Principles of Responsible Governance

Sandeep Krishnamurthy

Sinossi

"Principles of Responsible Governance" explores the structures and processes designed to ensure accountability, transparency, responsiveness, rule of law, stability, equity, inclusiveness, empowerment, and broad-based participation in governance. We demonstrate how ethics can constrain improper behavior through high-profile case studies that connect readers to fundamental ethical questions. Themes of public interest, natural law, and rule of law provide a framework for these case studies, which include topics such as torture, impeachment, competence, electoral violations, and historical corruption.
We also highlight the responsibilities and policy formation of governments and their impact on the public. Ethics, social responsibility, leadership, and governance are terms often heard but rarely integrated into policies and cultures guiding behavior and decisions. Our book addresses this gap by offering a broad-based and integrated approach to responsible leadership and governance.
With insights into emerging areas requiring future attention, "Principles of Responsible Governance" provides leading thinking on these issues. This book is a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of ethical governance and its role in promoting social justice and equity.

Patrick Bordeaux, George Koob

Addiction is a worldwide curse that seems to be growing in seriousness on a yearly basis. While to the general public addiction may seem almost inescapable, the truth is that there are solutions to overcoming the various addictions, though to date they seem more elusive than attainable. The goal of Escaping Addiction is to highlight the variety of causes of addiction alongside an array of useful tools anyone can use to break the cycle of addiction, whether it’s to alcohol, drugs, food, or video games. The seeds of addictive behavior are often planted in childhood then fed to grow over years of the input-and-reward cycle. Detaching the rewards from the addictive input is key to breaking the habits that keep us addicted. Presented here are a variety of treatments—from medications to therapeutic approaches—that can help. Offering a better understanding of the mechanisms of addiction, this book can help anyone struggling with addiction to unravel it in their own lives.

Ancient Myths And Nazi...

Davis Truman

A chilling exposé of how one of history’s most infamous regimes distorted the ancient past to engineer a deadly future. 
In Ancient Myths and Nazi Propaganda, Davis Truman unveils the shocking ways Adolf Hitler and the Nazi elite co-opted classical mythology, archaeology, and pseudo-history to fabricate the myth of Aryan supremacy. Drawing from original documents, Nazi-era publications, and modern scholarship, this groundbreaking work exposes how ancient symbols and legends were weaponized to create a false historical narrative, one that fueled genocide, war, and the darkest chapter of the twentieth century. 
From misused Greco-Roman iconography to twisted interpretations of Indo-European migration theories, Truman traces the roots of Nazi ideology through a manipulated lens of antiquity. He explores how fabricated “evidence” of ancient Aryan civilization was used to justify racial purity laws, territorial expansion, and the cultural erasure of entire populations. 
With compelling clarity and academic precision, Ancient Myths and Nazi Propaganda offers a powerful warning: when history is rewritten to serve an ideology, the consequences are catastrophic. 
Perfect for readers of history, politics, WWII studies, and anyone seeking to understand how ancient and modern myths can be used to manipulate truth and justify atrocity.

The Shortest History of Democracy

John Keane

'DEMOCRACY HAS A LONG, EVENTFUL PAST. DOES IT HAVE A FUTURE?The roots of democracy stretch back beyond Athens to Syria- Mesopotamia and the Indian subcontinent, where citizens' assemblies held privilege and power to account over 3,000 years before the French Revolution. In this timely and illuminating new global history, John Keane ('one of the world's leading political thinkers' ,The Times) gets to the heart of a complex, ever-evolving ideal.Today, American-style democracy may appear to be in decline, but Keane shows that this isn't the whole story. In many places, such as Taiwan and Senegal, India and South Africa, distinctly local varieties are coming into being. Yet it's impossible to ignore the proliferation of populist strongmen on every continent: the Putins and the Bolsonaros, the Trumps and Lukashenkos. Is democracy past its sell-by date, as they would have us believe? Or is it time to embrace the true, radical potential of an ancient idea?
