Synopsis

In a time of political turmoil and moral decay, The Call for Ethical Politics offers a refreshing and inspiring vision for a better way forward. This book argues that ethics should be at the heart of all political decision-making, and that we need to reject the notion that politics is a realm devoid of morality.

Author Pasquale De Marco draws on a wealth of experience in politics and public service to lay out a compelling case for ethical politics. He argues that we need leaders who are guided by a deep sense of moral purpose, who are willing to stand up for what is right, even when it is unpopular, and who are committed to serving the common good rather than their own narrow interests.

The Call for Ethical Politics is more than just a critique of the current state of affairs. It is also a roadmap for change. Pasquale De Marco offers a detailed plan for how we can create a more just, compassionate, and ethical society. He calls on citizens to become more engaged and informed, to hold their elected officials accountable, and to work together to create a culture of ethical politics.

This book is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of our democracy. It is a call to action for all those who believe that politics can be a force for good in the world.

The Call for Ethical Politics is a powerful and persuasive argument for a new kind of politics, a politics that is rooted in our shared values and aspirations. It is a call for a politics that is worthy of our great nation.

With its clear and concise prose, The Call for Ethical Politics is an accessible and informative read for anyone interested in politics, ethics, or the future of our democracy.

Polycentric Water Governance in...

Nora Schütze

Increasing irrigation efficiency has been high on the political agenda in Spain for many years. However, the overarching aim to reduce agricultural water consumption has not been met so far. To explore this phenomenon, Nora Schütze investigates processes of coordination between the water and agricultural sector in three Spanish river basins in the context of the EU Water Framework Directive implementation. From the perspective of polycentric governance, she identifies multiple mechanisms which illustrate how and why actors interact in certain ways, and thus shows why environmental aims of the Water Framework Directive remain unachieved.

The Politics of Digital...

Felix Heidenreich, Florian...

Digitization is transforming our world economically, culturally, and psychologically. The influx of new forms of communication, networking, and business opportunities, as well as new types of distraction, self-observation, and control into our societies represents an epochal challenge. Following Bernard Stiegler's concept of pharmacology, Felix Heidenreich and Florian Weber-Stein propose to view these new forms as digital pharmaka. Properly dosed, they can enable new self-relationships and forms of sociality; in the case of overdose, however, there is a risk of intoxication.
In this essay, Felix Heidenreich, Florian Weber-Stein, and, in a detailed interview, Bernard Stiegler analyze this complex change in our world and develop new skills to use digital pharmaka.

Populism and Democracy - How...

Arlo Holders

Populism, as a political phenomenon, has seen a significant resurgence in recent decades, challenging both traditional political structures and the established norms of democratic governance. It is a term often used to describe political movements or leaders who claim to represent "the people" against a corrupt or out-of-touch elite. The central tenet of populism lies in its rhetoric, which typically divides society into two antagonistic groups: the virtuous, ordinary people and the corrupt, self-serving elite. These populist movements tap into widespread dissatisfaction with the status quo, offering simple, direct solutions to complex political and economic issues. The appeal of populism is particularly potent in times of economic instability, social division, or perceived political disillusionment, providing a voice to those who feel marginalized or neglected by traditional political parties.
Democracy, on the other hand, is founded on principles of inclusivity, pluralism, and the protection of rights. The democratic system is built upon checks and balances, where power is distributed across various institutions to prevent any one entity from gaining too much control. The rule of law and respect for civil liberties are central to the functioning of democratic societies. While democracy inherently embraces political diversity and disagreement, it relies on established norms and values, such as the protection of minority rights, the independence of the judiciary, and the free exchange of ideas.

Poisoning the Press - Richard...

Mark Feldstein

It is March 1972, and the Nixon White House wants Jack Anderson dead. The syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, the most famous and feared investigative reporter in the nation, has exposed yet another of the President's dirty secrets. Nixon's operatives are ordered to "stop Anderson at all costs"—permanently. Across the street from the White House, they huddle in a hotel basement to conspire. Should they try "Aspirin Roulette" and break into Anderson's home to plant a poisoned pill in one of his medicine bottles? Could they smear LSD on the journalist's steering wheel, so that he would absorb it through his skin, lose control of his car, and crash? Or stage a routine-looking mugging, making Anderson appear to be one more fatal victim of Washington's notorious street crime?Poisoning the Press: Richard Nixon, Jack Anderson, and the Rise of Washington's Scandal Culture recounts not only the disturbing story of an unprecedented White House conspiracy to assassinate a journalist, but also the larger tale of the bitter quarter-century battle between the postwar era's most embattled politician and its most reviled newsman. The struggle between Nixon and Anderson included bribery, blackmail, forgery, spying, and burglary as well as the White House murder plot. Their vendetta symbolized and accelerated the growing conflict between the government and the press, a clash that would long outlive both men.Mark Feldstein traces the arc of this confrontation between a vindictive president and a flamboyant, crusading muckraker who rifled through garbage and swiped classified papers in pursuit of his prey—stoking the paranoia in Nixon that would ultimately lead to his ruin. The White House plot to poison Anderson, Feldstein argues, is a metaphor for the poisoned political atmosphere that would follow, and the toxic sensationalism that contaminates contemporary media discourse. Melding history and biography, Poisoning the Press unearths significant new information from more than two hundred interviews and thousands of declassified documents and tapes. This is a chronicle of political intrigue and the true price of power for politicians and journalists alike. The result—Washington's modern scandal culture—was Richard Nixon's ultimate revenge.
