Giorgio Cesarale's book A Sinistra takes for granted the fertility of the encounter between the 'bourgeois revolution' and anti-systemic movements from below. But it is an open question whether a radical 'stretching' of the notion of the 'Left' to encompass, if not to synthesise, sub-altern studies, black radical tradition and anti-colonial indigenous political philosophies, as well as anti-capitalist feminisms, requires rewriting or abandoning the framework of political modernity, especially as crystallised in the short twentieth century.

When this encyclopedic history of the Jews was first published in 1958, it was hailed as one of the great works of its kind, a study that not only chronicled an assailed and enduring people, but assessed its astonishing impact on the modern world. Now this scholarly and comprehensive book has been massively revised and updated by its author, a professor of modern history at the George Washington University and one of the most respected authorities on the lives and times of the Jewish people.The new edition casts additional light on the milestones of the Jewish saga from the eighteenth century to the close of the twentieth: the Jews' emergence from the ghetto and into the heart of Western society, the debate between the voices of tradition, assimilation, and Zionism; virtual destruction during the Holocaust; and troubled rebirth in Israel. Here, too, are evocative portraits of today's disapora, from the Jews of America to the embattled communities of the former Soviet Union and the Third World.

This study presents the experience of managing Berdyansk State Pedagogical University in the first year of a full-scale war. The purpose is to analyze the impact of management decisions on the performance indicators of the university in the conditions of temporary occupation and relocation to a new place. The relocation of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University (BSPU) to a safer territory enabled the resumption of educational activities in May 2022, after 53 days of functioning under occupation by russian troops. University staff decreased by 13%, with 57% moving to Ukraine-controlled territories and 43% remaining in the occupied zone. In addition, the student contingent decreased by 15%. The university's scientific activity during the war decreased for only 9% in publication activity, and funding for science in 2023 increased by 379% compared to 2021. The university continued its third mission of social cooperation by providing humanitarian and psychological assistance and documenting the testimonies of people affected by the occupation. The university community currently exists in a virtual format, with staff and students in different parts of Ukraine and the world. The university must look to the future and overcome existing problems, such as preserving academic potential and student contingent, restoring electronic systems, and continuing pedagogical education.

This article discusses the reinvention of George W. Bush's image during a critical period of his presidency—the 18 months after September 11, 2001. It examines how, during that time, he assumed a mantle of heroic presidential leadership similar to that designed by a previous generation for one of his predecessors: John F. Kennedy. In the "age of infotainment," however, it remains a challenge for presidents to make the transition from "celebrity" to "hero." While the currency of celebrity is easy to acquire, the political capital that accrues to the heroic leader in times of national crisis is more difficult to keep. In pursuing the "war on terror," George W. Bush must beware the "credibility gap" that can impact on the presidency if a president picks the wrong fight and loses control of the way his image is mediated.

Responds to George Pavlich's (1998) essay that borrows from the Renaissance concept of the differend (Lyotard, Jean-Francois, 1988) to analyze various phrasing to show how injustice always forms a critical counterpart to justice, it is suggested that, during the Renaissance, the opposite of justice was not injustice, but evil. This slippage is taken to indicate that Pavlich has moved too quickly away from the figure of justice to a consideration of injustice. While his academic exercise is stimulating & innovative, it is also essentially a move of abstraction & abandonment. Pavlich's example of the South African Truth & Reconciliation Commission is seen, not as an example of an effort to achieve justice, not to condemn, but to forgive & move beyond. It is argued that efforts to achieve justice are not merely spectral, but involve real effort to institutionalize forms of public representation that allow both the rage at injustice & its reconciliation to be achieved. 18 References.

"At the beginning of the 20th century an estimated five percent of the world's population lived in cities. Today, half the world's population is urbanized. Urban sustainability is multifaceted and encompasses security, economics, environment and resources, health, and quality of life. It can be viewed as the intersection of two extremely complex and not yet fully understood processes, urbanization and global sustainability, which will increasingly overlap as urban populations continue to grow. Effective policies are critical for addressing urban sustainability, and must be politically realistic in deciding on appropriate balances, such as centralized versus decentralized systems, "soft" versus "hard" solutions, local versus regional focus, agriculture versus pollution, and free markets versus interventions."--Publisher's description
