Samuels is editor and a contributing author of Facets of Liberty: A Libertarian Primer. He serves as the Northern California vice chair of the Libertarian Party. He also co-chairs Monterey County Libertarians for Peace. Lawrence K. Samuels won honorable mention at the East of Eden Writers Conference in 2002 for his historical novel Ferret: The Reluctant King. He is a member of the California Writers Club and was the editor of Rampart Institute's quarterly magazine in the early 1980s. Samuels is a graduate of California State University at Fullerton (1976), where he minored in journalism. He was the editor-in-chief and a columnist for the campus newspaper at Fullerton College. He later wrote guest columns for the Orange County Register, the third largest newspaper in California. He managed the Future of Freedom Conference series for five years in Southern California, arranging speaking engagements for Timothy Leary, Ray Bradbury, Arthur Laffer, Karl Hess, Nathaniel Brandon, and dozens of other scholars and writers. Scope and Content of Collection Materials relating to Libertarianism and Libertarian organizations collected by Lawrence Samuels, who is the Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party of Monterey County, and Northern Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party in California. The Libertarian Party materials are comprised of printed materials documenting the activities the Libertarian Party in general and California Libertarian Party in particular. Documents include information about the bylaws, platform, principals, and issues of the Libertarian Party. Collected materials focus on election materials, Libertarian Party conventions, conferences, background materials and writings, correspondence, and a list of Free Enterprise Organizations around the world. Libertarian (and non Libertarian) publications include books and periodicals, pamphlets, newsletters, bulletins, journals, and magazines and newspapers. Although libertarianism is usually considered a conservative ideology, other conservatives often argue that government is needed to maintain social order and morality. They argue that excessive personal freedoms encourage dangerous and irresponsible behavior. Some of the most commonly debated issues are sexual norms, the drug war and public education. Most of the publications are for those interested in individual liberty and the philosophy behind politics. Books series includes libertarian books published by Lawrence Samuels and Robert Le Fevre – a Libertarian businessman, radio personality and primary theorist of autarchism (a political philosophy that upholds the principle of individual liberty, rejects compulsory government, and supports the elimination of government in favor of ruling yourself and no other). Arrangement The collection is organized into four series: Libertarian Party materials, Libertarian publications, Publications (non Libertarian), and Books.

  • Money Talks a Realist Constructivist Account of the Motives of 21St Century Plutocrats
    Graduate School Master of Science in Global Studies Major: Political Science Course: SIMV07 Term: Spring 2017 Supervisor: Alexander von Hagen-Jamar Money Talks A Realist Constructivist Account of the Motives of 21st Century Plutocrats Author: Pauliina Parviainen Abstract Plutocracy is a subject that has not traditionally attracted the interest of scholars in the disciplines of International Relations and Political Science. This is unfortunate, as the number and importance of affluent private individuals in global affairs has steadily increased in recent decades. Since most existing academic research on contemporary plutocrats focuses on philanthropists and other ‘benefactors’, this research examines what drives the behaviour of the so-called ‘malefactors’ – in this case, enormously wealthy citizens from the Persian Gulf who fund Islamist extremism and the Koch brothers who fight against climate change mitigation efforts and U.S. government regulations. The research is guided by a realist constructivist hypothesis according to which plutocrats use their material assets to advance ideological causes that in the long run further increase their economic wealth. Qualitative content analysis was performed on select texts that dealt with these actors’ presumable and stated motives. The analysis of the Koch brothers suggested that the logic behind their political adventures closely followed this hypothesis. However, the case of Gulf plutocrats only partially confirmed the hypothesis, as ideological and identity-related reasons prevailed over material considerations in these actors’ motives. Keywords: First Image, Koch, Plutocrat, Realist Constructivism, Terrorism Financing Words: 19 952 Contents: 1.

  • Conservative Movement
    Conservative Movement How did the conservative movement, routed in Barry Goldwater's catastrophic defeat to Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 presidential campaign, return to elect its champion Ronald Reagan just 16 years later? What at first looks like the political comeback of the century becomes, on closer examination, the product of a particular political moment that united an unstable coalition. In the liberal press, conservatives are often portrayed as a monolithic Right Wing. Close up, conservatives are as varied as their counterparts on the Left. Indeed, the circumstances of the late 1980s -- the demise of the Soviet Union, Reagan's legacy, the George H. W. Bush administration -- frayed the coalition of traditional conservatives, libertarian advocates of laissez-faire economics, and Cold War anti- communists first knitted together in the 1950s by William F. Buckley Jr. and the staff of the National Review. The Reagan coalition added to the conservative mix two rather incongruous groups: the religious right, primarily provincial white Protestant fundamentalists and evangelicals from the Sunbelt (defecting from the Democrats since the George Wallace's 1968 presidential campaign); and the neoconservatives, centered in New York and led predominantly by cosmopolitan, secular Jewish intellectuals. Goldwater's campaign in 1964 brought conservatives together for their first national electoral effort since Taft lost the Republican nomination to Eisenhower in 1952. Conservatives shared a distaste for Eisenhower's "modern Republicanism" that largely accepted the welfare state developed by Roosevelt's New Deal and Truman's Fair Deal. Undeterred by Goldwater's defeat, conservative activists regrouped and began developing institutions for the long haul.
