Free Download Harrie Salman, "The Great Reset and its Health Dictatorship: A Guide to Freedom in the Post-Corona World"
English | ISBN: 1736316516 | 2021 | 168 pages | EPUB | 452 KB
This new and compelling book by Harrie Salman is a manifesto in which he analyzes the ills of our times, calls out those persons and institutions he sees as responsible for those ills, and issues a call to action. He addresses that call to action to all of us who believe that individuals and groups working together can renew and liberate our society. He calls on us to become fully human and enrich our social lives―impoverished by the lockdowns of what he calls "the health dictatorship"―from the bottom up, with inspiration from the Divine. It is a noble call, and Harrie is quite aware that the tasks he outlines will not be easily accomplished.

Free Download Robert K. Schaeffer, "Red Inc.: Dictatorship and the Development of Capitalism in China, 1949 to the Present"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 1594517118, 1594517126 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 1.0 mb
Red Inc. takes issue with the view that economic development will eventually promote democracy. It outlines in detail the enormous social costs of the rapid rise of China’s economy. Although many observers argue that Deng Xiaoping introduced capitalism to China in the late 1970s, Schaeffer believes that capitalist development really began during the 1950s under Mao Zedong. But although Mao made relentless efforts to generate the capital needed to finance economic development, his regime failed to promote any real growth. Schaeffer shows that the remarkable rise of its economy in recent years has provided China with new and often corrupt sources of wealth and power that have enabled it to resist democracy. He brings into sharp focus the consequence of the regime’s uncompromising approach to capital accumulation.

Free Download Ronald H. Chilcote, Stylianos Hadjiyannis, Fred A. III Lopez, "Transitions From Dictatorship To Democracy: Comparative Studies Of Spain, Portugal And Greece"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1138993808, 0844816752 | EPUB | pages: 226 | 1.1 mb
First published in 1991. In the late 1970s, Nicos Poulantzas, in Crisis of the Dictatorships: Portugal, Spain, Greece, applied his well-known theoretical perspectives to a concrete analysis of the major transformations that occurred in those three countries during 1974 and 1975. His provocative and interpretative analysis not only provided a basis for comparative study but also examined several important theoretical questions about transition from dictatorship to representative democracy and on to socialism. The present essays offer a retrospective assessment of this transition and examine current developments with particular attention to the role of the state and social classes in the overthrow of the old dictatorships, the evolution of representative democracy and political parties, and the formal integration of these countries into the European Eco nomic Community and the international capitalist system.

English | ISBN: 0197520138 | 2021 | 264 pages | AZW3 | 2 MB
Authoritarian states work hard to manage their images abroad. They invest in foreign-facing media, hire public relations firms, tout their popular celebrities, and showcase their successes to elite and popular foreign audiences. However, there is a dark side to these efforts that is sometimes overlooked. Authoritarian states try to obscure or censor bad news about their governments and often discredit their critics abroad. In extreme cases, authoritarian states intimidate, physically attack, or even murder their opponents overseas. All states attempt to manage their global image to some degree, but authoritarian states in the post-Cold War era have special incentives to do so given the predominance of democracy as an international norm.

Free Download Dictatorship on Trial: Coups and the Future of Justice in Thailand by Tyrell Haberkorn
English | June 25, 2024 | ISBN: 1503635465, 1503639401 | True EPUB/PDF | 287 pages | 3.4/18.8 MB
In 2014, after a decade of political turmoil, the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) carried out Thailand’s 13th coup since the country’s transformation from absolute to constitutional monarchy in 1932. Though the NCPO promised to restore the rule of law, justice-long tenuous in Thailand-disappeared entirely. The legal system was used to criminalize the thoughts and actions of democratic dissidents, facilitate extrajudicial violence, and guarantee impunity for the coup and crimes by state officials.

Free Download Harald Bodenschatz, "Urbanism and Dictatorship: A European Perspective "
English | ISBN: 3038216607 | 2015 | 248 pages | PDF | 16 MB
Der Städtebau der europäischen Diktaturen in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts diente nicht nur der Herrschaftssicherung im eigenen Lande, sondern auch der Anerkennung durch die demokratischen Staaten. Nach der Machtübergabe an das nationalsozialistische Regime geriet er mehr und mehr zur Trumpfkarte im Wettbewerb unter den großen Diktaturen Europas – fast wie in der Zeit des Absolutismus. Jenseits aller Konflikte und politischer Orientierungen bestand ein intensiver fachlicher Austausch unter den Ländern Europas.

Free Download Matthew Philpotts, "The Margins of Dictatorship: Assent and Dissent in the Work of Günter Eich and Bertolt Brecht"
English | 2003 | pages: 381 | ISBN: 303910022X, 0820462918 | PDF | 1,3 mb
In this study the author elaborates a comparative framework for analysing literary texts from the Third Reich and the GDR in terms of the extent of assent and/or dissent expressed through them towards the National Socialist and SED regimes. The author maps out areas of similarity and difference in the workings of cultural policy in the two dictatorships. In the second part of the study, Günter Eich’s work for the Nazi radio system and Bertolt Brecht’s cultural activities in the GDR act as case studies to illuminate the patterns of interdependent assent and dissent generated under the conditions of dictatorship.
