Free Download Neil Loughlin, "The Politics of Coercion: State and Regime Making in Cambodia"
English | ISBN: 1501776584 | 2024 | 186 pages | PDF | 4 MB
In The Politics of Coercion, Neil Loughlin explains the persistence of Cambodia’s authoritarian regime for more than four decades. It provides a historically grounded investigation of the country’s ruling coalition: political elites, many drawn from within the state’s coercive apparatus, who, in coordination with state-dependent tycoons, have come to control Cambodia’s politics and its economy. Loughlin presents new empirical data foregrounding the coercive underpinnings of the modern Cambodian state and its party, the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).

Free Download Bekithemba Dube, "Regime, Religion and the Consolidation of Zanu-PFism in Zimbabwe: When Religion Becomes a Threat to Democracy "
English | ISBN: 3031460839 | 2023 | 233 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This collection focuses on the role of religious leaders and religious institutions in supporting or resisting the democratization process in Zimbabwe. It scrutinizes the actions of religious leaders such Andrew Wutawunashe and Jeremiah Mutendi who were prominent in the political scene and participated as enablers of the undemocratic regime. The contributors to this volume employ a variety of methodological approaches to understand the operational dilemma of the second republic under Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, commonly referred to as Zanupfism. It is an empirical study to determine the impact of religious leaders as regime enablers and assess the effects of such an approach in terms of social development, democracy, and social transformation as espoused in the rise of the second republic. In order to balance the narrative, the book highlights and offers critique of religious leaders and institutes who are the resistors of the regime. It specifically explores the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops Conference, Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe Council of Churches, Talent Chiwenga and Shingi Munyeza. This is a critical study of decoloniality in a religious context that documents characters such as Shingi Mayeza, Bishop Mutendi, Mapostori who seldomly appear in scholarship despite their great impact (either positive or negative) on the lives of the people of Zimbabwe.

Free Download Kisho Tsuchiya, "Emplacing East Timor: Regime Change and Knowledge Production, 1860-2010"
English | ISBN: 0824894987 | 2024 | 310 pages | EPUB, PDF | 36 MB + 12 MB
Emplacing East Timor explores the relationship between the cycle of regime change and that of knowledge production, offering an alternative framework to periodize the history from 1850s to 2010s. Kisho Tsuchiya shows that the prevailing perceptions of East Timor have been shaped by large-scale wars, postwar consolidation, and the dominance of foreign observers. The transitions that construct what we know about East Timor have followed the rhythm of devastating violence and regime transformations. Playing a role as well are personal, institutional, and geopolitical interests and the creativity of Timorese and foreign observers. Acknowledging this cycle, Tsuchiya interweaves narrative of crucial events and political movements with an analysis of Timor’s connections to global circulations and historical transitions. He traces key persons and communities that shaped the contour of East Timor―from Portuguese colonial officers to anthropologists, Japanese occupiers to Australian activists, and Timorese poets to revolutionaries. Their experiences and imaginations of (East) Timor have been expressed through scholarly works, secret documents, policy statements, ceremonies, revolutionary songs, and museums.

Free Download Tuomas Kuronen Marja Vuorinen, Aki-Mauri Huhtinen, "Regime Changes in 20th Century Europe"
English | ISBN: 1443899348 | 2016 | 445 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In retrospect, historical change often appears to be both logical and inevitable. Yet as a process, as a series of moments, it is by nature open-ended. The protagonists are unaware of the potential consequences of their choices, nor the meaning of their actions in the greater scheme of things. An individual, in real time, in the middle of events, has little scope for understanding the whole. The dynamic of a regime change involves a journey away from a particular past towards a chosen future, with the practices of the old regime being called into question. The competing visions for a better future often include a reactionary option, looking back towards an older period, perceived as golden age waiting to be restored. In the aftermath of a regime change, the new cadres, seeking to consolidate their power, form the new conservative bloc in the society. When revolutionary forces again begin to gather, the regime disintegrates, and the cycle begins again. So far, regime changes have been analysed as unique, one-off events. This book traces what such processes, regardless of their ideological colour, have in common. How does political power change hands? What are the mental and material tools of change? From the last stages of World War I to the present Crimean crisis, the case studies in this book offer timeless insights for understanding ideological and military conflicts, including the undercurrents of the present Russo-Western relations.

Free Download FASCHISMUS ALS BEWEGUNG UND REGIME: ITALIEN UND DEUTSCHLAND IM VERGLEICH By MAURIZIO BACH, STEFAN BREUER (auth.)
2010 | 419 Pages | ISBN: 3531173693 | PDF | 2 MB
Faschismus ist ein generelles Phänomen, das jedoch nur in Italien und Deutschland zur vollen Entfaltung kam. Das wird in diesem Band sowohl in typologischer als auch in empirisch-vergleichender Perspektive dargelegt. Gezeigt werden soll, welchen Beitrag die Herrschaftssoziologie Max Webers zur Deutung und Erklärung des Faschismus leisten kann. Schwerpunkte liegen auf dem Verhältnis von Vergemeinschaftung und Vergesellschaftung in der Bewegungsphase sowie der Veralltäglichung des Charisma in der Regimephase, die in Italien zu einer Stabilisierung bürokratisch-zentralistischer Strukturen führte, in Deutschland dagegen eine De-Institutionalisierung der staatlichen Ordnung bewirkte.
