consolidation phase in the 21st century. The developments covered here have contributed to the evolution from the initial amateurism to the professionalization of scholars dedicated to this social science, which has gained full recognition in the academic sphere both nationally and internationally, even if it still suffers from a lack of legitimacy concerning the specificity of its subject vis-à-vis other social sciences.
