  Anarchism and Society - How...

  Anarchism, as a political philosophy, is fundamentally concerned with the question of authority and its rightful place in society. The central tenet of anarchism is the belief that no individual or institution should have absolute power over others. This idea rejects hierarchical structures and the idea of the state as a necessary or legitimate institution. Anarchism calls for a society where individuals govern themselves through voluntary cooperation and mutual aid, without the need for a coercive state apparatus. 
  Historically, anarchism has evolved from a series of intellectual traditions and movements that have sought to challenge the dominant power structures in society. It draws heavily on the ideas of early political thinkers such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who famously declared, "Property is theft!" and Mikhail Bakunin, who argued for the abolition of the state and the establishment of a society based on collective freedom and self-management. These thinkers were critical of the state, capitalism, and other forms of social hierarchy that limit human freedom. 
  Anarchism is often misunderstood or misrepresented as a chaotic or violent ideology. However, at its core, anarchism advocates for a peaceful and just society where individuals are free to govern themselves without external control. Anarchists argue that true freedom can only be achieved when people are no longer subject to the oppressive structures of the state, capitalism, or other forms of authoritarian control. They advocate for the dismantling of oppressive institutions and the creation of a more equitable and cooperative society.

  From Warlords to Statelords -...

  In Libya and Yemen armed groups play a central role. Pervading weak and contested institutions, they have gradually brought their webs of survival, profit and governance under the state umbrella: warlords have become the new lords of the state. Armed groups control most of the energy revenues, critical infrastructure, smuggling and illicit trafficking. Their leaders are multifaceted: they are simultaneously military commanders, tribal chiefs, politicians and businessmen.
  Combining comparative analysis and case studies, this Report sheds light on the "economic face" of the armed groups and their power trajectories. How do armed groups build networks of profit and loyalty in the territories they hold? How does clientelism mark a continuity trend with former authoritarian regimes?

  Creating a Nation That Is Fair for Us All 
  Cindy Mathers has experienced firsthand the impact of our traumatised, fragmented and broken systems on First Nations people, and indeed us all. She has been mentored by and worked collaboratively with First Nations people for over two decades, learning through respect, deep listening, and truth telling. 
  After repeated experiences of burnout, she began searching for solutions outside of current systems. Through personal and ancestral healing, extensive research, and study, she learned that the disrespect and disregard of human rights of the First Nations people at the time of colonization created wounds that remain in our collective psyche and are passed down through generations. 
  In DELVE-ing into Cultural Humility, Mathers shares a learning pathway forward, based on respect and deep listening. She created the DELVE formula as a collaborative way to implement change in our nation: 
  ●       Deconstruct—how did we get here as a nation? 
  ●       Explore—the impact of abuse of Human Rights on us all 
  ●       Listen—and learn, with deep presence to the stories of First Nations people 
  ●       Viable—what First Nations-led / collaborative initiatives are working? 
  ●       Energise—what works and fund community-led, place-based initiatives 
  In these pages, you will see a snapshot of what is possible when we engage the DELVE formula. By applying this pathway to her real-life projects and experiences, Mathers has created a succinct and practical resource for those who wish to learn Cultural Humility and become part of creating a new nation that respects the Human Rights of all.

  Political Choice in a Polarized...

  What motivates citizens to support one party over the other? Do they carefully weigh all of the relevant issues and assess which party or candidate best matches their own positions? Or do people look at politics as something more akin to a team sport—the specifics do not matter as long as you know what side your team is on? Answering these questions requires us to think about how much the average American knows about politics. Many scholars of public opinion believe that the majority of Americans only pay passing attention to politics. Thus the electorate's apparent lack of political competence presents a direct challenge to normative theories of democracy. How are citizens supposed to exert control over the government if they have no idea what is going on? 
   
   
   
  In Political Choice in a Polarized America, Joshua N. Zingher argues that these fears are overblown. Not only do individuals have core beliefs about what the government should or should not do, but individuals have become more likely to support the party that best matches their policy attitudes by both identifying as a member of that party and voting for that party in elections. However, as Zingher demonstrates, voters' ability to match their attitudes to a party or candidate varies according to signals sent by elites and increases as parties become more polarized.
