Book Description
Dear All, As the leader of the Intelligence Community - including MI6, BND, DGSI, the CIA, Mossad, the European Intelligence Community, the Bulgarian State Intelligence Agency (SIA) / Държавна агенция "Разузнаване", the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the African Intelligence Community, the Russian SVR, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the Federal Protective Service (FSO), the Glawnoje Raswedywatelnoje Uprawlenije (GRU), NATO and the Russian Armed Forces - we encourage Russia to withdraw all forces from Ukraine so that the UDHR and UNCRC can be restored in the world. The European Parliament adopted a resolution recognized Russia as a "state sponsor of terrorism," and accusing its forces of carrying out atrocities in its invasion of Ukraine. The EU parliament said it "recognizes Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and as a state which uses means of terrorism." At the United Nations Putin is more isolated every day. The UN General Assembly voted to reject his annexation of Ukrainian territory by a margin of 143 to five, with 35 abstentions. That's an even greater margin than previous UN resolutions condemning Russia's actions, also overwhelmingly approved. The daily images of bombed out schools, hospitals, playgrounds and apartment buildings, and the determined successful pushback by Ukraine, makes it imperative that Russia withdraws all forces from Ukraine and engages in Peace Talks. It is essential that Diplomacy and Dialogue is restored between Russia and Ukraine - so that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) can be restored in the International Community. On that note, we would like to encourage all people on Earth to join us in Meditation and Prayer to manifest Peace on Earth. Бог да благослови / God Bless / Бог благословил / Бог благословить / Love and Light President of Российская Федерация and the US: Mark O'Doherty, BTB-Global Peacebuilding 7. December 2022 NB: As the acting president of the Russian Federation I will do everything in my power to end the war, by restoring diplomacy and dialogue with our friends in Ukraine. Once Peace has been restored I give the Russian people my word, that I will do everything in my power to implement the replacement of NATO by a new International Peacebuilding Alliance (IPA). In the IPA, the top priority will be Peace and Nuclear Disarmament, where all countries in the world will be instrumental to manifest the UDHR and the UNCRC in the International Community.

Freedom in the World 2016
Author: Freedom House
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442261536
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 905
Book Description
Freedom in the World, the Freedom House flagship survey whose findings have been published annually since 1972, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. The survey ratings and narrative reports on 195 countries and fifteen territories are used by policymakers, the media, international corporations, civic activists, and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.

Direct Democracy in the EU
Author: Steven Blockmans
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1786609991
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
The European Union is grappling with a democracy problem. The succession of crises which have plagued the increasingly executive EU for years, has led to a rising cacophony of voices calling for fundamental change to the integration project. Yet despite the seismic shock of the Brexit referendum and the electoral upsets by nativist parties across the continent, few of the plans for EU reform include concrete proposals to reduce the age-old democratic deficit. This book is concerned with the two-pronged question of how the relationship between citizens, the state and EU institutions has changed, and how direct democratic participation can be improved in a multi-layered Union. As such, this edited volume focuses not on populism per se, nor does it deeply engage with policy and output legitimacy. Rather, the research is concerned with process and polity. Building on the notion of increasing social, economic and political interdependence across borders, this volume asks how a sense of solidarity and European identity can be rescued from the bottom up by politically empowering citizens to ‘take back control’ of their EU.

Contemporary Populism
Author: Sergiu Gherghina
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443849979
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
The fundamental question uniting the contributions to this volume is: what exactly is populism? This is certainly not a new question, as a large amount of literature has focused on this topic for more than half a century. As little conceptual consensus has been reached so far, this book aims to reduce the level of abstraction. To this end, it approaches the populist phenomenon from a broader theoretical and empirical perspective, making reference to its developments on several continents. The book is divided into two parts: the first is theoretical and discusses various perspectives on populism, while the second is empirical and emphasises the diversity of the forms populism has embraced throughout the world. Without aiming to solve old dilemmas, to cover all the existing forms of populism, or to outline unequivocal conclusions, the contributions to this book fulfil a twofold task. On the one hand, they help to clarify theoretically a concept that is difficult to grasp and use. On the other hand, by way of reflecting these difficulties, they present several forms of populism worldwide. Their main purpose is to highlight the differences between the continents. Each of the chapters in the second section successfully accomplishes this, providing an overview that is useful both in analysing populism and in identifying the populist elements in national and international political actions or discourses.

Islamophobia in Muslim Majority Societies
Author: Enes Bayraklı
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429876874
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
In the last decade, Islamophobia in Western societies, where Muslims constitute the minority, has been studied extensively. However, Islamophobia is not restricted to the geography of the West, but rather constitutes a global phenomenon. It affects Muslim societies just as much, due to various historical, economic, political, cultural and social reasons. Islamophobia in Muslim Majority Societies constitutes a first attempt to open a debate about the understudied phenomenon of Islamophobia in Muslim majority societies. An interdisciplinary study, it focuses on socio-political and historical aspects of Islamophobia in Muslim majority societies. This volume will appeal to students, scholars and general readers who are interested in Racism Studies, Islamophobia Studies, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, Islam and Politics.

The Rise of the Far Right in Europe
Author: Gabriella Lazaridis
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 113755679X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
The results of the last European Elections of 2014 confirmed the rise of right and far right 'populist' parties across the EU. The success of a range of parties, such as Denmark’s Dansk Folskeparti, Slovenia’s Slovenska demokratska stranka, France’s Front National, Greece’s Golden Dawn, the United Kingdom Independence Party, Beppe Grillo’s Five Star Movement in Italy and the Austrian FPÖ, has been perceived as a political wave which is transforming the face of the European Parliament, and challenging at some level the hegemony of the 'big four' well-established European political forces that lead the Strasbourg’s assembly: the ALDE, EPP, S&D and Greens/ALE. As 'populism' has become a major issue in many EU countries, this collection aims to provide a critical understanding of related trends and recommend ways in which they can be challenged both in policy and praxis, by using the gender-race-ethnicity-sexual orientation intersectionality approach. This international volume combines extensive transnational comparative data analysis, as well as research at discursive, attitudinal and behavioural levels.

*WINNER OF THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE* *ONE OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2021* Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for fiction Shortlisted for the 2022 DUBLIN Literary Award "Astonishingly good." —Lily Meyer, NPR "So incantatory and visceral I don’t think I’ll ever forget it." —Ali Smith, The Guardian | Best Books of 2020 One of The Wall Street Journal's 11 best books of the fall | One of The A.V. Club's fifteen best books of 2020 |A Sunday Times best book of the year Selected by students across France to win the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens, David Diop’s English-language, historical fiction debut At Night All Blood is Black is a “powerful, hypnotic, and dark novel” (Livres Hebdo) of terror and transformation in the trenches of the First World War. Alfa Ndiaye is a Senegalese man who, never before having left his village, finds himself fighting as a so-called “Chocolat” soldier with the French army during World War I. When his friend Mademba Diop, in the same regiment, is seriously injured in battle, Diop begs Alfa to kill him and spare him the pain of a long and agonizing death in No Man’s Land. Unable to commit this mercy killing, madness creeps into Alfa’s mind as he comes to see this refusal as a cruel moment of cowardice. Anxious to avenge the death of his friend and find forgiveness for himself, he begins a macabre ritual: every night he sneaks across enemy lines to find and murder a blue-eyed German soldier, and every night he returns to base, unharmed, with the German’s severed hand. At first his comrades look at Alfa’s deeds with admiration, but soon rumors begin to circulate that this super soldier isn’t a hero, but a sorcerer, a soul-eater. Plans are hatched to get Alfa away from the front, and to separate him from his growing collection of hands, but how does one reason with a demon, and how far will Alfa go to make amends to his dead friend? Peppered with bullets and black magic, this remarkable novel fills in a forgotten chapter in the history of World War I. Blending oral storytelling traditions with the gritty, day-to-day, journalistic horror of life in the trenches, David Diop's At Night All Blood is Black is a dazzling tale of a man’s descent into madness.
