Uniform Title: Die Erfindung des Terrorismus in Europa, Russland und den USA 1858-1866 (2016)

Content: Zusammenfassung: "This book examines key cases of terrorist violence to show that the invention of terrorism was linked to the birth of modernity in Europe, Russia and the United States, rather than to Tsarist despotism in 19th century Russia or to Islam sects in Medieval Persia. Combining a highly readable historical narrative with analysis of larger issues in social and political history, the author argues that the dissemination of news about terrorist violence was at the core of a strategy that aimed for political impact on rulers as well as the general public. Dietze's lucid account also reveals how the spread of knowledge about terrorist acts was, from the outset, a transatlantic process. Two incidents form the book's centerpiece. The first is the failed attempt to assassinate French Emperor Napoléon III by Felice Orsini in 1858, in an act intended to achieve Italian unity and democracy. The second case study offers a new reading of John Brown's raid on the arsenal at Harpers Ferry in 1859, as a decisive moment in the abolitionist struggle and occurrences leading to the American Civil War. Three further examples from Germany, Russia, and the US are scrutinized to trace the development of the tactic by first imitators. With their acts of violence, the "invention" of terrorism was completed. Terrorism has existed as a tactic since then and has essentially only been adapted through the use of new technologies and methods"--(Provided by publisher.)

Uniform Title: The American democrat

Content: Der Romancier James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) war nicht nur durch seine Lederstrumpf-Erzählungen weltberühmt: Goethe, Schubert, Balzac oder Arno Schmidt zählten zu seinen Bewunderern. Als politischer Autor kommt er zu ähnlich kritischen Befunden wie sein Zeitgenosse Alexis de Tocqueville. Im vorliegenden Buch geht er auf Vorzüge und Gefährdungen der Demokratie ein, die für Cooper den Gentleman als Bürger erfordert. Ebenso skizziert er das erforderliche Umfeld, wie Sitten, Kultur, Religion bis hin zur Kochkunst. Heute werden auch seine Notate zur Sklaverei interessieren: „Es werden in derselben Gegend zwei Rassen bestehen, deren Gefühle durch Haß verbittert sind und die in den Gesichtern die Zeichen ihrer Parteiung tragen. Der Kampf, der daraufhin folgt, wird (…) ein Krieg zur Auslöschung sein.“ Der ergänzende Beitrag von Russell Kirk, ein Kapitel aus seinem Buch The Conservative Mind mit dem Titel „Cooper und Tocqueville“ gibt ein Bild des politischen Cooper.

Content: This book offers a broad and deep examination of the dynamics of US imperialism. Petras analyzes imperialism not only as economic domination, showing that its impact in the world takes many forms, including cultural, political and historical. He points to the disruptive effects it has on other world regional economies and cultures. Capitalism and imperialism take diverse forms but both are intimately tied to the projection of state power in the service of capital - a strategy designed to advance the geopolitical and economic interests of the US economic elite and ruling class - interests that are equated with the 'US national interest'.

Series Statement: Cambridge elements. Elements in American politics

Content: American political observers express increasing concern about affective polarization, i.e., partisans' resentment toward political opponents. We advance debates about America's partisan divisions by comparing affective polarization in the US over the past 25 years with affective polarization in 19 other western publics. We conclude that American affective polarization is not extreme in comparative perspective, although Americans' dislike of partisan opponents has increased more rapidly since the mid-1990s than in most other Western publics. We then show that affective polarization is more intense when unemployment and inequality are high; when political elites clash over cultural issues such as immigration and national identity; and in countries with majoritarian electoral institutions. Our findings situate American partisan resentment and hostility in comparative perspective, and illuminate correlates of affective polarization that are difficult to detect when examining the American case in isolation.

Topics include the new shape of political Islam, the Middle East as a crucible for international legal precedent, human security, the role of North African hip hop in defining and mobilizing a generation of activists, the effects of the region wide failure of neo-liberalism and globalization, regional politics in a post-American world, proxy wars and the new security framework, and to individual country studies (Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Saudi Arabia). The volume ends with an afterword by Moncef Marzouki, the first president of post-uprising Tunisia"--
