"So, what are you writing about?" I would be asked. "Err. It's just a piece about transnational democracy, adapting Zionism to globalization and this legal provision in the treaty of the European Union", I would blurt uncomfortably. The inquirers would either chuckle in confusion, stare blankly (should they have understood what I just said?) or run a million miles, out of fear of being cornered into a dull discussion. The truth is this essay IS all...

Der globale Kapitalismus schreitet zunehmend voran. Lediglich 147 Konzerne - so Schweizer Wissenschaftler - steuern und kontrollieren die gesamte Weltwirtschaft und damit auch unser Leben. Die wahre Macht liege demnach nicht mehr bei den Staatsorganen, sondern bei internationalen Großkonzernen.
Wie kam diese Entwicklung zustande und was können wir selbst für unser eigenes Leben und für die Gesellschaft dagegen unternehmen?

Since 1980, America has been run by a corporate regime that has co-opted both political parties and shifted sovereignty from "we the people" to trans-national corporations. The result has been job insecurity for millions of workers, debts as far as the eye can see, and a dangerous quest for global domination. Democracy itself has been undermined and the Constitution weakened. This regime must be overturned! And, as Charles Derber demonstrates in his...

Why don't young people vote? It's a question, that has been asked by pollsters for years. The 18- to 24-year-old demographic records the lowest voter turnout at elections and it doesn't look to be showing signs of stopping. Being one of this demographic, Mitchell Agg looks into this question and tries to shed light on why his peers don't enter polling stations on election day. Through four main reasons, Mitchell helps us answer this question as well...

Lee Ann Banaszak is Associate Professor of Political Science at the Pennsylvania State University.
Wyoming became the first American state to adopt female suffrage in 1869--a time when no country permitted women to vote. When the last Swiss canton enfranchised women in 1990, few countries barred women from the polls. Why did pro-suffrage activists in the United States and Switzerland have such varying success? Comparing suffrage campaigns in forty-eight...

But the rich are rather good at getting the poor to eat each other instead. In this provocative novella-length essay, Mike Robbins looks at how the British electoral system, social media, bullying by business, and a growing gap between rich and poor have led to deep fissures in British society. These have been exploited by those with an agenda of their own. As a result, democracy is now fragile. To repair it, we must look hard at the way information...

The 2012 election will be one of the hardest-fought in U.S. history. It is also likely to be one of the closest, a fact that brings concerns about voter fraud and bureaucratic incompetence in the conduct of elections front and center. If we don't take notice, we could see another debacle like the Bush-Gore Florida recount of 2000 in which courts and lawyers intervened in what should have involved only voters. Who's Counting? will focus attention on...

As the author of “The Conservative Mind” and other seminal books, Russell Kirk is usually thought of as one of the American conservative political movement's most important progenitors. But as this collection demonstrates, Kirk was perhaps at his best as an essayist. This volume also confirms that Kirk's was principally a literary and historical conservatism that refused to fit the irreducible complexity of human experience to the requirements...
