Politics & Government

This is the story of what could happen next. What If Reform Wins is a chilling and deeply researched scenario that takes us day-by-day, minute-by-minute through a world in which Reform has the opportunity to put their policies into practice, from deporting 600,000 people to leaving the ECHR, abandoning net zero and ending the BBC's license fee. How will people fight back against mass deportations and fracking? And will this self-described 'ill-disciplined pirate ship' survive the rigors of government?

Hyperpolitics describes the paradoxical state of affairs today, in which politicization seemingly has few political consequences. Anton Jäger's incisive appraisal sets the benchmark by which future histories of the present will be judged. Politics is back.

In an increasingly polarized age, culture wars are everywhere. They are often criticized as superficial or confected disagreements designed to distract us from more important issues. Is this true, or are they rather more fundamental than that?

From the economy and politics to ideology, these short texts work through the different faces of liberal fascism, structured around a trio of the universal, the particular, and the single: our global predicament; Europe and the Middle East; Trump's America. Peeling back the inadequate labels we hasten to pin on the phenomena that terrify us – like 'post-truth'– to peer at the seeping wounds beneath them, these writings reveal the uneasy mixture of lies and truths that have always been stacked, matryoshka like, inside of one another.

To the ceaseless seekers of truth, the quiet questioners in a world often too eager to provide answers, and to all those who sense the undercurrents beneath the surface of everyday events. This book is dedicated to those who refuse to accept the presented narrative without scrutiny, who understand that history is not always as it is written, and that the shadows can hold more than just darkness. It is for the discerning mind, the restless spirit, and the unwavering belief that understanding the world, in all its complexity, is a noble and necessary pursuit.

The concept of freedom is deceptively simple. We think we understand it, but the moment we try and define it we encounter contradictions. In this new philosophical exploration, Slavoj Žižek argues that the experience of true, radical freedom is transient and fragile. Countering the idea of libertarian individualism, Žižek draws on philosophers Hegel, Kierkegaard and Heidegger, as well as the work of Kandinsky and Agatha Christie to examine the many facets of freedom and what we can learn from each of them.

La liberté d'expression, c'est la faculté de dire ce qu'on pense être juste et vrai, mais cette liberté est menacée par la politique même, où la vérité ne prévaut guère. Ce recueil propose les meilleures pages d'Orwell sur cette question centrale aujourd'hui, dans nos sociétés de post-vérité.

As bombs rained down on Gaza in October 2023, images of mass death and destruction gripped the world, and openly genocidal statements from Israeli leaders foretold the magnitude of horrors to come. But the United States media was quick to downplay, obscure, and repackage an emerging campaign of...

Australia has forgotten what keeps it safe. So argues Michael Wesley in this sharp and compelling essay about our place in the world. Southeast Asia is the key to our national security and prosperity. If China dominates the region, as it plans to, Australia will be very vulnerable. So why are we following an American strategy that isolates and alienates us from our neighbours? Wesley argues that the focus on AUKUS and sticking with Trump is a dangerous distraction. Whereas the United States has little at stake in Southeast Asia, Australia has everything to lose.

Todas estas preguntas y algunas otras convergen en un manifiesto por la supervivencia de Israel, una reflexión sobre su significado histórico y su importancia como bastión de la democracia en Oriente Próximo frente al totalitarismo islamista y el antisemitismo. Bernard-Henri Lévy ha escrito un ensayo de ira y combate alimentado por medio siglo de amor. Para él, tras los hechos del 7 de octubre de 2023, está en juego el derecho a existir de los judíos, pero también los principios ilustrados que dan forma a los irrenunciables valores occidentales.

Un mondo dagli equilibri pericolosamente instabili, un'Italia sempre sull'orlo della recessione con una classe dirigente in disarmo, una società impoverita e divisa, una crisi climatica conclamata: questo libro si apre con una spietata fotografia del presente. Eppure, si chiude con un'ampia e luminosa visione del futuro. Cosa c'è in mezzo, cosa si inserisce nello spazio del possibile, tra disastro e rinascita? La politica e, in particolare, la sinistra.

Los años 50 constituyen la época más desconocida de la historia reciente de España. Entre los terribles años 40 de la posguerra y los cambios que trajeron los 60. Manuel Espín acude al rescate de esos tiempos en La España resignada (1952-1960) para devolvernos la imagen de un país que quiere dejar atrás los terribles recuerdos de la guerra y la posguerra para empezar a mirar hacia el futuro con esperanza.

Recalling her 25 years in Britain's probation service, Elizabeth Baxter offers a fresh perspective on care within the criminal justice system. Warm and humane, A Murderer's Guide to Cleaning pays tribute to the work of probation officers everywhere, who not only protect the public, but often act as the final safety net for society's most vulnerable, from teenage asylum seekers to survivors of domestic abuse. Elizabeth Baxter has heard it all. Thieves, rapists, drug dealers, burglars, murderers, abusers and arsonists – they've all confided in her.

Partant du constat que la France semble avoir aujourd'hui renoncé à assumer sa place dans le monde, à maîtriser ses finances publiques, à faire face aux défis économiques et géopolitiques du monde contemporain, à répondre aux tensions qui traversent sa société, etc. Thierry Breton se demande si le « renoncement » ne faisait finalement pas partie de nos vieux travers, de nos héritages historiques, de notre psychologie collective...
