Showing results for "I" in Elections & Political Process

In recent years, the world of politics has taken a series of disastrous wrong turns. We have witnessed leaders who can't - or shouldn't be allowed to - lead, policies that are either self-serving or don't work, and world views that are corrosive or short term. Alastair Campbell's aim in But What Can I Do? is twofold: to explain why things have gone so wrong, and to show what we can to help put them right. A mix of polemic, analysis and practical advice, this is a political masterclass from a master political commentator and strategist.

Dawn Butler is the trailblazing Labour MP for Brent Central, best known for speaking truth to power. Her tireless campaigning to eradicate injustice, from the Met Police to the NHS, has changed lives, but until now, she's never talked openly about what has inspired and motivated her to persevere in the face of oppression. Drawing from lessons from her own life, Dawn shows how traditional routes to success and power are outdated, and reveals that it's easier than we think to disrupt a broken system.

In February 2013, Toronto's former mayor, Rob Ford, was caught on video smoking crack cocaine. Weeks later, he was accused of groping a campaign rival; had to leave a gala for being too intoxicated; and was fired as the coach of a high school football team. The events were part of a stream of Rob Ford "mishaps", which include a DUI; accusations of domestic violence; a trial where the Toronto City Council stripped him of his powers; even accusations of murder.

Fiorello LaGuardia was one of the twentieth century's most colorful politicians—on the New York and national stage. He was also quintessentially American: the son of Italian immigrants, who rose in society through sheer will and chutzpah. Almost one hundred years later, America is once again grappling with issues that would have been familiar to the Little Flower, as he was affectionately known. It's time to bring back LaGuardia, argues historian and journalist Terry Golway, to remind us all what an effective municipal officer (as he preferred to call himself) can achieve . . .

Promozione di idee, ricerca, battaglia culturale per influenzare governi e opinione pubblica. È l'attività dei think tank, "serbatoi di pensiero" sorti in America più di un secolo fa e divenuti noti al grande pubblico soprattutto durante il primo mandato di George W. Bush. Nel volume si parte dalla storia americana per capire cosa fanno esattamente questi consiglieri del principe - da Roosevelt a Reagan, fino a Obama, ogni presidente ha avuto i suoi think tank - e si spiega perché abbiano messo radici anche in Italia e nel resto d'Europa.

Timothy Cooper's novel, 2020 or My Name Is Jesus Christ and I'm Running for President paints a hilariously envisioned America caught up in presidential politics. In actuality, it tells the prophetic story of the rise of Donald Trump. Here Jesus returns to Earth, only to find himself pitted against his satanic stepbrother, Beelzebub, in a contest for the presidency and for the very soul of America.

Perché le persone credono in ciò che non dovrebbero credere. Cosa rende una teoria del complotto? Da dove provengono i miti, chi li diffonde e perché? Perché alcune persone sono vulnerabili a idee chiaramente assurde e quali meccanismi li mantengono così tenacemente sotto il loro controllo?

Dlaczego ludzie wierzą w to, w co nie powinni wierzyć? Co sprawia, że teoria spiskowa staje się teorią spiskową? Skąd pochodzą mity, kto je rozpowszechnia – i dlaczego? Dlaczego niektórzy ludzie są podatni na oczywiste bzdury, a jakie mechanizmy sprawiają, że wyznawcy teorii spiskowych tak uporczywie tkwią w ich władzy?

«Le persone che chiamiamo "leader" hanno un campo visivo più sviluppato di noi "follower". La mostruosità della leadership comincia da qui: da questi occhi enormi e deformi, simili a quelli delle mosche, che vedono in lungo e vedono in largo. È una dote innata, ma che soltanto pochissimi riescono a maturare in talento, attraverso una lunga pratica e incessanti esercizi.» È da questi occhi, o meglio dalla capacità di osservazione che sono capaci di esercitare, che prende avvio l'analisi di Antonio Funiciello, già capo di gabinetto dei presidenti del Consiglio Mario Draghi e Paolo Gentiloni.
