Democracy is in crisis, and unaccountable and untraceable flows of money are helping to destroy it. Politicians lie gleefully, making wild claims that can be shared instantly with millions of people on social media. Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Jair Bolsonaro and populists in many other countries are the beneficiaries.Peter Geoghegan is a diligent, brilliant guide through a shadowy world of dark money and digital disinformation stretching from Westminster to Washington, and far beyond.He shows how antiquated electoral laws are broken with impunity, how secretive lobbying bends our politics out of shape, and how Silicon Valley tech giants have colluded in selling out democracy. Geoghegan investigates politicians, fabulously well-funded partisan think tanks, propagandists who know how to game a rigged system, and the campaigners and regulators valiantly trying to stop them.Democracy for Sale is the story of how money, vested interests and digital skulduggery are eroding trust in democracy – and a powerful account of what must be done about it.

Advances an alternative approach to democratic reform that focuses on building institutions that empower people who have little time for politics. Â How do we make democracy more equal? Although in theory, all citizens in a democracy have the right to participate in politics, time-consuming forms of participation often advantage some groups over others. Where some citizens may have time to wait in long lines to vote, to volunteer for a campaign, to attend community board meetings, or to stay up to date on national, state, and local news, other citizens struggle to do the same. Since not all people have the time or inclination to devote substantial energy to politics, certain forms of participation exacerbate existing inequalities. Â Democracy for Busy People takes up the very real challenge of how to build a democracy that empowers people with limited time for politics. While many plans for democratic renewal emphasize demanding forms of political participation and daunting ideals of democratic citizenship, political theorist Kevin J. Elliott proposes a fundamentally different approach. He focuses instead on making democratic citizenship undemanding so that even busy people can be politically included. This approach emphasizes the core institutions of electoral democracy, such as political ... Unknown localization key: "more"

How has democracy become so threatened – and what can we do to save it?With the clarity and brilliance that made their first book, How Democracies Die, a global bestseller, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt offer a coherent new framework for understanding the dangerous times we live in. They draw on a wealth of examples – from the Capitol riots to Edwardian Britain, from 1930s France to present-day Thailand – to explore right-wing efforts to undermine the very foundations of the American political system, and to explain why and how political parties turn against democracy. With its attention on factors from election losses to demographic change and voting rights, its urgent call for a reform of our politics to balance the need for majority rule with the need for minority protections, and a citizens’ movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it’s too late, Tyranny of the Minority is a must-read for everyone keen to see more vibrant democracy – and to understand where future threats may come from.

Democracy for Realists assails the romantic folk-theory at the heart of contemporary thinking about democratic politics and government, and offers a provocative alternative view grounded in the actual human nature of democratic citizens. Christopher Achen and Larry Bartels deploy a wealth of social-scientific evidence, including ingenious original analyses of topics ranging from abortion politics and budget deficits to the Great Depression and shark attacks, to show that the familiar ideal of thoughtful citizens steering the ship of state from the voting booth is fundamentally misguided. They demonstrate that voters--even those who are well informed and politically engaged--mostly choose parties and candidates on the basis of social identities and partisan loyalties, not political issues. They also show that voters adjust their policy views and even their perceptions of basic matters of fact to match those loyalties. When parties are roughly evenly matched, elections often turn on irrelevant or misleading considerations such as economic spurts or downturns beyond the incumbents' control; the outcomes are essentially random. Thus, voters do not control the course of public policy, even indirectly. Achen and Bartels argue that democratic theory needs to be founded on identity groups and political parties, not on the preferences of individual voters. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Behind the Scenes: Bodies for Sale is the second of a four book fact-based suspense novel series which exposes the criminal exploitation of the people behind the façade of many of the tourist paradises in Southeast Asia. The books describe how the poor of Myanmar, Thailand and Laos do their best to survive, often growing opium, smuggling weapons and selling their daughters, sometimes before they are even born. The plight of these people is made more complicated because this criminality is often sanctioned by official organisations in existence to protect them, not to take advantage of them. Bodies for Sale continues the series, telling the story of one poor family from a small village in Laos, during a time of increasing drama in the aftermath of the Vietnam War:– Grandfather Songchai and his efforts to take his transport of hidden arms for buyers in west Africa, through Thailand in the company of a driver unknown to him. – Lu, his daughter-in-law, whose help for two Americans, Will and Frank in their quest to find the remains of US soldiers lost in the War has now led to terrible personal consequences for her. – Prim, Lu’s daughter and her teenage friends ...

Today, deliberative democracy is the most widely discussed theory of democracy. Its proponents argue that important decisions of law and policy should ideally turn not on the force of numbers but on the force of the better argument. However, it continues to strike some as little more than wishful thinking. In this new book, Ian O’Flynn examines how the concept has developed over recent decades, the family disagreements which have emerged, and the criticisms that have been levelled at it. Grappling with the familiar charge that ordinary people lack the motivation and capacity for meaningful deliberation, O’Flynn considers the example of deliberative polls and citizens’ assemblies and critically assesses how such forums can fit within a broader democratic system. He then considers the implications of deliberative democracy for multicultural and multi-ethnic societies before turning to the prospects for the most ambitious deliberative project of all: global deliberative democracy. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of democratic theory, as well as anyone who is curious about the prospects for more rational decision-making in an age of populist passion.

Nedostatečný pocit vlastní hodnoty komplikuje výrazným způsobem život mnohým z nás. Důsledkem mohou být často úzkosti, deprese, psychosomatická onemocnění nebo různé formy závislostí. Heinz-Peter Röhr poukazuje na skutečnost, že zdravému pocitu vlastní hodnoty stojí často v cestě určité vnitřní vzorce či programy. Ty lze přirovnat k softwaru, který člověku umožňuje pouze určitý typ operací. A lidé s nedostatečným pocitem vlastní hodnoty jsou obvykle „naprogramováni“ tak, že své vlastní spokojenosti stojí v cestě… Autor čtenáři pomáhá nejprve sebedestruktivní vnitřní naprogramování rozpoznat. Vychází z poznatků a konceptů různých psychologických směrů a psychoterapeutických škol – z psychoanalýzy, KBT, transakční analýzy, existenciální psychoterapie – a s jejich využitím následně pomáhá, jak ze starých programů vystoupit a zaujmout nový postoj k sobě i k životu. Knihu ocení psychologové, psychoterapeuti, pracovníci pomáhajících profesí, čtenáři se zájmem o populárně psychologickou tematiku. Heinz-Peter Röhr se 25 let zabývá psychoterapií závislostí na odborné klinice v německém Fredeburgu. Je autorem mnoha knih. V nakladatelství Portál vyšly jeho tituly Narcismus – vnitřní žalář, Hraniční porucha osobnosti, Hysterie – strach z odmítnutí, Závislé vztahy.
