Book How to Prevent Coups d   tat

Download or read book How to Prevent Coups d tat written by Erica De Bruin and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively and provocative book, Erica De Bruin looks at the threats that rulers face from their own armed forces. Can they make their regimes impervious to coups? How to Prevent Coups d'État shows that how leaders organize their coercive institutions has a profound effect on the survival of their regimes. When rulers use presidential guards, militarized police, and militia to counterbalance the regular military, efforts to oust them from power via coups d'état are less likely to succeed. Even as counterbalancing helps to prevent successful interventions, however, the resentment that it generates within the regular military can provoke new coup attempts. And because counterbalancing changes how soldiers and police perceive the costs and benefits of a successful overthrow, it can create incentives for protracted fighting that result in the escalation of a coup into full-blown civil war. Drawing on an original dataset of state security forces in 110 countries over a span of fifty years, as well as case studies of coup attempts in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, De Bruin sheds light on how counterbalancing affects regime survival. Understanding the dynamics of counterbalancing, she shows, can help analysts predict when coups will occur, whether they will succeed, and how violent they are likely to be. The arguments and evidence in this book suggest that while counterbalancing may prevent successful coups, it is a risky strategy to pursue—and one that may weaken regimes in the long term.

Book Saving Democracy

  • ISBN : 9780804754989
  • Pages : 308 pages

Download or read book Saving Democracy written by Kevin O'Leary and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saving Democracy presents a bold yet practical plan for reinventing American democracy for the twenty-first century. The book diagnoses contemporary political ills as symptoms of corruption in our large republic and develops a new understanding of representative democracy. Building on the ideas of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, Saving Democracy shows how it is possible to combine the traditional town hall and the Internet to fashion a new theory of representative government that empowers citizens and bridges the enormous gap that now exists between the political elite and the average voter. Under the author's plan, in each of the nation's 435 congressional districts a local assembly of 100 citizens, selected by lot, would meet to discuss the major domestic and international issues. The role of this assembly would be deliberative and advisory and its views would constitute a second, more sophisticated and informed measure of public opinion than traditional public opinion polls. The next step would be the establishment of the People's House, which would hold actual legislative power.

Book The Next Step in Democracy

Download or read book The Next Step in Democracy written by R W Sellars and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume by Dr. Sellars is symptomatic of two tendencies operating at present. One of these is occurring in socialism and is the well-defined response of that movement to apply a sociological interpretation to society, and consequently, sociological gauges and measures to itself. This book, with the others, Socialism as the Sociological Ideal, by Melvin, and Sociology, by Lewis, constitute specifically scientific attempts in the literature produced by socialists, either to merge socialism into sociology or to write sociology outright. The other tendency is seen in a rapidly growing literature to give expositions of democracy a broad social background, making it loosely agree with the concepts of social evolution and social progress as developed by sociologists.In this treatise the author has furnished a lucid, analytical, and valuable exposition of what both society and socialism are and must become. His treatment might very well be called, socialism, sociologically reformed, as the goal of social evolution. He rejects some of the main tenets of Marxian socialism, namely, economic determinism and economic interpretation of history, class struggle, and reform of society by revolution. He holds that Marxian philosophy's greatest achievement has been to imbue the mass of people with a firm determination of emancipating themselves from a system of artificial and unjust inequalities.--Quarterly Journal - University of North Dakota, Volume 7

Book Freedom in the World 2018

Download or read book Freedom in the World 2018 written by Freedom House and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 1265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom in the World, the Freedom House flagship survey whose findings have been published annually since 1972, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. The survey ratings and narrative reports on 195 countries and fifteen territories are used by policymakers, the media, international corporations, civic activists, and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.

Book Achieving True Democracy

Download or read book Achieving True Democracy written by Peter Monien and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book for frustrated (non) voters who are interested in politics but fed up with politicians and the situation of only being able to choose the lesser evil. It is for voters who believe in democracy and seek a realistic solution as the next step to solve our representational crisis. TESTIMONIALS "The vision of a new party model by Peter Monien is well thought out and offers many starting points for making democracy more direct and taking advantage of technological progress. The book asks the right questions and approaches the question of more citizen participation at the federal level in a pragmatic and prudent manner. The model has the potential to make existing parties superfluous. - Let's project our preferences to the Parliament! By proxy party." -Mehr Demokratie e.V. (Germanies largest pro-democracy association), mdmagazine 3.2019" Peters idea of a Proxy Party is an inspired reimagining of what the democratic process could be if we reorganize representation along truly decentralized, democratic lines. Peter's work represents a practical, actionable way forward to achieve this most desperately needed of outcomes across every echelon of the disconnected global political scene." -Rich James, co-founder Decentr
