This book presents and discusses concepts of schizoanalysis that serve as theoretical tools for analyzing contemporary political processes and modes of subjectivation. Originally developed by the philosopher Gilles Deleuze and the psychoanalyst and activist Felix Guattari, schizoanalysis is a critical political psychology that analyzes psychological phenomena in light of social, historical-cultural, aesthetic, and political issues. It provides an original analytical approach that expands the repertoires of psychology and the human sciences by apprehending phenomena in the resulting relationship between power, desiring investments, and the production of subjectivation - that is, in the articulation between politics, psychology, and subjectivity.

With accessible language, this volume introduces the reader to the dynamics of 'Deleuze-Guattarian' thought, as well as to the specific terminologies that express it, based on eight fundamental themes in the articulation between psychology and politics, which contribute to understanding the current scenario of social effervescence and crisis: power; subjectivity; institutions and codes; capitalism; psychopolitical practices and assemblages; microfascisms; the State and public policies; and social movements.

Due to its didactic nature, this book can be used as an introduction to schizoanalysis as an analytical tool that can be used by researchers to study contemporary political and subjective processes, as well as a didactic text in social psychology and political psychology courses.

This is a revised and updated English translation of a book originally published in Brazilian Portuguese. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

Perhaps more than ever, we need to invest in the study of the causes and consequences of crises. Since its founding in 1975, the International Crisis Behavior (ICB) Project has aimed to better equip academics, policymakers, and the next generation of engaged citizens to make sense of why crises arise and how they can be more effectively managed and prevented. The ICB Project's data holdings consist of full-length qualitative case studies, along with an expanding range of quantitative datasets that include information regarding the characteristics of the states in crisis, crisis behavior, attempts at third-party crisis management, the role of nonstate actors, and the system-level context.

A Century of International Crisis Behavior summarizes the evolving patterns of international crisis behavior in the more than 500 cases cataloged since 1918, provides an accounting of the state of the scholarship to make sense of the patterns, and presents new findings that advance our understanding. Chapters are grouped according to their level of analysis: studies of systems, dyads, and states. The authors highlight what we have learned and what we have yet to learn regarding the prevention, escalation, and de-escalation of international crises.

This book focuses on county governance and development in Zhejiang Province, exploring the theoretical logic, practical context, and typical models of county governance under the guidance of Xi Jinping's important insights on county governance and development. By analyzing seven representative county (city) models-Yiwu, Jiashan, Deqing, Xinchang, Haining, Longgang, and Anji-it dissects how Zhejiang's counties leverage their unique advantages to promote high - quality development through reforms in commerce, integration with national strategies, digital empowerment, technological innovation, market - oriented factors, township - to - city transition, and ecological civilization construction. The book provides valuable references for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners engaged in county governance, regional development, and public administration across the country.

This book studies collection and delivery points (CDPs) in China. CDPs are the product of the emerging demand for postal services and are a typical example of emerging public facilities. As the demand for these services poses a great challenge to urban planning, this book attempts to explain why CDPs vary in the fairness and efficiency of their spatial allocation. It provides theoretical analysis tools and practical references to explain and improve the spatial allocation of emerging public facilities.

The book reveals that the spatial allocation of CDPs differs not only in fairness and efficiency but also in key obstacles to participants' behavior under different governance structures (multi-actor market, single-actor market, and government supply mode) and service modes (non-compulsory and compulsory). To optimize fairness and efficiency in CDP spatial allocation, the book proposes differentiated paths for different participants based on the current situation's key limitations and obstacles.

This open access book offers the first thorough analysis of the role of civil defense in NATO security discourse and development over the years, pinpointing critical junctures and historical events. Its novel contribution is the analysis of NATO's adoption and implementation of resilience as policy, a strategic concept, and later as a new body, the resilience committee. It explores how resilience shapes the role of civil defense and becomes a natural part of national defense and international security, and provides new insights into the knowledge of this contested concept and its adaptability once it enters a security discourse.

In terms of policy implications, one of the book's key contributions is its careful examination of the intricate roles ascribed by civil administration, civil society, market actors, and the broader populace. By explicitly addressing the social and political dynamics that have shaped NATO both historically and in the present day, it aims to ignite vital conversations around the implications of military alliances on democracy, accountability, and their influence over the internal political affairs of member states. This sheds light on the interconnectedness of these elements and encourages readers to critically reflect on the power structures at play and their far-reaching effects.

This book asks what peace means when the state wages war against its own citizens in the name of security in the war on drugs. Set in Rio de Janeiro, a deeply unequal city where life chances are shaped by race, class, gender and neighbourhood, it questions whose peace is protected, and at whose expense. Tracing the historical racialisation, marginalisation and criminalisation of the favelas, the book shows how this has resulted in complex forms of hybrid governance involving criminal groups, police and the state. It conceptualizes urban violence in Rio as a form of performative, necropolitical state war-making, where a discourse of security sustains deadly and inefficient operations in the favelas. In this violent context, the book explores favela peace formation as a grassroots alternative, in which residents construct new forms of nonviolent politics and envision more just and peaceful futures, offering important insights for rethinking and decolonizing peace.

Was Brexit more than a political and economic rupture - was it a civilisational one?

This book uncovers the cultural and identity foundations of Brexit, exploring how British elites came to see the UK not just as a nation, but as a civilisation state. Moving beyond party politics and policy debates, it traces how leaders and thinkers evoked Britain's exceptionalism - a sovereign, maritime, and Atlantic power with a global destiny rooted in empire. These narratives, mirroring those of civilisation states, shaped the country's uneasy relationship with Europe, and its final decision to withdraw from the EU. By revealing the deep historical and symbolic layers beneath the Brexit process, the book discloses how civilisational thinking is used to strengthen a nation's global voice, but drives it towards isolation.

Contrary to what German historians often claim, the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century did not peter out or even fail. Although the Nazi dictatorship destroyed the Bauhaus, Dada, and their legacy in Germany in the 1930s, it also triggered a wave of emigration. Many of those who were displaced went to the United States, where they contributed to the avant-gardization of the art world, and where subsequent generations were able to continue developing the project that had remained unfinished in Europe.

Walter Benjamin coined the term "politicization of art" to describe the efforts of avant-garde artists who opposed the "aestheticization of politics" by fascism. The cultural centers of the United States succeeded in picking up on the impetus of activist art practices. This study examines the characteristic differences between the art worlds on both sides of the Atlantic, which arose as a result of historical developments and continue to exist to this day.

A moving and unsettling ethnography of veterans living under the shadow of ongoing war and militarism, War and the Pull of Life traces how war makes its way into daily life in Putin's Russia. Based on research in St. Petersburg, the book describes how war veterans struggle to "find a place" for themselves and their wartime experiences in language, in ties of kinship and friendship, and within the state.

Hervouet-Zeiber shows that, for veterans, war is not an interruption. It seeps into everyday life as veterans try to create a domestic space, play hockey, discuss illnesses with friends, drink alcohol, loiter, joke, and envision the future. The book attends to the texture of these soldiers' lives, refusing to typify their experiences into predefined pathways to rehabilitation or to absorb them unproblematically into the language of a militarized existence. By viewing the ongoing presence of war as a concrete feature of these lives, the book explores the tensions and alignments between war and a pull of life.

How can a small democracy resist the influence of a powerful authoritarian neighbor? Taiwan is frequently praised for its successful economic development and peaceful transition to democracy, serving as a model for other developing countries. However, it faces substantial challenges, both from internal political divisions and external geopolitical pressures. Taiwan's political landscape is shaped by several significant cleavages: national identity and ethnic disparities, economic inequality and class conflict, and generational and cultural differences. The greatest challenge to Taiwan's democracy comes from the influence of China, which has exploited these cleavages through economic leverage, propaganda, and political interference.

Under the heavy influence of Beijing's sharp power, Taiwan's democracy often faces threats of regression. Whenever China escalates its tactics, Taiwan's civil society has mobilized in response, playing a crucial role in resisting Beijing's strategies and defending democratic institutions. Thung-Hong Lin examines case studies - such as the 2014 Sunflower Movement, the 2019 support for the Hong Kong protests, and recent social movements in 2024 - to demonstrate how Taiwan's vibrant civil society is a key source of democratic resilience. This book also situates Taiwan's struggle within the broader context of US-China relations, showing how global geopolitics over the past half-century has shaped the island's destiny.

Presidential scandals draw our attention for a variety of reasons. Whether they concern sex, money, or power, the shock of scandals stresses the political system and shows in stark relief how the boarders of power that define the presidency and other institutions can expand and contract. Understanding how presidents try to manage political scandals in the modern era provides a unique vantage point on the power of individual presidents, the institution of the presidency, and the larger political environment.

In this expanded second edition of Presidents and Political Scandal, Richard Barberio applies his development of the concept of "backfire," or the creation of a faux scandal to misdirect attention from the original scandal, to illustrate how the technique was fully implemented by Trump. Is the use of the backfire specific to the president or is it more the function of the political system at the time? This book uses a case study format overlaid with an analytical framework to investigate these and related questions that are important to both scholars and to students studying the presidency.

This open access handbook redefines science diplomacy in an era of geopolitical rivalry, rapid technological change, and fragmented global governance. Moving beyond state-centric models, it advances a polycentric framework where authority and expertise are distributed across diverse actors. Combining conceptual insights with empirical case studies, it examines securitization, emerging diplomatic players, and technology as a site of power-offering a rigorous guide for navigating cooperation under conditions of uncertainty, asymmetry, and disruption.

Scott B. Ritner argues that the antifascist philosopher and mystic Simone Weil's critical writings about the social crises of the mid-twentieth century, especially fascism, are particularly instructive for today. Now, as then, liberal democratic capitalist states are under threat from authoritarian leaders and fascist movements. Situating Weil and her work in the tradition of pessimistic critical theory, Ritner reveals how Weil's work can be understood as participating in an ongoing project critique of capitalist and liberal, neoliberal, and fascist modes of domination. This novel interpretation of Weil's work argues for reading her combined anarchist, Marxian, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and Platonic approaches to political thought holistically alongside her mystical Christianity and Judaism as a singular antifascist project in which pessimism is given political prominence. Taking up Weil's critiques of the State, the organization of labor, the use and effects of violence, and the ideology of revolution, Ritner mobilizes Weil's idiosyncratic antifascist politics towards a conceptual framework he calls "revolutionary pessimism" - defined as root-and-branch political action without expectation. As Ritner persuades, the revolutionary pessimism perceivable in Weil's writing can reorient antifascism from a defensive political posture to an offensive posture of generative permanent revolt.

An Orthodox Christian theological defense of liberal democracy that builds on the daring Christian humanist reinterpretation of incarnation and deification (theosis) in the Russian religious philosophy of Divine-Humanity.

At a time when Christianity is becoming increasingly associated with anti-liberal and authoritarian sentiment, Deifying Democracy offers a theological defense of liberal democracy grounded in the Orthodox Christian doctrine of deification (theosis). Building on the participatory metaphysics of "Divine-Humanity" in the modern Russian theologians Vladimir Soloviev, Sergei Bulgakov, and S. L. Frank, the book challenges the widespread view - perpetuated by prominent Orthodox voices, including Patriarch Kirill of Moscow - that deification is fundamentally incompatible with liberal democracy and universal human rights. The book particularly responds to the liberalism critique of John Mibank, who enlists modern Russian theology and its understanding of deification in support of an alternative "postliberal" Christian political order. The book develops a "politics of theosis" that grounds a form of liberal democracy within the ongoing story of God's incarnation and humanity's deification. By recovering a theological foundation for human dignity and democratic participation in human persons' vocation to become "partakers of the divine nature" through free and creative cooperation with God's deifying grace, the work offers an alternative to both secular liberalism and religious anti-liberalism.

The central argument proposes a "double movement," modeled on the Chalcedonian confession of Christ's divine-human unity, of supporting liberal democracy while working from within to transform it according to the principles of Christian love embodied in the Russian doctrine of sobornost', or ecclesial communion. Rather than replacing liberal democracy with a Christian political order, the book advocates the work of "deifying democracy"-building up the liberal democratic institutions that facilitate human deification while seeking to incarnate sobornost' in society through loving democratic dialogue about common goods.

The book will be of interest to readers hoping to understand how theosis, a central motif of Orthodox theology, can redeem and enrich rather than undermine liberal democratic values and institutions, as well as how liberal democracy is a system capable of serving the world's deification.

This book explores the evolution and impact of deliberative democracy in East Asia, focusing on Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan through a deliberative systems framework.

Democratization and democratic development in the region are intertwined with social movements, public participation, institutional reform, and deliberative innovation. The book highlights how deliberative democracy can transform politics, inform policymaking, and strengthen democratic governance, while also exploring the integration of deliberation with digital technologies and artificial intelligence to advance democratic innovations. Drawing on practical experiences, it demonstrates how democratic deliberation can shift public attitudes, shape policy, and address complex challenges.

Essential reading for students and scholars of East Asian politics and deliberative democracy, The Transformative Power of Deliberative Democracy in East Asia is also invaluable for political and social scientists interested in comparative democracy, public governance, and public participation in science and technology.

The establishment of the African Union and its African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) in 2002 marked a fundamental transformation in how African states collectively address security challenges. This book examines the origins, institutional design, and early performance of APSA, revealing the political dynamics that shaped this landmark initiative in regional security governance.

Drawing on extensive elite interviews with key decision-makers, such as former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, and access to foreign policy documents, this study reconstructs how a coalition of states known as the Like-Minded Five (South Africa, Nigeria, Algeria, Ethiopia, and Mali) exercised disproportionate influence over the creation of APSA. The analysis traces the formation of state preferences, the negotiation process through which diverse visions were reconciled, and the relationship between institutional design choices and subsequent performance. The book challenges the tendency to underestimate the agency of African states in shaping continental institutions and instead demonstrates how domestic political considerations shaped South African and Nigerian preferences, whilst strategic coalition-building and normative entrepreneurship enabled these middle powers to translate their vision into institutional outcomes.

Understanding the political bargains struck during APSA's formative period remains essential to understanding security cooperation in Africa and beyond. This book will therefore be an important read for policymakers and for researchers across the fields of African studies, international relations, and security studies.

Since the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-twentieth century, US election law has been characterized by an oft-bipartisan consensus that 1) the expansion of voting rights was a positive indicator of a healthy democratic republic and government, and 2) elections at the national, state, and local levels were well-protected from voter fraud and other electoral mischief.

Both of those long-held beliefs, though, are topics of heated national debate today. Many Americans have been misled about the facts by sustained campaigns of media misinformation and political partisanship. This book addresses that confusing state of affairs by detailing and explaining the objective facts and relevant laws concerning voter suppression, voter fraud, and disenfranchisement in America, past and present.

Gender and International Relations in North Africa: Decentring EU Policies in Tunisia offers a critical rethinking of international gender agendas by placing Tunisian perspectives at the centre of analysis.

Drawing on a rich, interdisciplinary, theoretical account and extensive empirical research, the book examines European Union gender policies in Tunisia from the 1995 Association Agreement through the 2010-2011 revolution and the recent authoritarian resurgence. Grounded in the "decentring" approach in International Relations and inspired by Gayatri Spivak's distinction between "giving voice" and "speaking for," it interrogates how far EU policies genuinely engage with, or marginalise, the diverse agencies of Tunisian women. Situating EU initiatives within broader United Nations frameworks, the study highlights the reciprocal circulation of gender discourses and practices across international and regional levels. Methodologically informed by the "Grounded Theory," it adopts a self-reflexive approach, addressing key issues such as positionality, freedom, safety, and care in research, while challenging Eurocentric assumptions about knowledge production and policy design.

This book will appeal to scholars and students of Gender and International Relations, Middle East and North Africa, and European foreign policy, as well as practitioners interested in feminist approaches to international governance and Euro-Mediterranean relations.

IRON DOME tells the remarkable story of how a single military system, designed to protect against rockets, reshaped Israel's politics and strategy. Conceived against the resistance from many, and developed at extraordinary speed, Iron Dome eventually became one of the most iconic symbols of modern warfare.

Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews with Israeli and American decision-makers, Jean-Loup Samaan traces the rise of Iron Dome against the backdrop of Israel's wars with Hamas and Hezbollah. The new system enabled Israel's governments to assuage the fears of its population amid the flow of rockets targeting its cities.

However, the book shows that the story of Iron Dome is more than a tale of technological prowess: it reveals key insights into the evolving conflict between Israel and the Palestinians since the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in 2007, the struggle within the Israeli Defense Forces to adapt its strategy, and the way missile defense is shaping the future of Israel-US military cooperation. It also offers a compelling study of the core tensions of modern warfare, from the dilemma between offense and defense to the uneasy marriage of strategy and technology.

The book codifies the DRC Research Practice's methodological heuristics for its several research process elements: conceiving cases as endeavors, characterizing them, explaining their system behaviors and process outcomes, and drawing lessons about how endeavors of the kind could possibly work. These heuristics are fully exemplified in three original case studies.

Critically engaging with Herbert Simon's idea of disciplines concerned with artificial phenomena, Michael Barzelay and Alan Love show what it would mean for disciplines like Public Management to take a stand that they are endeavor-centered disciplines. All told, the book makes the affirmative case that Public Management can cumulatively develop knowledge that is original, rigorous, and relevant to practice, while exemplifying endeavor-centered academic disciplines in the academy.

This edited volume examines the relationship between journalism, democracy, and disinformation in contemporary Europe.

Drawing on original empirical research with journalists and media regulators, it provides a timely analysis of the European Union's evolving regulatory response to disinformation and media pluralism, while foregrounding the perspectives of those directly involved in interpreting and implementing these changes. Through a comparative study of seven countries-Spain, Italy, Norway, Iceland, Croatia, Poland, and Bulgaria-the book explores how media actors across diverse political, institutional, and regulatory contexts understand and respond to post-truth politics. In doing so, it investigates whether a shared European normative space around journalism, media freedom, and democracy is beginning to take shape.

This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners in European studies, media studies, journalism, political communication, and cultural sociology.
