Mussolini's Grandchildren delves into Italy's self-styled 'post-fascist' movements—rooted in historical fascism yet claiming to have 'transcended' it.

It all seemed to start as a protest against taxes. But as crowds of hundreds of thousands began to assemble in cities throughout France and Europe, it soon became apparent that this was no mere protest; this was the makings of a worldwide uprising. Drawing from scholarly studies and current events, Dr. Turley provides an easy-to-understand analysis that shows how the Yellow Vest Uprising is part of an even larger resurgent populism, and why it represents nothing less than the single greatest threat to the globalist political order yet seen.

As a key player during the election campaign and transition, and Donald Trump’s press secretary for the first seven months in the White House, Sean Spicer found himself on the front line between Trump and the press - regularly jousting with the media and having to explain the President’s policy decisions and comments to America and the world.

In this timely and incisive book, Sergei Medvedev argues that Russia's war in Ukraine was not merely a whim of Putin's obsession: rather, it was the result of two decades of authoritarian degradation and post-imperial ressentiment, a culmination of Putin's regime and of Russia's entire imperial history.

Once a more sedate affair, since 2016, British politics has witnessed a barrage of crises, resignations and general elections. As Brexit became logjammed, Theresa May's premiership was the most turbulent of all. In her darkest hour, following the disastrous 2017 election, she turned to Gavin Barwell to restore her battered authority.

From agonising decisions on foreign air strikes to making headlines about orgasms, from sitting in on history-making moments at the UN to eating McCain potato smiles at a black-tie banquet in China, the life of a politician is never dull. And it’s also never been more important. But politics is far bigger than Westminster, and in this book, Jess Phillips makes the compelling case for why now, more than ever, we all need to be a part of it.

A gripping history of the Security Service and its covert surveillance on British writers and intellectuals in the twentieth century.

The 2010s were a decade of foodbanks, riots, and the rebirth of political alternatives. Looking to escape a future of rising debt, falling living standards and climate meltdown, a set of movements were born. A new wave of optimistic, radical young people were building mass movements outside the political bubble, rejecting the neo-liberal consensus and the enrichment of the 1%, and laying the foundations of a new left. Eight years later, Bernie Sanders was favorite to clinch the Democratic Party nomination, and Jeremy Corbyn and Momentum had taken over the Labour Party in Britain.

For 60 years, the United States has supported European integration on a bipartisan basis - not only because this has served European interests, but because it has promoted American interests as well. As core partners in transatlantic efforts to address regional and global economic, political and security challenges, the US and the EU have collaborated critically over the years to make the world a less turbulent place. That is, until the 2016 election of Donald J. Trump.

Paradigma del Romanticismo español más auténtico, Larra fue un agudísimo observador de la realidad que lerodeaba. Sus artículos de costumbres son ventanas abiertas a la España del siglo xix; sus comentarios políticos, dardosenvenenados contra unas estructuras anquilosadas; sus textos de crítica literaria, acertados análisis repletos depropuestas e ideas para mejorar el panorama de las letras españolas y desligarse de la por entonces omnipresenteinfluencia de la literatura francesa.

The last general election saw the Conservatives win their highest vote share in 40 years, while Labour slumped to their lowest seat total since 1935. At the heart of this electoral earthquake was the so-called Red Wall, some 60 seats stretching from the Midlands up to the North of England. Working-class voters in these old coal, steel and manufacturing constituencies had been the bedrock of past Labour victories, but all that changed on 12th December 2019 when Boris Johnson turned the Red Wall blue.

Sono un centinaio, e quasi tutti sconosciuti. Eppure scrivono le leggi che regolano le nostre vite e decretano come applicarle. Sono al vertice dei ministeri, dove a volte contano più degli stessi ministri. Le loro sentenze possono cambiare i destini di interi settori dell'economia nazionale, invalidare i risultati di un concorso pubblico, far decadere un presidente di Regione, cancellare la nomina di un procuratore della Repubblica.

Christian Bennike – født i 1986 – er barn af en optimistisk og tryg tid med en naiv tro på fremskridtet og på fornuftens uovervindelige kraft. I bogen bevidner han det skift, som har fundet sted i Vesten og i Danmark: fra optimismen fra midten af 1990’erne over forceret exces i 00’erne og eskalerende utryghed og politisk opbrud i 10’erne til nu 20’ernes radikale fortløbende kriser: klima-, finans- og energikrise, Brexit og Trump, pandemi og krig i Europa. Kriserne har ændret vores blik på politik, etik og økonomi – og på os selv.
