  • Revolution and Democracy: Sociopolitical Systems in the Context of Modernisation Leonid E
    preview version Revolution and Democracy: Sociopolitical Systems in the Context of Modernisation Leonid E. Grinin and Andrey V. Korotayev Abstract The stability of socio-political systems and the risks of destabi- lisation in the process of political transformation are among the most im- portant issues of social development; the transition to democracy may pose a serious threat to the stability of a respective socio-political system. This article studies the issue of democratisation. It highlights the high economic and social costs of a rapid transition to democracy for countries unpre- pared for it—democracy resulting from revolutions or similar large-scale events. The authors believe that in a number of cases authoritarian regimes turn out to be more effective in economic and social terms than emerging democracies, especially those of a revolutionary type, which are often inca- pable of ensuring social order and may have a swing to authoritarianism. Effective authoritarian regimes can also be a suitable form of transition to an efficient and stable democracy. Using historical and contemporary examples, particularly the recent events in Egypt, the article investigates various correlations between revolutionary events and the possibility of es- tablishing democracy in a society. Keywords: democracy, revolution, extremists, counterrevolution, Isla- mists, authoritarianism, military takeover, economic efficiency, globali- sation, Egypt Introduction It is not surprising that in five years none of the revolutions of the Arab Spring has solved any urgent issues. Unfortunately, this was probably never a possibility. Various studies suggest a link between 110 preview version revolutions and the degree of modernisation of a society.1 Our research reveals that the very processes of modernisation, regardless of the level of consumption and the rate of population growth, is closely and organically linked to the risk of social and political upheaval, which can Leonid E.

  • Reading Julia De Burgos with the FBI HARRIS FEINSOD
    98 CENTRO JOURNAL VOLUME XXVI • NUMBER II • FALL 2014 Between Dissidence and Good NeighBor Diplomacy: Reading Julia de Burgos with the FBI HARRIS FEINSOD ABSTRACT Little is known about Julia de Burgos’s six months as an audit clerk at the Offi ce of the Co- ordinator of Inter-American Affairs in Washington, D.C. (1944-1945). This article recounts this interlude in Burgos’s career by focusing on her FBI fi le and the Hatch Act investigation that led to her termination as a federal employee. Reading the FBI fi le in the vein of literary criticism, the article shows how bureau ghosttranslators characterized Burgos’s political poems as works of dissident Nationalism. In so far as Burgos’s poems navigate the compet- ing ideologies of Puerto Rican Nationalism and Good Neighbor diplomacy, the article links them to a hemispheric matrix of writing—by Elizabeth Bishop, Pablo Neruda, Luis Palés Matos, Samuel Putnam and William Carlos Williams, among others—in which Puerto Rican decolonial politics intersect international communism and anticommunism. [Keywords: Julia de Burgos; Pablo Neruda; Elizabeth Bishop; Federal Bureau of Investigations; Good Neigh- bor Policy; Puerto Rican Nationalism] The author ([email protected]) is Assistant Professor in the Department of English and the Program in Comparative Literary Studies at Northwestern University. His current book project is Fluent Mundo: Inter-American Poetry from Good Neighbors to Countercultures.

  • Afrasian Instability Zone and Its Historical Background*
    Afrasian Instability Zone and Its Historical Background* Andrey Korotayev, Leonid Issaev, Maria Rudenko, Alisa Shishkina, and Evgeny Ivanov National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow ABSTRACT The evolution of the Afroeurasian world-system which in the ‘long 16th century’ was transformed into the global World System com- prised both economic and political components, some of which are discussed in the present article. Earlier research has identified four major zones of instability which can be designated as the Cen- tral Asian (including Afghanistan and Pakistan), the Middle East, North Africa, and the Sahel region. We suggest considering these four zones as a single Afrasian macrozone of instability. We show that this zone correlates rather closely with the zone of traditional prevalence of the parallel cousin marriage, as well as with the zone of very low female labor force participation rate, and the ter- ritory of the Umayyad Califate. The article demonstrates that this correlation is not coincidental and also discusses the factors and mechanisms that have produced it. INTRODUCTION The evolution of the Afroeurasian world-system that in the ‘long 16th century’ transformed into the global World System (see, e.g., Grinin and Korotayev 2014) had not only economic but also political components some of which will be discussed in the present article.

    PHL 445/545 (CRNs: 16115/16156) Advanced Ethics, Fall 2017 MWF: 10:15-11:20 Cramer Hall 250 Instructor Alex Sager Office: 393B Neuberger Hall (Philosophy Department) [email protected] Office hours: TBD1 Course Description This course explores how history, geography, and power have influenced our understanding of ethics through a close reading of the major Latin American philosopher Enrique Dussel’s Ethics of Liberation in the Age of Globalization and Exclusion. Dussel offers a counter-reading of the philosophical canon from the perspective of people excluded from dominant systems. Through his engagement with dozens of major philosophers, Dussel builds a systematic ethical philosophy aimed at human liberation and emancipation. To engage and assess Dussel’s counter-reading, we will also study Kant’s Groundwork, the introduction to Hegel’s Philosophy of History, John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism, Marx’s Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts and Theses on Feuerbach, Rawls’ seminal essays on justice as fairness, and Nobel Peace Laureate Rigoberta Menchú’s autobiography.
