Sinossi

"Dynastic Politics" explores how family ties and power transitions within families have profoundly influenced the course of history. It delves into dynastic systems, revealing how lineage, inheritance, and the consolidation of power have shaped empires and nations. 

 
The book emphasizes dynastic legitimacy, the methods rulers use to cement authority, such as constructing genealogies and strategic marriages. It also investigates succession crises, recurring periods of instability leading to civil wars and fragmentation. 

 
The book uniquely examines the inherent contradictions of dynastic power, arguing that the pursuit and maintenance of such power, while intended to ensure stability, often leads to long-term instability. This is due to the suppression of dissent, concentration of resources, and cyclical succession crises. 

 
Through case studies ranging from the Roman Empire to European monarchies, the book offers a comparative analysis of diverse dynastic systems. It progresses by first establishing a theoretical framework, then moves to specific historical examples, comparative analyses, and finally, the long-term consequences of dynastic systems.

    The Yalta Conference, held in February 1945, was a pivotal moment in the history of the 20th century, marking the intersection of military triumph and political strategy. As World War II neared its end, the leaders of the three major Allied powers—President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom, and Premier Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union—gathered in the Crimean resort town of Yalta to discuss the future of Europe and the post-war world. This summit was not only a negotiation of territory but a critical turning point that set the stage for the global dynamics that would shape the Cold War and the decades that followed. 
    The atmosphere at Yalta was charged with the urgency of closing the chapter on a devastating war while simultaneously navigating the fractured relations between the Allies. The conversations were less about compromise and more about power, as each leader sought to secure the best possible outcome for their respective nations. Roosevelt, with his idealistic vision of a world order based on cooperation and peace, worked to establish the groundwork for the United Nations, believing that international cooperation would prevent future wars. Churchill, wary of Soviet expansion, focused on ensuring the preservation of British influence in Europe and curbing the rise of Soviet power. Stalin, on the other hand, aimed to secure the Soviet Union's strategic interests, particularly in Eastern Europe, and to strengthen the USSR's position as a superpower. 
    The decisions made at Yalta were far-reaching, with agreements on the division of Germany, the establishment of post-war borders, and the promise of Soviet participation in the Pacific War against Japan. These discussions laid the foundation for the division of Europe into spheres of influence, with the Soviet Union asserting control over Eastern Europe, while the Western Allies sought to maintain democratic governance in the West.

    A timely defense of affirmative action policies that offers a more nuanced understanding of how centuries of invidious racism, discrimination, and segregation in the United States led to and justifies such policies from both a moral and constitutional perspective. 
     
     
     
    In A Legacy of Discrimination, leading constitutional scholars Lee C. Bollinger and Geoffrey R. Stone trace affirmative action's history and the legal challenges it has faced over the decades. They argue that in order to fully comprehend affirmative action's original intent and impact, we must reacquaint ourselves with the era in which it arose, beginning with the most important Supreme Court decision of the twentieth century, 1954's Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. Assessing this history, Bollinger and Stone introduce subsequent, and evolving, affirmative-action case law that had the intent and effect of constraining social, educational, and economic progress for Black people and other minority groups. They demonstrate how and why affirmative action policies stand on firm legal ground and must remain protected. Further, they explain why Americans must view affirmative action as a long-term moral commitment to secure justice, especially for Black Americans, after three and a half centuries of grave injustice that violates the most essential aspirations of our nation.

    Black Power and the American...

    In 1970, C. T. Vivian, a close colleague of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a member of his executive staff, sat down to take stock of the civil rights movement and the progress it had made. His assessment was that it failed, and that the blame lay in the existence of myths about America. 
     
     
     
    As prophetic today as it was fifty years ago, Vivian's voice rings out as a critique and a call to action for a society in deep need of justice and peace. 
     
     
     
    The civil rights struggle that began when Rosa Parks, a seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama, decided to sit in the front of a bus has deeply altered American society and the American conscience. Yet from several perspectives, that movement has resulted in failure. The Black struggle for independence is more of an uphill climb than ever. Why? C. T. Vivian asserts that the civil rights movement failed because it was built on certain myths about America: 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that Americans will do what is right as soon as they know what is right. 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that legislation leads to justice. 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that America is an open society where any minority group can advance. 
     
     
     
    ● the myth that an ethic of love forms the core of the American conscience.
