  The Last Best Hope - A History...

  In this brilliant exploration of American history and contemporary conservative politics, foreign policy expert John Hulsman draws on his years at the heart of Washington to present a compelling new vision of conservative realism. 
  In our current Age of Insecurity, Hulsman suggests, there has never been a bigger need for the re-ascendance of realist principles in conservative circles. By drawing on U.S. history to illustrate realist precepts at the heart of the American story, The Last Best Hope provides a practical, realist foreign policy for a new age of American politics. 
  There has never been a greater time to re-claim the primacy of conservative thought. By fusing the populist Jacksonian base of the GOP with the more libertarian Jeffersonian school of thought, this cogently argued manifesto hopes to grasp that opportunity, and to act as a clarion call for a new dominant realist foreign policy.

  The Open Mind - Accepting Others...

  An open mind is not simply the ability to consider new ideas; it is a deep commitment to understanding, acceptance, and growth. In a world filled with diverse perspectives, an open mind acts as a bridge between different experiences, beliefs, and cultures. Embracing this quality begins with self-awareness, as recognizing one’s own biases and limitations is the first step toward true intellectual humility. When we acknowledge that our perspective is just one among many, we create space for learning and connection. 
  The process of understanding an open mind involves examining the roots of our thoughts and behaviors. Many of our judgments and preconceived notions originate from early experiences, societal norms, and ingrained habits. These factors shape how we view others and the world around us. By questioning these influences, we allow ourselves to break free from automatic responses and engage in thoughtful reflection. This reflective process is essential for transforming criticism into genuine curiosity and compassion. 
  Developing an open mind requires both intentional practice and courage. It means being willing to step outside our comfort zones and explore ideas that challenge our existing beliefs. This journey often involves confronting uncomfortable truths about ourselves and recognizing the limitations of our knowledge. However, the rewards are significant: increased empathy, improved relationships, and the ability to navigate complex social landscapes with grace. An open mind is not passive; it is an active, ongoing process of growth that requires us to listen deeply and respond with sensitivity.

  Timing & Turnout - How Off-Cycle...

  Sarah F. Anzia

  Public policy in the United States is the product of decisions made by more than 500,000 elected officials, and the vast majority of those officials are elected on days other than Election Day. And because far fewer voters turn out for off-cycle elections, that means the majority of officials in America are elected by a politically motivated minority of Americans. Sarah F. Anzia is the first to systemically address the effects of election timing on political outcomes, and her findings are eye-opening.            The low turnout for off-cycle elections, Anzia argues, increases the influence of organized interest groups like teachers’ unions and municipal workers. While such groups tend to vote at high rates regardless of when the election is held, the low turnout in off-cycle years enhances the effectiveness of their mobilization efforts and makes them a proportionately larger bloc. Throughout American history, the issue of election timing has been a contentious one. Anzia’s book traces efforts by interest groups and political parties to change the timing of elections to their advantage, resulting in the electoral structures we have today. Ultimately, what might seem at first glance to be mundane matters of scheduling are better understood as tactics designed to distribute political power, determining who has an advantage in the electoral process and who will control government at the municipal, county, and state levels.

  Nobody Is Protected - How the...

  Late one July night in 2020, armed men, identified only by the word POLICE written across their uniforms, began snatching supporters of Black Lives Matter off the street in Portland, Oregon, and placing them in unmarked vans. These mysterious actions were not carried out by local law enforcement or even right-wing terrorists, but by the US Border Patrol. Why was the Border Patrol operating so far from the boundaries of the United States? What were they doing at a protest that had nothing to do with immigration or the border? 
   
   
    
  Nobody Is Protected: How the Border Patrol Became the Most Dangerous Police Force in the United States is the untold story of how, through a series of landmark but largely unknown decisions, the Supreme Court has dramatically curtailed the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution in service of policing borders. The Border Patrol exercises exceptional powers to conduct warrantless stops and interrogations within one hundred miles of land borders or coastlines, an area that includes nine of the ten largest cities and two thirds of the American population. 
   
   
    
  Mapping the Border Patrol's history from its bigoted and violent Wild West beginnings through the legal precedents that have unleashed today's militarized force, Reece Jones reveals the shocking true stories and characters behind its most dangerous policies.
