The Politics of Weapons Inspections

The Politics of Weapons Inspections

Nathan E. Busch; Joseph F. Pilat

Stanford University Press
2017
sidottu
Given recent controversies over suspected WMD programs in proliferating countries, there is an increasingly urgent need for effective monitoring and verification regimes—the international mechanisms, including on-site inspections, intended in part to clarify the status of WMD programs in suspected proliferators. Yet the strengths and limitations of these nonproliferation and arms control mechanisms remain unclear. How should these regimes best be implemented? What are the technological, political, and other limitations to these tools? What technologies and other innovations should be utilized to make these regimes most effective? How should recent developments, such as the 2015 Iran nuclear deal or Syria's declared renunciation and actual use of its chemical weapons, influence their architecture? The Politics of Weapons Inspections examines the successes, failures, and lessons that can be learned from WMD monitoring and verification regimes in order to help determine how best to maintain and strengthen these regimes in the future. In addition to examining these regimes' technological, political, and legal contexts, Nathan E. Busch and Joseph F. Pilat reevaluate the track record of monitoring and verification in the historical cases of South Africa, Libya, and Iraq; assess the prospects of using these mechanisms in verifying arms control and disarmament; and apply the lessons learned from these cases to contemporary controversies over suspected or confirmed programs in North Korea, Iran, and Syria. Finally, they provide a forward-looking set of policy recommendations for the future.

Politics and Foreign Direct Investment

Politics and Foreign Direct Investment

Nathan Jensen; Glen Biglaiser; Quan Li; Edmund Malesky; Pablo Pinto; Santiago Pinto; Joseph Staats

The University of Michigan Press
2012
nidottu
For decades, free trade was advocated as the vehicle for peace, prosperity, and democracy in an increasingly globalized market. More recently, the proliferation of foreign direct investment has raised questions about its impact upon local economies and politics. Here, seven scholars bring together their wide-ranging expertise to investigate the factors that determine the attractiveness of a locale to investors and the extent of their political power. Multinational corporations prefer to invest where legal and political institutions support the rule of law, protections for property rights, and democratic processes. Corporate influence on local institutions, in turn, depends upon the relative power of other players and the types of policies at issue.

The Canadian Far-Right and Conspiracy Theories

The Canadian Far-Right and Conspiracy Theories

Ahmed Al-Rawi; Carmen Celestini; Nicole K. Stewart; Joseph M. Nicolaï; Nathan Worku

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
This book provides an empirical analysis, mapping, and assessment of Canadian right-wing extremist (RWE) groups and their conspiracy theories.While the majority of studies on RWE groups focus on American and European actors, this book critically examines conspiracies disseminated by Canadian actors on different online sites and social media platforms. The authors deploy a mapping metaphor to chart the conspiratorial ideas that RWE groups create and share online. The book also examines the infrastructural terrain that supports mainstream and alternative platforms and the dark monetization structures that act as important conduits for this negative messaging. Theoretically, the study is situated within the concepts of dark social movements where dark participation on dark platforms often occurs. A conceptualization of conspiracy theories is developed by exploring four specific aspects: (1) topics, (2) targets, (3) concerns, and (4) actors. This concept is operationalized by applying it to BitChute and Telegram. The book also offers a historical understanding of different RWE groups and their ideological positions. In addition, it provides an empirical investigation of Google’s autocomplete feature, Amazon books, the Dark Web, and several other alternative social media sites.It will be of interest to researchers of Canadian politics, conspiracy theories, and the far-right.

Communal music has the power to shape a soul and a society.In many places today, a culture of singing and making music remains robust, despite pressure from the commercial music industry. Or it was until the Covid pandemic hit and we glimpsed what a world without communal music-making could be like. According to Plato, virtuous music is vital for building a virtuous community. Jewish and Christian traditions take this insight even further: good communal music shapes and builds up the people of God. So how can we choose good music and avoid the bad? The sheer ubiquity of music available for consumption – its presence as a near-constant soundtrack to our daily lives – poses a hazard. Digital music on tap is a temptation to chronic distraction of the soul, to a habit of superficiality and non-attention. Fortunately, the remedy is straightforward: spend less time consuming prepackaged tunes and more time making music. This will be doubly rewarding if done with others – singing with one’s family, singing in church, playing in a string quartet, starting a regular jam session. If personal media players tend to cut us off from the physical presence of others, sharing in good music together breaks the spell of isolation and disembodiment. It builds friendship and community.On this theme:- Maureen Swinger’s amateur choir sings Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion.- Stephen Michael Newby says Black spirituals aren’t just for Black people. - Mary Townsend finds Dolly Parton magnificent, but would Aristotle? - Phil Christman finds catharsis in the YouTube comments of eighties songs. - Ben Crosby says congregational singing should be unabashedly weird to visitors.- Joseph Julián González draws on ancient Nahua poets in his music.- Christopher Tin explains why he weaves so many historical influences into his music. - Seven musicians talk about making your own music in schools, churches, prisons, backyards, or children’s bedrooms: Nathan Schram, Esther Keiderling, Norann Voll, Chaka Watch Ngwenya, Eileen Maendel, Adora Wong, and Brittany Petruzzi.Also in the issue: Exclusive excerpts from forthcoming books by Eugene Vodolazkin and Esther Maria Magnis- Thoughts on music from Augustine, Gregory of Nyssa, Hildegard of Bingen, Martin Luther, and Eberhard Arnold- Catholics and Anabaptists unite to commemorate the Radical Reformation- New poems by Jacqueline Saphra- A profile of Argentinian singer Mercedes Sosa.- Reviews of Kate Clifford Larson’s Walk with Me, Rowan Williams’s Shakeshafte, and Sam Quinones’s The Least of UsPlough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to apply their faith to the challenges we face. Each issue includes in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art.

Nyhetstidningen Arbetaren grundades 1922 och kom redan tidigt att skilja ut sig från mängden med sitt frihetliga perspektiv på demokrati, facklig kamp och jämlikhet. Under åren har Arbetaren avslöjat korruption, granskat nazister, uppmärksammat klimathotet och samtidigt gett stor plats åt kulturen. Bland medarbetarna finns några av Sveriges mest kända arbetarförfattare, serietecknare, artister och aktivister. År 2022 fyller Arbetaren 100. Den här boken berättar om tidningen från det allra första numret, via de bohemiska tidningskvarteren i gamla Klara, de stora avslöjandena under och efter andra världskriget, fram till dagens feministiska och intersektionella perspektiv och fackliga utmaningar. Här finns återpublicerade reportage, unika fotografier, illustrationer, och nyskrivna texter av mer än 30 olika skribenter - var och en med sin unika relation till Arbetaren. Dessutom nyskrivna personporträtt av medarbetare som på olika sätt gjort stora insatser för den fria journalistiken och hela det svenska samhället: Albert Jensen, Elise Ottesen-Jensen, Stig Dagerman, Moa Martinson och Vilhelm Moberg. Tidningen Arbetarens historia är historien om fri journalistik på arbetarnas sida. Arbetaren ges ut av Arbetaren Tidnings AB, som ägs av fackföreningen SAC Syndikalisterna. Syndikalismen är en frihetligt socialistisk gren av arbetarrörelsen som organiserar alla yrken i medlemsstyrda fackföreningar. Arbetaren – 100 år som fri tidning ges ut av Federativs förlag i samband med tidningens hundraårsjubileum.
