Showing results for "Intervention" in Political Science

Interventions, by Noam Chomsky, is getting new press after the Pentagon banned the book from Guantanamo Bay's prison library. Interventions is Noam Chomsky at his best. Not since his all-time best-selling title, 9/11, published in the Open Media series in 2001, have readers and listeners had a timely, short, affordable Chomsky. Unlike 9/11, Interventions is a writerly work - a series of more than 30 tightly argued essays aimed at various aspects of U.S. power and politics in the post-9/11 world. While critical of U.S. military interventions around the globe, each piece in the book is in itself an intellectual intervention.

The Coming Insurrection is an eloquent call to arms arising from the recent waves of social contestation in France and Europe. Written by the anonymous Invisible Committee in the vein of Guy Debord — and with comparable elegance — it has been proclaimed a manual for terrorism by the French government (who recently arrested its alleged authors).

Making the Future presents more than 50 concise and persuasively argued commentaries on U.S. politics and policies, written between 2007 and 2011. Taken together, Chomsky's essays present a powerful counter-narrative to official accounts of the major political events of the past four years: the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the U.S. presidential race; the ascendancy of China; Latin America's leftward turn; the threat of nuclear proliferation in Iran and North Korea; Israel's invasion of Gaza and more.

Die AfD ist in Ostdeutschland auf dem Vormarsch. In Umfragen ist sie oftmals die stärkste Partei, und liegt in einigen Bundesländern gar bei 35 Prozent. Doch das heißt: zwei Drittel der Ostdeutschen wählen nicht AfD. Susan Arndt gibt dieser oft übersehenen Mehrheit in ihrem sehr persönlichen Buch eine Stimme und zeigt, dass es auch ein anderes Ostdeutschland gibt und die AfD ein gesamtdeutsches Problem ist.

Great powers have attempted for centuries to intervene in elections occurring in other states through various covert and overt methods, with the American intervention in the 2013 Kenyan elections and the Russian intervention in the 2016 US elections being just two recent examples. Indeed, the Americans and the Soviets/Russians intervened in one out of every nine national-level executive elections between 1946 and 2000.

UN Chief's Rare Invocation of Article 99: A Bold Gambit for Middle East Peace On December 8th, 2023, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres took the weighty step of triggering Article 99 of the UN Charter, granting him authority to bring urgent matters directly before the Security Council. His aim - jolting the international community into securing an immediate Gaza ceasefire and reinvigorating stagnant Middle East peace efforts. This seldom-used maneuver signals that finally, the endless violence devastating Palestinians and Israelis has become politically and morally untenable ...

Fifty years ago, a ragtag band of radical nuns and wild-haired priests swiftly became cat-burglars in a hellbent effort to sabotage a war. They scaled walls, picked locks, and traded blows with J. Edgar Hoover. Many went to jail, some betrayed their friends, others fell in love. The pilot of Divine Intervention premiered on June 9, 2022 as part of Tribeca Film Festival’s 2022Audio Storytelling competition.The rest of the 10-episode series will premiere this fall. It’s got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century and the god-damndest love story you’ve ever heard.

When Mal Brough and John Howard announced the Northern Territory intervention in mid-2007, they proclaimed a child abuse emergency. In this riveting piece of reportage and analysis, Paul Toohey unpicks the rhetoric of emergency and tracks progress. One year on, have children been saved? Will Labor continue with the intervention? What are the reasons for the social crisis and how might things be different? Toohey argues that the real issue is not sexual abuse, but rather a more general neglect of children.
