In November 1956, a unified Telugu-speaking state of Andhra Pradesh came into being. In February 2014, Parliament bifurcated it to create two Telugu-speaking states: Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Old History, New Geography provides the context, text and subtext to the bifurcation, which continues to be contentious and controversial.

Restoring three-dimensionality to more than 50 American sayings, Tippecanoe and Tyler Too turns clichés back into history by telling the life stories of the words that have served as our most powerful battle cries, rallying points, laments, and inspirations. In individual entries on slogans and catchphrases from the early 17th to the late 20th century, Jan Van Meter reveals that each one is a living, malleable entity that has profoundly shaped and continues to influence our public culture.

The 1828 presidential election, which pitted Major General Andrew Jackson against incumbent John Quincy Adams, has long been hailed as a watershed moment in American political history. It was the contest in which an unlettered, hot-tempered southwestern frontiersman, trumpeted by his supporters as a genuine man of the people, soundly defeated a New England "aristocrat" whose education and political resume were as impressive as any ever seen in American public life.

In The Obama Doctrine, Colin Dueck analyzes and explains what the Obama Doctrine in foreign policy actually is and maps out the competing visions on offer from the Republican Party. Dueck, a leading scholar of US foreign policy, contends it is now becoming clear that Obama's policy of international retrenchment is in large part a function of his emphasis on achieving domestic policy goals. There have been some successes in the approach, but there have also been costs.

The chaotic events leading up to Mitt Romney's defeat in the 2012 election indicated how far the Republican Party had rocketed rightward away from the center of public opinion. Republicans in Congress threatened to shut down the government and force a U.S. debt default. Tea Party activists mounted primary challenges against Republican officeholders who appeared to exhibit too much pragmatism or independence. Moderation and compromise were dirty words in the Republican presidential debates. The GOP, it seemed, had suddenly become a party of ideological purity. Except this development is not new at all.

Americans are disgusted with watching politicians screaming and yelling at one another on television. But does all the noise really make a difference? Drawing on numerous studies, Diana Mutz provides the first comprehensive look at the consequences of in-your-face politics. Her book contradicts the conventional wisdom by documenting both the benefits and the drawbacks of in-your-face media.

Political races in the United States rely heavily on highly paid political consultants who carefully curate the images of politicians, advise candidates on polling and analytics, and shape voters' perceptions through marketing and advertising techniques. More than half of the $6 billion spent in the 2012 election went to consultants who controlled virtually every aspect of the campaigns, from polling, fundraising, and media to more novel techniques of social media and micro-targeting.

With Share This! both regular folks of a progressive bent and committed activists can learn how to go beyond swapping movie reviews and vacation photos (not that there's anything wrong with that). At the moment, the same kinds of people who dominate the dialog off-line are dominating it online, and things will never change if that doesn't change. Progressives need to get on social networks and share their stories, join conversations, connect with others - and not just others exactly like themselves.

Since the eviction of Occupy protestors from encampments in many cities throughout the world, smaller and more targeted occupations have continued. Workers in a Chicago factory occupied - with the support of their union - to protest layoffs. Teachers and students in Tucson staged a walkout to protest the removal of Chicano history books from the curriculum. Home foreclosures were disrupted, even avoided, by direct community action. But what does it all mean? What do we talk about when we talk about "revolution", if we talk about it at all?

The saga of the Freedom Riders is an improbable, almost unbelievable story. In the course of six months in 1961, 450 Freedom Riders expanded the realm of the possible in American politics, redefining the limits of dissent and setting the stage for the civil rights movement. In this new version of his encyclopedic Freedom Riders, Raymond Arsenault offers a significantly condensed and tautly written account.

Flat tax, reddito di cittadinanza, moneta fiscale, aumento dell'età pensionabile, sforamento del tetto del 3 per cento. Sono le principali proposte economiche delle tre forze che oggi si contendono il governo del paese. Sono interventi spesso improvvisati, che avrebbero un impatto in alcuni casi catastrofico sui nostri conti. In tutto il mondo le campagne elettorali si combattono con slogan e comizi, ma qui stiamo parlando di cifre enormi, incomparabili con qualsiasi promessa fatta in precedenza: la flat tax della Lega costerebbe 80 miliardi l'anno, quella di Forza Italia 130.

Come si può vincere le elezioni e governare in un contesto caratterizzato dalla velocità dei cambiamenti tecnologici e sociali? Gli elettori si comportano sempre più come consumatori e il compito del nuovo marketing politico non è abbellire un prodotto da vendere, ma costruire una relazione a lungo termine con il cittadino-elettore. "Il nuovo marketing politico" è una bussola per la fast politics, nella quale il ciclo delle notizie è attivo 24 ore su 24, una grande mole di dati viene prodotta dagli elettori attraverso i media digitali.

La libertà di manifestazione del pensiero rappresentava la "pietra angolare" della democrazia. Ma ormai non è più così: non siamo più liberi di pensare i nostri stessi pensieri. La trappola scatta il 4 dicembre 2009, quando Google avverte gli utenti che da allora in poi avrebbe personalizzato il proprio motore di ricerca. Significa che i risultati cambiano a seconda delle ricerche precedenti, del computer da cui stiamo interrogando Google, del luogo nel quale ci troviamo.

Debruçar-se sobre a nossa realidade política, social e artística é um exercício que hoje requer a aproximação de um conceito que é discutido há pelo menos dois mil e quinhentos anos com outro recém-chegado ao léxico das grandes questões e que hoje praticamente define o contemporâneo. Ética e pós-verdade discute o tema em diferentes campos da criação e da reflexão ao reunir cinco ensaios com enfoques que passeiam pela política, psicanálise, filosofia e literatura, cinco abordagens distintas apresentadas por grandes nomes da cena cultural e intelectual brasileira.

A muchos les parece evidente la incapacidad de esta administración de conformar un programa de gobierno viable, la cortedad de su agenda, la politización de todas las decisiones públicas, la consecuente polarización y la falta de habilidad técnica de no pocos de sus cuadros. Sin embargo, la oposición tampoco ha logrado reconstruirse para recuperar su credibilidad y se prevé como altamente probable un segundo mandato de la coalición gobernante.

"Política e religião sempre andaram juntas: na Pré-história, na Antiguidade, desde sempre e até hoje, mesmo que sob formas não tão evidentes." "O cotidiano saturado de políticas permeadas pelas guerras culturais tem vocação beligerante contínua." "Seja lá o que for a ‘verdade’, ela nunca interessou à democracia na construção cotidiana do poder." "O homem comum não se preocupa muito com liberdade de expressão e troca facilmente qualquer regime por uma janta melhor. É um fetiche achar que o homem comum ama a democracia."

Ignacio Stampa fue el involuntario protagonista de un conjunto de acontecimientos de enorme repercusión mediática durante su intervención como fiscal anticorrupción en el llamado caso Tándem o caso Villarejo. Fiel a sí mismo, decidió hacer frente a diferentes estamentos y a quienes, desde la cúpula de la Fiscalía General del Estado, se confabularon por oscuros intereses particulares para provocar que su profesionalidad quedara en entredicho y no continuara con dicha investigación.

El retrato de una obsesión identitaria que paralizó Cataluña y amenaza al conjunto de España.Esta es la primera biografía completa no oficial de Carles Puigdemont, un hombre enfebrecido en su ensoñación patriótica, un independentista integral incomprendido entre los nacionalistas de su generación que habían medrado a la sombra del pujolismo. Inicialmente excluido de los círculos directores del procés, fue tejiendo desde la alcaldía de Gerona una red de alianzas con los sectores más duros y exaltados del independentismo de base.
