"The decades-long resilience of Middle Eastern regimes meant that few anticipated the 2011 Arab Spring. But from the seemingly rapid leadership turnovers in Tunisia and Egypt to the protracted stalemates in Yemen and Syria, there remains a common outcome: ongoing control of the ruling regimes. While some analysts and media outlets rush to look for democratic breakthroughs, autocratic continuity-not wide-ranging political change-remains the hallmark...

The Common Law changed America forever. The lectures-which were given at the Lowell Institute in Boston and subsequently published in 1880-created a buzz of excitement that enveloped the New England intellectual community. Over a century later, we can look back at The Common Law and still feel the same sense of excitement that our predecessors did, virtually undiminished by the tumultuous decades of American jurisprudence that have followed. It remains...

Performers y performensos asumen el debate televisivo como un "dispositivo" diseñado y aplicado por los medios de comunicación privados, que actúan en el marco de las posibilidades que permiten las "relaciones de poder"3 de nuestro sistema político. Desde la perspectiva de Foucault (1991) el debate crea un "medioambiente" en el transcurrir de las campañas, que se acopla a las subjetividades impuestas por el liberalismo económico, a través de...

Most social science studies of local organizations tend to focus on "civil society" associations, voluntary associations independent from state control, whereas government-sponsored organizations tend to be theorized in totalitarian terms as "mass organizations" or manifestations of state corporatism.

También el lugar donde habitan sus élites, incluida la burocracia, los altos funcionarios y los actores económicos y financieros. Pero a su vez, las niega como realidades políticas porque quiere conservar el control. Las ciudades, sin embargo, empiezan a pensar que...

While some politicians and media outlets present it as dangerous to the U.S., Europe, and Latin America, others hail it as the fix for broken democracies. Not surprisingly, questions about populism abound. Does it really threaten democracy? Why the sudden rise in populism? And what are we talking about when we talk about "populism"? The Global Rise of Populism argues for the need to rethink this...
