Political Corruption and Political Geography
First published 1997, this volume examines the way in which political corruption remains neglected as a matter of scholarly enquiry and research.There is still a powerful and traditional taboo which is quite out of the step with the topic’s real world significance and the increasing attention it receives from serious sections of the media.The book aims by systematic exposition and case study to break down that taboo and to demonstrate the topic’s importance within a framework provided by the discipline of geography.The novelty of the book is then that it considers a formerly unconsidered factor - corruption - as part of the world’s geography, as both part of the geographical context in which human activity takes place and as a spatially variable condition explicable at least in part in terms of other geographies.The conclusion is that much geographical scholarship ignores this factor at the risk of its credibility.

Political Political Theory : Essays on Institutions
Political institutions are the main subject of political theory—or they ought to be.Making the case with his trademark forcefulness and intellectual aplomb, Jeremy Waldron argues in favor of reorienting the theory of politics toward the institutions and institutional principles of modern democracy and the mechanisms through which democratic ideals are achieved. Too many political theorists are preoccupied with analyzing the nature and importance of justice, liberty, and equality, at the cost of ignoring the governmental institutions needed to achieve them.By contrast, political scientists have kept institutions in view, but they deploy a meager set of value-conceptions in evaluating them.Reflecting on an array of issues about constitutional structure, Waldron considers the uses and abuses of diverse institutions and traditions, from separation of powers and bicameralism to judicial review of legislation, the principle of loyal opposition, the nature of representation, political accountability, and the rule of law.He refines his well-known argument about the undemocratic character of judicial review, providing a capacious perspective on the proper role of courts in a constitutional democracy, and he offers an illuminating critique of the contrasting political philosophies of Hannah Arendt and Isaiah Berlin. Even if political theorists remain fixated on expounding the philosophical foundations of democracy, they need to complement their work with a firmer grasp of the structures through which democracy is realized.This is what political political theory means: theory addressing itself to the way political institutions frame political disagreements and orchestrate resolutions to our disputes over social ideals.

Is it legitimate to use violence to achieve political goals?
Using violence to achieve political goals is a highly controversial and complex issue. While some argue that violence can be justified in certain circumstances, such as in self-defense or in the fight against oppression, others believe that non-violent means should always be pursued. Ultimately, the legitimacy of using violence to achieve political goals depends on the specific context, the severity of the situation, and the potential consequences of such actions. It is important to carefully consider all possible alternatives and consequences before resorting to violence.

What is the difference between honest and sincere?
Honesty refers to telling the truth and being straightforward in one's communication, while sincerity refers to being genuine and heartfelt in one's actions and expressions. In other words, honesty is about being truthful and transparent, while sincerity is about being genuine and authentic. One can be honest without being sincere, and vice versa. For example, someone can be honest about their feelings but not sincerely express them, or someone can sincerely express themselves but not be completely honest.

Understanding Adolescents’ Political Agency : Examining How Political Interest Shapes Political Development
This ground-breaking volume shows that young people largely shape their own political development, and that to understand young people's political development, we must consider their political agency. Håkan Stattin explores the findings of an extensive longitudinal study of the political socialization of young people in Sweden from the ages of 13 to 28, which shows that, contrary to popular belief, it is not parents, peers, teachers or other key adults who are the primary agents in shaping young people's political development; it is their own self-directed political interest.Given that political interest is both an input and an output, the book examines how political interest affects young people's political interactions with their parents, and why young people and their parents perceive these interactions differently.It covers key issues such as the impact of political-interest-triggering events and civil unrest, the role of school and peers, parental involvement and the path from political interest to future political and civic engagement. Launching a new field of research internationally, this volume is essential reading for researchers, students, educators, and policy developers interested in young people's political and civic attitudes, engagement, communication, core values and the emergence of intrinsic political sophistication.

Political Jouissance
When we oppose or disagree with something important, do we ever really do it dispassionately?Isn’t setting the world to rights or condemning a political opponent always done with a hint of relish, or at least enthusiasm?This book’s challenging essays explore the modes in which that transgressive pleasure of political ‘jouissance’ operates. Rather than delegitimizing or depoliticising, the tacit enjoyment of outrage can in fact facilitate different forms of engagement.The tendency for groups to be bonded by a common enemy, for example, brings with it a protection from censure or persecution, and a way of alleviating guilt.In this collection, the authors seek out jouissance in the battle against patriarchy, in social revolts, in the age of mechanical surveillance, in the necrosociety of neoliberalism, or the proliferation of conspiracy theories.Drawing on Lacan’s insistence that jouissance is intrinsically political by its nature, we can understand how readily psychoanalytic ideas can be put to use across the geopolitical spectrum.

Do political rights want security and political left want freedom?
It is not accurate to say that political rights want security and political left want freedom as a general rule. Both political ideologies value both security and freedom, but may prioritize them differently. Political rights often emphasize the importance of security and stability in society, while the political left may prioritize individual freedoms and social justice. Ultimately, both sides seek a balance between security and freedom in order to create a just and prosperous society.
