Selling Politics

Selling Politics investigates the secret world of political consultants, the men who create an image of their clients for the public eye. Author Laurence Rees argues that the roots of political propaganda lie in Nazi Germany with Hitler’s master of visual propaganda, Dr Josef Goebbels. Goebbels’ passion for cinema led him to discover the ‘Great Truth’, namely that in order for film propaganda to persuade it must entertain rather than inform. Over the past thirty years the use of film and television propaganda had flourished, particularly in the United States where a candidate’s ability to woo voters on the screen is fundamental to his success in a presidential election. Rees shows how television manipulates its viewers into making judgements based purely on the visual image and explains why propaganda works best when it engages the emotions rather than the intellect. We see clearly how these insidious techniques have also played a key role in contemporary British politics as consultants have followed the example of their American counterparts. Written in1992, a year that encompassed a general election in Britain and a presidential election in the United States, Selling Politics is a book for our times. It will fascinate readers who care about the practice of politics and the way democracy functions as the 21st century approaches.

Neighborhood Government

At a time of intense urban civil unrest in the United States, this classic text by Milton Kotler was the first to forcefully demonstrate how governance on the neighborhood level could allow Americans to regain liberty and the right to govern their own lives. Kotler's original project showed how towns once independent but then later annexed by adjacent cities became exploited by centralized downtown power. As relevant today as it was when originally published in 1969, Neighborhood Government continues to speak to American cities whose faces have been radically changed by immigration, urban sprawl, and communities fractured by pervasive economic and racial inequality. With a new critical foreword by Terry L. Cooper that places the text within contemporary debates and a new foreword and afterword from the author, Neighborhood Government continues to be a vital work for anyone interested in the economic, social, and political health of American cities and the continuing struggle to increase community investment and control."

Demokrasi Muka Dua

"DEMOKRATISASI di Indonesia pasca-Reformasi 1998 telah memperoleh pengakuan dan pujian dari dunia internasional. Indonesia pun disanjung-sanjung sebagai negara demokratis terbesar ketiga di dunia. Kendati demikian, kehidupan demokrasi saat ini masih diwarnai berbagai masalah akut seperti korupsi, politik dinasti, atau politik kartel. Semua ini merebak luas bersamaan dengan desentralisasi dan otonomi daerah. Melalui analisis mendalam atas seluk-beluk pemilihan kepala daerah langsung (Pilkada) yang telah berlangsung sejak 2005, buku ini memaparkan dua perspektif—neo-institusionalis yang optimistik dan relasi kuasa yang kurang optimistik—dalam memahampersoalan tersebut. Penulis juga memberi sudut pandang yang lebih komprehensif untuk menjembatani kedua perspektif tersebut. Buku ini merupakan literatur yang baik bagi pembaca yang ingin memahami demokrasi Indonesia. *** “Buku ini merupakan usaha untuk menelaah ulang demokrasi di Indonesia, khususnya dari sudut pandang pertarungan politik di sekitar pemilihan kepala daerah (Pilkada). Penulis berupaya memberikan perspektif yang dibentuk lewat eksplorasi berbagai teori ilmu sosial mengenai kekuasaan dan konflik sosial. Dalam hal ini, ia memberikan sumbangan yang agak ‘beda’ dari sebagian penulis yang cenderung hanya menawarkan deskripsi tentang seluk-beluk pertarungan Pilkada. Sebagai upaya memadukan teori sosial dengan analisis empiris, buku ini patut didukung.” -- Vedi Hadiz, Professor of Asian Studies, Asia Institute, The University of Melbourne"

Accounting in Emerging Economies

Accounting research in emerging economies has grown over the last two decades. This is partly due to the increasing realisation that accounting has a central role to play in the development of these economies. Accounting can contribute to enterprise development, governance improvements and promote foreign direct investment. In addition, the increasing integration of the world economy has led to a significant interest in understanding accounting systems in emerging economies. The articles in the volume contribute immensely to our understanding of how accounting functions in emerging economies. The papers have examined various issues including the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), internet financial reporting, the impacts of ownership concentration and board characteristics on firm performance, governance practices of firms, corporate social responsibility and environmental accounting, related party transactions, budgetary practices, activity-based costing, and females and the accounting profession. The papers have provided wide ranging empirical and theoretical issues that will have policy implications and also generate future academic debates. Overall, the volume advances debate on the role of accounting in different forms of organisations in emerging economies. We believe the audience will find the papers interesting and insightful in terms of theoretical development, practices, policy implications and future research directions.

Supernormal Growth

' Supernormal Growth confirms the supernormal achievements of China by providing founding statistics that China, during the past 35 years, experienced a synchronous high-speed growth of investment, consumption, labor productivity with low volatility. First of its kind, Jeffrey Shi analyzes the unique structure and operating mechanism of China''s existing market economy from a theoretic perspective, and attributes China''s supernormal growth to supernormal investment aroused by China''s three dimensional (3-D) market system which consists of competitive enterprises, competitive local governments and central government and to supernormal purchasing power created by American''s finance-driving strategy. In examining multiple challenges of China one by one, the Shi proposes a whole conception of national strategic asset investment system which does not interfere with the operation of normal market, but provides sustainable extra force to extend China''s supernormal growth, and also an innovative idea of relieving polarization of the poor and the rich through a "1.5th income distribution" system, so as to provide a panoramic view of China''s supernormal growth strategy in the next 30 years. Shi is not only a respected scholar, but also a successful businessman, giving Supernormal Growth a more valuable reference in answering many questions about China''s development no matter in the past or future. Contents:China''s Unconventional Economic GrowthChina''s Special Market Economy and Supernormal InvestmentThe US Federal Reserve and International Supernormal Purchasing PowerA New Historical Phase for China''s Economic GrowthA New Phase for Supernormal Growth Readership: Undergraduates and policy makers interested in economic development and want to refer to China''s economic history and future from 1949 to 2049.

Rekruten des Terrors

Der islamistische Terror kommt auch nach Deutschland. Oder ist er schon längst da? Wie groß ist die Gefahr eines Anschlags in unseren Großstädten wirklich? Wieso reisen junge Deutsche, wie der Solinger Robert Baum, nach Syrien um sich islamistischen Terrororganisationen anzuschließen, um zu morden und im „Namen Allahs“ einen heiligen Krieg gegen die Ungläubigen zu führen? Welche Anschläge auf deutschem Boden gab es schon, welche konnten in letzter Sekunde vereitelt werden? Wie groß ist die Gefahr durch die sogenannten „Rückkehrer“? Das Buch „Rekruten des Terrors“ versucht auf diese Fragen Antworten zu finden und zeigt das perfide System der Radikalisierung durch Hassprediger in deutschen Fußgängerzonen und der Rekrutierung in Hinterhof-Moscheen in der ganzen Republik. Anhand von Einzelschicksalen, wie das des deutschen Terroristen Robert Baum, der mit einem Selbstmordattentat dutzende Menschen in Syrien in den Tod riss, oder der Geschichte des erfolglosen Rappers Denis Cuspert aus Berlin, der in Propagandavideos Menschen enthauptet, erklärt das Buch, wie aus Jugendlichen Mörder werden, die in das „Abenteuer Dschihad“ ziehen.
