  MyVote is a bold, practical blueprint for turning your smartphone into a comprehensive e-governance platform that unifies access to government services, modernizes democratic participation through secure digital identity and verified polling, and aims to reduce control of American democracy by billionaires and corporate interests while increasing accountability, transparency, and citizen empowerment. 
  Drawing on real systems already running in countries like Estonia, Singapore, and Denmark, MyVote describes a single, ad-free, government-funded app that puts emergency help, veterans' benefits, housing support, job programs, health coverage, taxes, and local services under one trusted roof. No more predatory ads, scam websites, or hours lost in bureaucratic quicksand; with MyVote, you log in once, see exactly what services are available to you and track everything from your pocket. 
  But this is more than a service portal; it is a complete electronic governance vision explaining how secure data exchange, biometric digital IDs, verified polling, and standardized candidate profiles can make representatives more responsive, their donors visible, their promises trackable, and your vote verifiable in real time. It shows how continuous, authenticated public input and transparent election infrastructure can make lobbyists weaker and citizens stronger, without sacrificing privacy or civil liberties. 
  Accessible, sharply argued, and packed with real-world examples, MyVote is for everyone who senses that "the system is rigged" but wants to revitalize democracy with a better user interface instead of tearing it to the ground. If you care about voting rights, digital privacy, income inequality, or simply getting the help promised by your government without being exploited, this book shows how electronic governance can move America toward the "more perfect union" promised at its founding, and invites you to help make it real.

  "Keep religion and politics separate!" For decades, scholars assumed that less religion would lead to a more peaceful and unified form of politics. And yet, as religious identity recedes from American public life, the opposite appears to be the case. Our post-religious politics are growing more polarized, anxious, and unstable each day. Could a return to ancient religious wisdom and community be the key to healing what secular politics can't fix? 
  In Can Religion Save Democracy? two friends and colleagues—a Christian theologian and a Muslim political scientist—make a bold case: If American democracy is going to survive, it will require more religion, not less. Drawing on wisdom from their respective religious traditions, they explorewhy secularism has only deepened our divides,what ancient insights from Christianity and Islam can strengthen our common life,how spiritual practices contribute something critical and irreplaceable to democracy, andhow citizens can navigate a new world of deep polarization and mistrust. 
   
  This is not a call for theocracy or religious authoritarianism. It's a hopeful, clear-eyed vision showing how religious faith offers vital tools to renew the soul of democracy in a divided nation.

  From the Palestinian struggle against Israeli Apartheid, to First Nations' mass campaigns against pipeline construction in North America, Indigenous peoples are at the forefront of some of the crucial struggles of our age. Rich with their distinct histories and cultures, they are connected by the shared enemy they face: settler colonialism. 
   
   
   
  In this introduction to the subject, Sai Englert highlights the ways in which settler colonialism has and continues to shape our global economic and political order. From the rapacious accumulation of resources, land, and labor, through Indigenous dispossession and genocide, to the development of racism as a form of social control, settler colonialism is deeply connected to many of today's social ills. 
   
   
   
  To understand settler colonialism as an ongoing process, is therefore also to start engaging with contemporary social movements and solidarity campaigns differently. It is to start seeing how distinct struggles for justice and liberation are intertwined.

  Europe in the Age of Insecurity...

  The international system is going through a phase of heightened disorder. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, and the Israel-Hamas conflict in late 2023 have shown that the current crisis of the international order is being increasingly militarized. Facing wars and instability closer to home, and a rise in big-power competition, Europe is feeling less and less "secure".
  This year's ISPI Report unpacks the different dimensions of the current "Age of Insecurity", looking into its political, economic, and demographic facets. It shows how different actors in the international system tackle such insecurity (while also contributing to create more), with a focus on the United States, China, Russia, India and the "Global South", and the main protagonists of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
  It finally zooms in on Europe, looking for viable options that could help the continent better face these rising political, economic, and demographic insecurities.
