Machiavellis observation om ledarskapets svåra balansgång är lika relevant i vår tid, som den en gång var i 1500-talets Florens. Kinas framväxt, Rysslands attack mot Ukraina och den växande politiska och ekonomiska närvaron i den globala södern har aktualiserat frågan om vikten av kompetent ledarskap inom politiskt styre. Denna antologi utforskar utmaningarna för ledarskap och statskonst i en allt mer komplex värld och ställer frågan huruvida vi kan skapa politiska eliter som är kapabla att på ett säkert vis vägleda väst genom de många prövningar vi står inför. Genom att se till vårt förflutna såväl som till vår samtid undersöker världsledande forskare och skribenter hur ledarskapsidéer har utvecklats genom historien för att ge oss en större förståelse för statskonsten och för vilka färdigheter och organisationer som krävs för att driva små stater, stora imperier och allt däremellan. Boken finns även i engelsk utgåva.

Colonial Origins of Democracy and Dictatorship

Colonial Origins of Democracy and Dictatorship

Halvin toimitettuna 39,70 €

Why are some countries more democratic than others? For most non-European countries, elections began under Western colonial rule. However, existing research largely overlooks these democratic origins. Analyzing a global sample of colonies across four centuries, this book explains the emergence of colonial electoral institutions and their lasting impact. The degree of democracy in the metropole, the size of the white settler population, and pressure from non-Europeans all shaped the timing and form of colonial elections. White settlers and non-white middle classes educated in the colonizer's language usually gained early elections but settler minorities resisted subsequent franchise expansion. Authoritarian metropoles blocked elections entirely. Countries with lengthy exposure to competitive colonial institutions tended to consolidate democracies after independence. By contrast, countries with shorter electoral episodes usually shed democratic institutions and countries that were denied colonial elections consolidated stable dictatorships. Regime trajectories shaped by colonial rule persist to the present day.

Hur har idén om frihet utvecklats och förändrats under århundradena? Vad betyder frihet idag och vad behöver vi göra för att behålla de friheter som generationer män och kvinnor har kämpat, och till och med dött, för? Frihet är en grundförutsättning för att ett samhälle ska frodas och utvecklas. Dess historia är brokig: mänsklighetens eviga kamp mot ödet, våra förfäder som outtröttligt stred för att upprätta tanke- och religionsfrihet, demokratiska friheter i samhället i stort och kampen mot auktoritära regimer och tyranner världen över. I denna essäsamling utforskar ledande akademiker, författare och historiker vad frihet har betytt genom tiderna. De reflekterar över detta ständigt pågående drama och varför vi så villigt offrar oss för friheten när den hotas.

Why Machiavelli Matters Now

Why Machiavelli Matters Now

Alexander Lee; Stephen Bowd

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2026
sidottu
An exploration of Machiavelli’s poetry, love affairs, friendships, and his preoccupation with truth and perception. Who was Niccolo Machiavelli and why should we consider him relevant to the problems and vexations of the modern world? Stephen Bowd and Alexander Lee aim to ‘defamiliarize’ Machiavelli. Given that he is so well known, if only by name, and the subject of such grave misconceptions and prejudice, the authors set out to explain why he is not the ‘Machiavellian’ figure he is supposed to be, and that he was not just a political thinker. Examining his frequently bawdy poetry, his comedies and his love affairs and friendships, this book will lead modern readers on an exhilarating and thought-provoking journey through Machiavelli’s mind, bringing him to life and illuminating why such a seminal thinker should be of urgent interest to us today.

Croatian Nationalist Groups in Australia 1949-1972

Croatian Nationalist Groups in Australia 1949-1972

Alexander Lee

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
sidottu
Between 1949 and 1972, Australia became the largest centre of violent Croatian nationalism outside of Europe. This book reveals how radical Croatian groups—responsible for bombings, armed incursions, and political violence across two continents—were allowed to proliferate thanks to the disinterest and tacit support of Australia's governing Liberal Party. Of all the Eastern and Southern European migrants who arrived in post-war Australia, only Croatians formed groups that ASIO considered an actual and continuing danger to domestic security. These communities brought with them a potent blend of nationalist and anti-communist ideology that the Liberal government encouraged, viewing it as electorally useful in the Cold War context. The relationship between the Liberal Party and violent Croatian nationalism became one of the most bitter partisan controversies of the era and had real effects on Australian electoral politics, especially the seminal 1972 election. Drawing primarily on archival research, this book demystifies this controversial period. It examines the real relationship between the Liberal Party, the Labor Party, and violent Croatian nationalist groups. Rather than defending or condemning the actions of the 1949-1972 Liberal-led government or Croatian extremist groups, it provides the first comprehensive historical account of how ideology, partisan politics, and Cold War anxieties allowed this form of violent extremism to take root in Australia. This book will be of interest to researchers in the history of terrorism, nationalism, Australian politics, Croatian politics and the politics of exile and emigres.

Democracy and Impunity

Democracy and Impunity

Alexander Lee

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2025
nidottu
India faces a crisis of criminal impunity. Crimes against the poor and marginalized go unprosecuted, while crimes committed by the rich and influential are ignored in return for bribes or favors. Those who have enough money to pay the police, or enough power to influence them, can quite literally get away with murder. In Democracy and Impunity, Alexander Lee examines the politics of law enforcement in India and why the police perform so poorly across multiple dimensions--a level of performance that is exceptional even for similar developing democracies. Lee shows that high levels of impunity in India are the result of two interdependent policy choices--the Indian police are severely under-resourced and have very low autonomy in relation to senior members of the political elite. While Lee focuses on India, his account sheds light on how nations can find themselves in the "policy trap" of low police resources and low police autonomy, and why they find it so hard to get out of this equilibrium. He also explains why some politicians find it in their interests to have a weak and tightly controlled police force, why many police officers work with these politicians, and discusses specific reforms that could alleviate the impunity crisis.

The Cartel System of States

The Cartel System of States

Avidit Acharya; Alexander Lee

OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INC
2023

The people who live in border towns often have closer relations with people across their immediate borders than with people in the same country as them. Despite how intertwined these border communities often are, neither community can access the governmental institutions of the nation on the other side. Why are the citizens of neighboring regions that lie across an international border often subject to very different governance systems? More broadly, why can't public services be bought piecemeal, on an a-la-carte basis, with governments competing to provide higher quality services at the lowest cost in a marketplace for government services? These questions lie at the heart of modern International Relations. In The Cartel System of States, Avidit Acharya and Alexander Lee provide a powerful and field-shaping theory to address a fundamental issue in world politics: the character of the territorial nation-state. They contend that the modern territorial state system works as an economic cartel in which states have local, bounded monopolies in governing their citizens. States refuse to violate each other's monopolies, even when they could do so easily. Acharya and Lee examine what makes this system stable, when and how it emerged, how it spread, how it has been challenged, and what led it to be so resilient over time. Drawing from the centuries long process of modern state formation, The Cartel System of States explains both how the present system of territorial states--by no means a foregone conclusion in retrospect--took over the world and how it might change in the future.

Porträttserien från Engelsberg Ideas höjer upp och ger plats åt de sidofigurer som har satt historiens hjul i rullning. Här finns bland andra Churchills halvt bortglämda högra hand, en av La Belle Epoques parisiska ledstjärnor som försvunnit i historiens dunkel och en tidig rymdpionjär som är nästan helt okänd utanför sitt hemland Ryssland. Historien tillhör inte bara de allmänt kända, utan också de andra: de män och kvinnor som plötsligt fann sig framdrivande i en flod av händelser eller som gjorde unika inlägg i sin tids stora debatter. Genom den här serien visar oss ledande skribenter hur individer har format den värld vi känner till, och undersöker deras framgångar lika mycket som deras misslyckanden. Den engelsk­tyska romanförfattaren W. G. Sebald skrev vid det senaste sekelskiftet "allting faller ständigt i glömska med varje utsläckt liv". I Porträtt ur historien hittar vi de dunkla spåren av spännande liv som levts och rekonstruerar dem omsorgsfullt för att de återigen ska få glänsa, starkt och levande, här och nu.

Machiavelli

Machiavelli

Alexander Lee

Picador
2021
pokkari
'A wonderfully assured and utterly riveting biography that captures not only the much-maligned Machiavelli, but also the spirit of his time and place. A monumental achievement.' – Jessie Childs, author of God's Traitors.‘A notorious fiend’, ‘generally odious’, ‘he seems hideous, and so he is.’ Thanks to the invidious reputation of his most famous work, The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli exerts a unique hold over the popular imagination. But was Machiavelli as sinister as he is often thought to be? Might he not have been an infinitely more sympathetic figure, prone to political missteps, professional failures and personal dramas? Alexander Lee reveals the man behind the myth, following him from cradle to grave, from his father’s penury and the abuse he suffered at a teacher’s hands, to his marriage and his many affairs (with both men and women), to his political triumphs and, ultimately, his fall from grace and exile. In doing so, Lee uncovers hitherto unobserved connections between Machiavelli’s life and thought. He also reveals the world through which Machiavelli moved: from the great halls of Renaissance Florence to the court of the Borgia pope, Alexander VI, from the dungeons of the Stinche prison to the Rucellai gardens, where he would begin work on some of his last great works. As much a portrait of an age as of a uniquely engaging man, Lee’s gripping and definitive biography takes the reader into Machiavelli’s world – and his work – more completely than ever before.

From Hierarchy to Ethnicity

From Hierarchy to Ethnicity

Alexander Lee

Cambridge University Press
2020
sidottu
Caste and ethnicity have been crucial in shaping the discourse around identity politics in modern South Asia. This book critically discusses two important trends in twentieth-century Indian politics - the rise in the political salience of caste identities, and a shift in the way caste identity was conceptualized; from a hierarchical system based on the adoption of specific behaviours to a system based on bounded and autonomous groups not dissimilar to ethnic groups as conceived of in other parts of the world. It traces these changes to the evolving incentives of the elites of poorer ethnic groups, which are themselves a product of the gradual rise of literacy in colonial South Asia, and the democratization of the political system. This theory challenges accounts that emphasize the role of the colonial state in the evolution of caste. It presents a wide range of novel historical evidence to support these claims, both qualitative and quantitative, and covering both the colonial and post-independence periods.
