Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Notes Chapter 1 1. According to a new Canadian polling organization called Globescan, support for United States as of April 2010 was 46 percent positive on balance worldwide (n = 49,000) (BBC World Service 2010). 2. Such coercive diplomacy has been standard operating procedure long before the Kiev Post first reported an intercepted phone call where U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland explicitly stated, “fuck the EU” while discussing the precarious future of Ukraine. 3. More information about L7 can be found at their official website: http://l7official .com. 4. According to the Encyclopedia of Terrorism (Gus 2011, 602), “The Unabomber [. .] was responsible for placing or mailing 16 packages and letterbombs that resulted in three deaths and nearly two dozen injuries.” After the first killing, he went into hiding for eight years. Chapter 2 1. This chapter cites ten- year- old data due to the fact that the subsequent privatization of prisons in the United States renders gender- and race- disaggregated data on occu- pations and prisoner and jail populations invalid. 2. More recent data are unavailable due to widespread prison privatization in our state. No centralized system has been created to provide gender desegregated labor force data to researchers. 3. The Department of Corrections of the State of Texas is an important employer. In 1999 they had the second largest budget of any correctional system in the United States, second only to California (Sourcebook 2002). 4. I was informed of or personally witnessed these incidents routinely in the course of my assignment at Rikers Island. 5. Data supporting this finding are impossible to locate, as many workers are protected by civil service unions that seal such employee records. The small numbers of women make this reality highly intuitive. 6. I attempted to meet with the inmate prior to the incident on a public health matter. After examining his medical records, in discussions with correctional officials and in light of his frequent rate of recidivism, it was well known to all staff members that this particular prisoner was a danger to himself and to others. Some of the bizarre behaviors that necessitated segregating him out of general population involved epi- sodes where he ingested live plants, including a cactus, as well as his own urine and 272 O Notes feces. One must assume that the officer who engaged in this unethical sexual behav- ior was well aware of the prisoner’s history of mental problems, as internal disclosure of such information was standard policy. 7. During a “lockdown” due to instability associated with any type of revolt or upris- ing, bored corrections officials from stable housing units amuse themselves by batter- ing detainees during a controlled “walk” under the guise of population count. The blood of this particular Rikers Island incident came from beatings exacerbated by the fact that inmates had been prepared for their imminent beating and attempted to minimize the effects of their assault by simultaneously wearing all their clothing, including heavy sweaters and jackets. This resulted in ever worse beatings. During Hurricane Katrina, correctional officials preparing to abandon Orleans Parish Prison took detainees and inmates for a similarly cruel “walk” and handcuffed them without food or water to the nearest bridge over the industrial canal, where they were left in the sweltering sun for days. Both resulted in successful litigation on the part of detain- ees and inmates. 8. When prison populations are down in New York City, the police engage in a practice known as sweeps, where a critical mass of individuals are in public in close proxim- ity to other felons in violation of the conditions of their parole or probation and are returned to detention. This is the practice routinely used to maximize populations in for- profit detention facilities across America. Chapter 4 1.

This trend in German museum management is expected to diminish since the Bund- estag (German Parliament) recently blocked funding for the far right extremist insti- tutional memory project formalized through a Nazi forced migration museum in Berlin. They are, nevertheless, implementing their exclusionary nationalistic vision of Nazi victimization in the forthcoming refugee museum commemoration spear- headed by historical revisionist Erika Steinbach. See Lutomski (2004). Chapter 10 1.

  • 20 Years Later: a Look Back at the Unabomber Manifesto by Brett A
    PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 9, Issue 6 20 Years Later: A Look Back at the Unabomber Manifesto by Brett A. Barnett Abstract On September 19, 1995, The New York Times and The Washington Post submitted to “Unabomber” Theodore Kaczynski’s demand to publish his manifesto, a treatise that would come to be known as the “Unabomber Manifesto.” While Kaczynski has been serving a life sentence for the letter-bombing campaign that he perpetrated between 1979 and 1995, the radical environmentalist rhetoric contained within his manifesto has become available to an even wider audience of current and would-be environmental extremists than when it was first published. Given its availability online, the Unabomber Manifesto has become one of the most well-known rhetorical artifacts endorsing environmental extremism. Using Herbert Simons’ “rhetorical requirements” approach, this study demonstrates that the Unabomber Manifesto represents Kaczynski’s rhetorical efforts to animate like-minded environmental extremists. The article concludes by discussing how the Unabomber Manifesto resonated with some radical environmentalists and may have even served as a catalyst for later acts committed by U.S.-based environmental extremists. By utilizing a framework for examining the rhetoric of violent revolutionary social movements, this study provides further insight into what motivates environmental extremists of today.

  • Introduction to the 2017 Edition
    Introduction to the 2017 Edition Sheldon Wolin was our most important contemporary political theorist. He gave us a modern vocabulary to describe our decayed democracy and the poi- sonous effects of empire. He was a scholar who detested orthodoxies, rooted his understanding of democracy in the ancient concept of the Athenian demos and believed, like Max Weber, that politics was a vocation. Ralph Nader gave me Democracy Incorporated: Managed Democracy and the Specter of Inverted Totalitarianism when it first came out in 2008. Nader, who has been fighting the abuse of corporate power longer and with perhaps more success than any other American, called it a “masterpiece.” Wolin cap- tured the political mutations caused by neoliberalism and coined the term “inverted totalitarianism” for the novel political and economic system it had spawned. He foresaw that this system of inverted totalitarianism would, as it has, eventually crush or hollow out our democratic institutions and give rise to an authoritarian or even totalitarian regime. Inverted totalitarianism is different from classical forms of totalitarianism. It does not find its expression in a demagogue or charismatic leader but in the faceless anonymity of the corporate state. Inverted totalitarianism pays out- ward fealty to the facade of electoral politics, the Constitution, civil liberties, freedom of the press, the independence of the judiciary, and the iconography, traditions and language of American patriotism, but it has effectively seized all of the mechanisms of power to render the citizen impotent. “Unlike the Nazis, who made life uncertain for the wealthy and privileged while providing social programs for the working class and poor, inverted totali- tarianism exploits the poor, reducing or weakening health programs and social services, regimenting mass education for an insecure workforce threatened by the importation of low- wage workers,” Wolin wrote.

  • 1 a Philosophical Analysis of STEM Education Dissertation Presented In
    A Philosophical Analysis of STEM Education Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jamie Eric Teeple Graduate Program in Educational Studies The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Bryan R. Warnick, Advisor Michael J. Glassman Bruce A. Kimball 1 Copyrighted by Jamie Eric Teeple 2018 2 Abstract In this dissertation, I critique STEM education as the educational apotheosis of neoliberal governmentality and reconceptualize it for an egalitarian democracy. Part and parcel of this analysis is considering Wendy Brown’s (2015) contention that the contemporary subject is interpolated by the prevailing norms of neoliberalism as a governing form of political rationality and thus expresses itself not as a political subject, or “homo politicus”, but as a self-investing and economized subject, or “homo oeconomicus”. I hypothesize that students as emergent homo oeconomicus seek out STEM education as the best means for survival within a technocratic marketplace. In this sense, STEM literacy is rendered the paradigmatic form of symbolic capital within the capitalist state. The thrust of my critical response to this milieu figures left-libertarian or social-anarchist thought as the diametrically opposed and thus apposite ideological rejoinder to the right- authoritarian status quo, not only for political activism writ large, but also for educational reform proposals and even the preparation of preservice teachers. In the end, my research is an attempt to explore how students’ narratives can assist critical educators with leveraging pedagogy into a potent means for cultivating within educational systems the social imaginaries and political subjects needed to eschew the aims of a right- authoritarian status quo and embrace the aims of an egalitarian, left-libertarian society-to- be.

The collapse of the communist systems signalled the exhaustion of the ideology of Enlightenment revolution, the view that radical social change could be achieved by the application of reason and the political will of enlightened elites.

ADRIAN PABST Abstract Post-democracy and cognate concepts suggest that the postwar period of democratisation has given way to a concentration of power in the hands of small groups that are unrepresen- tative and unaccountable, as exemplified by the rise of multinational corporations and their influence on democratic politics. This article goes further to argue that this does not fully capture the triple threat facing liberal democracy: first, the rise of a new oligarchy that strengthens executive power at the expense of parliament and people; second, the resurgence of populism and demagogy linked to a backlash against technocratic rule and procedural politics; third, the emergence of anarchy associated with the atomisation of society and a weakening of social ties and civic bonds.

Many of our ebooks are available for purchase from these online vendors:. Many of our ebooks are Democracy Incorporated: Managed Democracy and the Specter of Inverted Totalitarianism through library electronic resources including these platforms:. But what if the country is no longer a democracy at all? In Democracy IncorporatedSheldon Wolin considers the unthinkable: has America unwittingly morphed into a new and strange kind of political hybrid, one where economic and state powers are conjoined and virtually unbridled? At worst it is a place where corporate power no longer answers to state controls. It is sure to be a lightning rod for political debate for years to come. Democracy Incorporated is a devastating critique of the contemporary government of the Democracy Incorporated: Managed Democracy and the Specter of Inverted Totalitarianism States—including what has happened to it in recent years and what must be done if it is not to disappear into history along with its classic totalitarian predecessors. If democracy means more than occasional elections and protection of those rights that are compatible with economic and political elites' interests, Wolin's analysis of our democratic predicament is shocking, solid, and fundamentally correct. Waligorski, Choice. Wolin argues that the unquestioned faith in the virtues of free market capitalism has dramatically narrowed the range of policy options that are on the table when debate turns to resolving the US's ills.
