Sinopse

Biggest Cities explores the rise of megacities, massive urban areas reshaping our world. It investigates the historical context, from ancient settlements to modern metropolises, and analyzes the demographic and economic forces driving urbanization. The book unveils how factors like industrialization and migration patterns have fueled urban growth, leading to both opportunities and challenges. One intriguing fact is that while megacities can be hubs of economic development, their unmanaged expansion often strains resources and exacerbates social inequalities.

 
The book progresses by defining key concepts, examining specific cases like Tokyo and Delhi, and then presenting potential solutions for sustainable urban development. It emphasizes an integrated approach, considering social, political, and cultural dimensions alongside economic and environmental aspects. By drawing connections between Earth Sciences, Geography, and World History, Biggest Cities offers a holistic perspective. For instance, the book highlights how geographical analysis reveals spatial patterns and regional disparities within megacities, while historical perspectives illuminate the long-term consequences of urbanization.

 
This comprehensive analysis makes it a valuable resource for understanding the complex forces shaping our urban future.

    As part of University of Buckingham’s 50 Anniversary, we are republishing Dr Tobisawa’s The Influence of Society on Japanese Nuclear Disarmament Policy with a new foreword. 
    Japan is the only country in the world to have been attacked with nuclear weapons. Her anti-nuclear Civil Society Organisations, with their experiences of coping with the fallout of the atom bomb blasts, are passionately committed to their cause. 
    This is an investigation of the influence that Japanese CSOs have on Japanese official policy in respect of nuclear disarmament. Significantly, it focuses on the private diplomacy of CSOs, on the mitigation of inter-state conflicts that lie behind nuclear issues, and on the involvement of governments in social movements of nuclear disarmament. To explain and understand this effectively could lead to the resolution of half-century of failed attempts at nuclear disarmament.

    At 8:00 p.m. eastern standard time on election night 1988, NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw informed the country that they would soon know more about the outcome of "one of the longest, bloodiest presidential campaigns that anyone can remember." It was a landslide victory for George H. W. Bush over Michael Dukakis, and yet Bush would serve only one term. The 1988 presidential race quickly receded into history, but it was marked by the beginning of the modern political sex scandals, the first major African American presidential candidacy, the growing power of the religious right, and other key trends that came to define the elections that followed. Bush's campaign tactics clearly illustrated the strategies and issues that allowed Republicans to control the White House for most of the 1970s and 1980s, and the election set the stage for the national political advent of both Joe Biden and Donald Trump. 
     
     
     
    Robert L. Fleegler's narrative history of the 1988 election draws from untapped archival sources and revealing oral history interviews to uncover just how consequential this moment was for American politics. Identifying the seeds of political issues to come, Fleegler delivers an engaging review of an election that set a template for the political dynamics that define our lives to this day.

    A powerful case for democracy and how it can adapt and survive—if we want it to 
     
     
     
    Is democracy in trouble, perhaps even dying? Pundits say so, and polls show that most Americans believe that their country's system of governance is being "tested" or is "under attack." But is the future of democracy necessarily so dire? In The Civic Bargain, Brook Manville and Josiah Ober push back against the prevailing pessimism about the fate of democracy around the world. Instead of an epitaph for democracy, they offer a guide for democratic renewal, calling on citizens to recommit to a "civic bargain" with one another to guarantee civic rights of freedom, equality, and dignity. That bargain also requires them to fulfill the duties of democratic citizenship: governing themselves with no "boss" except one another, embracing compromise, treating each other as civic friends, and investing in civic education for each rising generation. 
     
     
     
    Manville and Ober trace the long progression toward self-government through four key moments in democracy's history: Classical Athens, Republican Rome, Great Britain's constitutional monarchy, and America's founding. Comparing what worked and what failed in each case, they draw out lessons for how modern democracies can survive and thrive.
