Author: Cady Coleman
Narrator: Cady Coleman

Former NASA astronaut Cady Coleman shares the wisdom that helped her overcome the barriers of others’ expectations-and how to work on a team both in close quarters and remotely. In 2010, Cady Coleman boarded a rocket and blasted off into space for her third NASA mission, a six-month expedition to the International Space Station where she was the only woman on her six-person crew. After years spent overcoming obstacles in competitive and elite environments, including grappling with her own doubts and needing to overturn the expectations of others, Coleman became a success story in a role that wasn’t built with her in mind-a mother who is also an astronaut, scientists, Air Force pilot, and leader.

Democracy and Power-Sharing in Stormy Weather The Case of Lebanon


Free Download Democracy and Power-Sharing in Stormy Weather: The Case of Lebanon By Tamirace Fakhoury Mühlbacher (auth.)
2009 | 480 Pages | ISBN: 3531165291 | PDF | 7 MB
Since the inception of the fragile nation-state in 1943, Lebanon has been faced with the constantly unstable predicament of being torn between Middle Eastern and Western orbits. After examining Lebanon’s pre-war consociational democracy as well as the factors behind its collapse in 1975, Tamirace Fakhoury Mühlbacher analyses the post-war order (1990-2006) by shedding light on both interrelated phenomena: communal power-sharing in a turbulent environment and Lebanon’s "hybrid democratisation" between Syrian tutelage and the impulses for more liberalisation against the backdrop of exogenous and endogenous factors. The author analyses in detail Lebanon’s uncertain 2005 system transition, the so-called ‘Beirut Spring’, and its aftermath. In a critical perspective, she highlights fundamental communal and political dynamics that result from the collision of internal and external conflict lines on Lebanese ground, and how the former have impeded balanced power-sharing and democratisation in the small Arab Republic. This book is essential reading for researchers and students from the social sciences, in particular sociology and political science.

In fragile states, domestic and international actors sometimes take the momentous step of sharing sovereign authority to provide basic public services and build the rule of law.
