  In a political landscape defined by patronage, personality, and pageantry, The Filipino Politician: How To Become A Typical Trapo Politician In The Philippines cuts through the rhetoric to reveal the tactics that keep traditional politicians—"trapos"—in power. Whether you're an aspiring local leader, a community organizer, or simply curious about how influence is really brokered, this book offers a pragmatic blueprint grounded in Philippine realities. From barangay halls to national capitols, discover how seasoned trapos build loyalty, neutralize rivals, and shape public opinion. 
  Inside, you'll explore ten in‑depth chapters packed with concrete strategies:Designing Patronage Machines that bind constituents through targeted appointments and contracts.Mastering Media Narratives with rapid‑response spin, social‑media micro‑targeting, and smear tactics.Legal and Bureaucratic Neutralization via audits, red‑tape maneuvers, and regulatory leverage.Crisis Exploitation—turning typhoons, scandals, and pandemics into political capital. 
  You'll also learn the subtle arts of public posturing vs. private deals—projecting fierce nationalism while courting foreign investment behind closed doors—and strategic non‑alignment, playing great powers off one another for maximum aid and loans. Harness the psychology of unpredictability to keep allies hopeful and adversaries on edge, and employ symbolism and pageantry—uniforms, rituals, and ceremonies—to reinforce authority and unity.

  Fascism - What It Is and How to...

  Leon Trotsky

  Fascism: What It Is and How to Fight It, written by Leon Trotsky in 1933, is a critical analysis of the rise of fascist movements in Europe, particularly focusing on Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler. Trotsky argues that fascism is not a sudden, irrational outburst of violence but rather the result of deep structural crises in capitalist society, which the ruling class seeks to resolve through authoritarian means. He explains that fascism arises when the traditional political establishment is unable to suppress revolutionary movements from below (such as workers' uprisings or socialist revolutions) and when the capitalist system is threatened by economic collapse. 
  Trotsky highlights that fascism is a tool of the bourgeoisie, aimed at preserving the existing social order through terror, militarism, and the suppression of democratic freedoms. However, it is not simply a reactionary force; it has its own set of internal contradictions, as fascists simultaneously defend capitalist interests while attacking the political establishment and the working class. 
  Trotsky warns of the dangers of fascism's rise and stresses the importance of building a united front of the working class and the Left to prevent its spread. He critiques both Stalinism and social democracy for their failures to adequately respond to the fascist threat, emphasizing the need for a revolutionary approach to combat the fascist menace.

  The Making of Black Lives Matter...

  Christopher J. Lebron

  Started in the wake of George Zimmerman's 2013 acquittal in the death of Trayvon Martin, the #BlackLivesMatter movement has become a powerful and incendiary campaign demanding redress for the brutal and unjustified treatment of black bodies by law enforcement in the United States. The movement is only a few years old, but as Christopher J. Lebron argues in this book, the sentiment behind it is not; the plea and demand that "Black Lives Matter" comes out of a much older and richer tradition arguing for the equal dignity—and not just equal rights—of black people. 
   
   
   
  In this updated edition, The Making of Black Lives Matter presents a condensed and accessible intellectual history of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and expands on the movement's relevancy. This edition includes a new introduction that explores how the movement's core ideas have been challenged, re-affirmed, and re-imagined during the white nationalism of the Trump years, as well as a new chapter that examines the ideas and importance of Angela Davis and Amiri Baraka as significant participants in the Black Power Movement and Black Arts Movement, respectively. Drawing on the work of Davis, Baraka, and other revolutionary black public intellectuals, Lebron clarifies what it means to assert that "Black Lives Matter" when faced with contemporary instances of anti-black law enforcement.

  The Myth of Left and Right - How...

  A groundbreaking argument that the political spectrum today is inadequate to twenty-first-century America and a major source of the confusion and hostility that characterize contemporary political discourse. 
   
   
   
  As American politics descends into a battle of anger and hostility between two groups called "left" and "right," people increasingly ask: What is the essential difference between these two ideological groups? In The Myth of Left and Right, Hyrum Lewis and Verlan Lewis provide the surprising answer: nothing. As the authors argue, there is no enduring philosophy, disposition, or essence uniting the various positions associated with the liberal and conservative ideologies of today. Far from being an eternal dividing line of American politics, the political spectrum came to the United States in the 1920s and, since then, left and right have evolved in so many unpredictable and even contradictory ways that there is currently nothing other than tribal loyalty holding together the many disparate positions that fly under the banners of "liberal" and "conservative." Cutting against the grain of most scholarship on polarization in America, this book shows why the idea that the political spectrum measures deeply held worldviews is the central political myth of our time and a major cause of the confusion and vitriol that characterize public discourse.

  The Yemen Model - Why US Policy...

  A close look at failed US policies in the Middle East, offering a fresh perspective on how best to reorient goals in the region 
   
   
    
  In this book Alexandra Stark argues that the US approach to Yemen offers insights into the failures of American foreign policy throughout the Middle East. Stark makes the case that despite often being drawn into conflicts within Yemen, the United States has not achieved its policy goals because it has narrowly focused on counterterrorism and regional geopolitical competition rather than on the well-being of Yemenis themselves. She offers recommendations designed to reorient US policy in the Middle East in pursuit of US national security interests and to support the people of these countries in their efforts to make their own communities safe, secure, and prosperous.
