Summary

Civic Participation Levels explores the varying degrees of civic engagement and volunteerism across different nations, seeking to understand why some societies thrive while others struggle with apathy. It examines how citizens interact with their governments and communities, focusing on participation in civic organizations, volunteerism, and political processes. The book highlights that variations in civic participation are not random but are influenced by institutional frameworks, socio-economic factors, and cultural attitudes. One intriguing insight is the significant impact of trust in government on promoting civic participation, demonstrating that higher trust levels correlate with increased engagement. This book analyzes large-scale international surveys and case studies to provide both quantitative and qualitative insights. It examines the impact of government policies on volunteerism and investigates the role of digital technologies in shaping contemporary civic action. By integrating perspectives from political science, sociology, and economics, the book offers a holistic understanding of civic behavior. The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework to examining case studies and proposing actionable policies to promote broader civic engagement. Civic Participation Levels stands out due to its integrated approach, combining quantitative analysis of global datasets with qualitative case studies. This allows for uncovering the complex mechanisms underlying civic participation. For example, the book notes the critical role of social cohesion and access to resources as determinants of civic engagement. The book is valuable for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in strengthening civil society.

    Just a few years ago, people spoke of the US as a hyperpower—a titan stalking the world stage with more relative power than any empire in history. Yet as early as 1993, CIA director James Woolsey pointed out that although Western powers had "slain a large dragon" by defeating the Soviet Union in the Cold War, they now faced a "variety of poisonous snakes." 
 
 
 
In The Dragons and the Snakes, the eminent soldier-scholar David Kilcullen asks how, and what, opponents of the West have learned during the last quarter-century of conflict. Applying a combination of evolutionary theory and detailed field observation, he explains what happened to the "snakes"-non-state threats including terrorists and guerrillas-and the "dragons"-state-based competitors such as Russia and China. He explores how enemies learn under conditions of conflict, and examines how Western dominance over a very particular form of warfare since the Cold War has created a fitness landscape that forces adversaries to adapt in ways that present serious new challenges to America and its allies. Within the world's contemporary conflict zones, Kilcullen argues, state and non-state threats have increasingly come to resemble each other, with states adopting non-state techniques and non-state actors now able to access levels of precision and lethal weapon systems once only available to governments.

    Jacques Derrida had a major influence on twentieth century philosophy and the idea of postmodernism. Challenging some of the deepest assumptions of the Western philosophical tradition, he is most renowned—or condemned—for his engagement with the movement that he called 'deconstruction.'In this Very Short Introduction, Simon Glendinning explores both the difficulty and significance of the work of Derrida. Glendinning provides a clear sense of the centrality of Derrida's interest in Europe and his relationship to philosophy, to religious history, and to modern democratic politics.
