  Margaret Thatcher - Life After...

  "A joy to read." Andrew Roberts
  The story of Margaret Thatcher's post-premiership years is a tale of high drama and low farce, with, at its heart, one extraordinary woman.
  Margaret Thatcher enjoyed perhaps one of the most consequential political afterlives in British history. No longer in office but never really out of power, she was not only one of the most impactful Prime Ministers the UK has ever had; she was also one of the most impactful former Prime Ministers the UK has ever had. British politics today undoubtedly reflects Thatcher's time in No. 10, but it is also shaped by her later life and how people reacted and still react to it.
  To mark the centenary of her birth, Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street provides a radical reassessment of how Thatcher's premier emeritus years have been viewed to date. Covering the four main areas of her work after Downing Street – philosophy, party, policy and performance – and analysing her continued and continuing influence on the Conservative leaders and Prime Ministers of all parties who followed her, it demonstrates why, however small the politics may or may not have got since 1990, Margaret Thatcher is still big.

  The Grounds of Political Legitimacy

  Political decisions have the potential to greatly impact our lives. Think of decisions in relation to abortion or climate change, for example. This makes political legitimacy an important normative concern. But what makes political decisions legitimate? Are they legitimate in virtue of having support from the citizens? Democratic conceptions of political legitimacy answer in the affirmative. Such conceptions rightly highlight that legitimate political decision-making must be sensitive to disagreements among the citizens. 
   
   
   
  Peter argues that the legitimacy of political decisions doesn't just depend on respect for the citizens' will; and defends a novel hybrid conception of political legitimacy, called the Epistemic Accountability conception. According to this conception, political legitimacy also depends on how political decision-making responds to evidence for what there is most reason to do. The Grounds of Political Legitimacy starts with an overview of the main ways in which philosophers have thought about political legitimacy, and identifies the epistemic accountability conception as an overlooked alternative. Considering the norms that should govern political debate, it examines the role of experts in politics, and probes the responsibilities of democratically elected political leaders and as well as of citizens.

  City Planning - Concepts and...

  City planning is more than just the design of roads, buildings, and parks; it is the blueprint for a society's future. The way cities are planned has a profound impact on the lives of their inhabitants, influencing everything from the air they breathe to their access to resources and opportunities. At its core, city planning seeks to create environments that are not only functional but also sustainable, inclusive, and resilient. In an era where urbanization is increasing rapidly, the importance of thoughtful city planning has never been greater. 
  The planning process involves much more than the physical layout of a city. It encompasses strategies for economic growth, social equity, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation. A well-planned city can enhance quality of life, boost economic productivity, and provide a sense of community, while a poorly planned city can lead to overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, and environmental degradation. As more people move into cities every year, urban planners are tasked with creating spaces that are not only livable but also adaptable to future needs. 
  One of the most pressing reasons for effective city planning is the growing concern over environmental issues. Cities are responsible for a significant portion of global carbon emissions, and urban sprawl has led to the depletion of natural resources. Through sustainable urban planning practices, cities can reduce their environmental footprint by promoting energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy sources, and green spaces. Additionally, proper planning can mitigate the effects of climate change, such as flooding and heat islands, by incorporating resilient infrastructure that can withstand extreme weather conditions.

  United Arab Emirates Conquering...

  The United Arab Emirates has emerged in a few decades to sell itself as an enlightened, modern, liberal beacon in the midst of a dark and chaotic Arab world. As the first country in the region to implement a "Vision" (Abu Dhabi Vision 2030), the UAE quickly became a resounding success beyond its borders. This is the bright side. 
  The dark side: the UAE contributes to the stifling of democracies in Muslim countries. When they are not waging war, as in Yemen, they interfere, as no Arab power has done before, in the affairs of other countries, namely, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Sudan, Tunisia. 
  Abu Dhabi does not care about the Arab revolutions - for ten years, the country has engaged in a powder keg policy, which heralds new dangers for the region's equilibrium.
