Many are aware that gerrymandering exists and suspect it plays a role in our elections, but its history goes far deeper, and its impacts are far greater, than most realize. In his latest book, Brent Tarter focuses on Virginia's long history of gerrymandering to uncover its immense influence on the state's politics and to provide perspective on how the practice impacts politics nationally. Offering the first in-depth historical study of gerrymanders in Virginia, Tarter exposes practices going back to colonial times and explains how they protected land owners' and slave owners' interests. The consequences of redistricting and reapportionment in modern Virginia--in effect giving a partisan minority the upper hand in all public policy decisions--become much clearer in light of this history. Where the discussion of gerrymandering has typically emphasized political parties' control of the U.S. Congress, Tarter focuses on the state legislatures that determine congressional district lines and, in most states, even those of their own districts. On the eve of the 2021 session of the General Assembly, which will redraw district lines for the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates, as well as for the U.S. House of Representatives, Tarter's book provides an eye-opening investigation of gerrymandering and its pervasive effect on our local, state, and national politics and government. -- Dust jacket flap.

"This book provides a detailed analysis of South Africa's actions on the UN Human Rights Council, examining the country's positions on civil and political rights, economic rights and development, social groups whose rights are frequently violated as well as abuses in specific countries. The most detailed and comprehensive study of any country's record on the UN Human Rights Council to date, it demonstrates that despite occasional support for human rights, South Africa's overall record ranged from opposing to failing to support human rights. This is compounded by an anti-Western or 'anti-imperial' edge to South Africa's positions on the HRC. Using South Africa as a study case of a liberal country consistently behaving illiberally, it therefore challenges the widespread belief in international relations theory, typically found in liberal and constructivist thought, that there is an alignment of domestic political society and foreign policy values. Addressing ongoing debates since the presidency of Nelson Mandela about the place of human rights in South Africa's foreign policy, South Africa and the UN Human Rights Council will be useful to students and scholars of international relations, human rights, international law and African politics"-- Provided by publisher.

"Si la jeunesse a joué un rôle important dans la construction des empires coloniaux, elle est également un enjeu essentiel des décolonisations et de leurs suites. Au second XXe siècle, les processus d'émancipation des peuples colonisés posent en effet avec force la question sociale et politique de l'enfance et de la jeunesse en contexte colonial et postcolonial, dans les pays devenus indépendants comme chez les anciens colonisateurs. L'intérêt de cet ouvrage est de mettre en avant les biopolitiques spécifiques aux enfants et aux jeunes qui ont émergé dans un ensemble complexe de questions politiques et diplomatiques, économiques et sociales, démographiques et populationnistes, philosophiques et religieuses. À l'instar des Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, il s'agit d'interroger les cultures postcoloniales et les articulations entre décolonisation et colonisation, notamment les prolongements de celle-ci dans celle-là. Pendant la décolonisation des empires français et belge et la construction de nouveaux États, les enfants et les jeunes ont été sujets de politiques voulues ou soutenues par des biopouvoirs et mises en oeuvre par des protagonistes divers : armées, associations, humanitaires, colonialistes, nouvelles élites, militants, simples citoyens. Les archives publiques qui reflètent les différentes politiques menées ainsi que les sources écrites et orales d'associations ou d'autres organisations permettent de cerner les rôles d'acteurs non-étatiques. Les paroles, plus ou moins critiques, de celles et de ceux qui sont les premières personnes concernées par cette histoire - c'est-à-dire les enfants et les jeunes eux-mêmes - sont bien entendu également mobilisées."--Page 4 of cover.

This book moves scholarly debates beyond the old question of whether or not international institutions matter in order to examine how they matter, even in a world of power politics. Power politics and international institutions are often studied as two separate domains, but this is in need of rethinking because today most states strategically use institutions to further their interests. Anders Wivel, T.V. Paul, and the international group of contributing authors update our understanding of how institutions are viewed among the major theoretical paradigms in international relations, and they seek to bridge the divides. Empirical chapters examine specific institutions in practice, including the United Nations, International Atomic Energy Agency, and the European Union. The book also points the way to future research. International Institutions and Power Politics provides insights for both international relations theory and practical matters of foreign affairs, and it will be essential reading for all international relations scholars and advanced students.

"In the 1790s, the Jeffersonian Republicans were the party of 'no.' They opposed attempts to expand the government's role in society. They criticized the Washington Administration's national bank and railed against a standing army. They bemoaned the spirit of the Federalist regime, which, they claimed, favored the wealthy over ordinary Americans. Thus Thomas Jefferson's conviction that his election as President in 1801 was a 'revolution.' With Jeffersonians in power, the nation could be set right. The government could be stripped down in size and strength. But there was a paradox at the heart of this image. Maintaining the security, stability, and prosperity of the republic required aggressive statecraft--to open trade channels and create freer markets and to expand westward onto land claimed by Native Americans and European empires. Jeffersonians deployed state power to reduce taxes and the debt, enforcing a shipping embargo, going to war, and ultimately supporting a national bank during Madison's administration. This book explores this paradox to understand the logic and logistics of Jeffersonian statecraft. 'Jeffersonians in Power' aims at a middle ground. Focusing on statecraft in action, it explores the meeting place of ideology and policy as Jeffersonians shifted from being an oppositional party to exercising power as the ruling coalition"-- Provided by publisher.
