Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Pandemic Authoritarianism, an insightful and unyielding academic expose, analyses how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) used the coronavirus pandemic as an instrument of geopolitical warfare to censor information, silence critics, and reshape the balance of power in the world through censorship, propaganda, surveillance, and strategic diplomacy. The book explores the causes of COVID-19, the authoritarian cover-up by the CCP, and the international cooperation that enabled the crisis to worsen into a global disaster using forensic analysis and critical political insight. Drawing on political theory, including Lukes' dimensions of power, Gramsci's cultural hegemony, Chomsky's propaganda model, and Foucault's biopolitics - This work illustrates the way the pandemic was being utilized as an instrument of warfare to further consolidate dictatorships, influence global organizations, and weaken the foundation of democracy. It exposes the terrifying intersection of political opportunism and public health emergencies by challenging the CCP's crisis nationalism, digital authoritarianism, vaccine diplomacy, and economic coercion. This book is not merely a study of a virus; it is a daring challenge to the global rise of autocratic power concealed behind humanitarian rhetoric, with more than 20 carefully argued chapters and extensively referenced sources. Scholars, decision-makers, journalists, and readers interested in freedom, openness, and the future of global order should all read this book. This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In a world where curiosity clashes with fears, tensions and surprises, two civilisations stand on the brink of transformations and escalations.

With warriors and leaders watching closely, the final battle is not one of weapons, but of understanding. Will they embrace the truth that lies beneath the surface, or will their past enmities dictate their fate Discover the journey of 'The Awakening of UTRUWN,' where the quest for knowledge ignites a struggle for survival.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Drawing on political theory, critical security studies, global political economy and technological risk scholarship, The Replication State of China situates authoritarian replication within wider debates on sovereignty, regime legitimacy and the reconfiguration of global order. The study interrogates the ethical and civilisational consequences of systemic replication - not merely as an industrial or technological practice, but as an epistemic instrument of governance and a strategy of authoritarian resilience - reshaping international norms, weaponising interdependence, eroding institutional trust and recalibrating global security architectures. Readers encounter a theoretically grounded, empirically informed and analytically rigorous monograph that reconceptualises authoritarian power as a replicative system - adaptive, co-optative and repressive - capable of transnational projection, digital consolidation and structural entrenchment across the twenty-first century.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Tibet on Blaze presents the most comprehensive historical and analytical examination of the contemporary Tibetan self-immolation movement to date. Drawing upon eyewitness testimonies, official statements, independent reports, academic research, international human rights documentation, and historical sources, this volume documents the lives, final messages, motivations, and political circumstances surrounding around 160 Tibetan men and women who have undertaken the ultimate act of non-violent protest since 2009.Moving beyond media headlines, the book situates each self-immolation within the broader historical and geopolitical context of Tibet under the People's Republic of China. It examines the evolution of Chinese state policies towards Tibet, including political repression, religious restrictions, surveillance, censorship, cultural assimilation, language policies, and the tightening control exercised over Tibetan Buddhist institutions. Through detailed historical analysis, it explores how these developments have shaped one of the most extraordinary protest movements of the twenty-first century.Rather than presenting self-immolation merely as an isolated personal tragedy, the book analyses it as a complex political, ethical, cultural, religious, and psychological phenomenon. It explores the philosophical foundations of self-sacrifice in Tibetan Buddhism, the role of collective identity, the influence of non-violent resistance, and the moral dilemmas confronting individuals living under prolonged authoritarian rule. The work also considers competing international interpretations of these protests, examining legal, human rights, diplomatic, and media perspectives while assessing the responses of governments, international organisations, scholars, and civil society.A distinctive feature of this volume is its extensive collection of biographical profiles, preserving the names, backgrounds, final statements, slogans, and circumstances of those who sacrificed their lives or attempted to do so. By documenting these individual stories within their historical setting, the book provides an enduring record of one of the largest sustained movements of self-immolation in modern history.Written from an interdisciplinary perspective that integrates history, international relations, political science, human rights, religious studies, and media analysis, Tibet on Blaze challenges readers to examine the relationship between state power, national identity, cultural survival, freedom of belief, and the universal aspiration for human dignity. It raises profound questions about the limits of peaceful resistance, the responsibilities of the international community, and the enduring struggle of the Tibetan people to preserve their religion, language, culture, and national identity.This work is intended for scholars, students, policymakers, journalists, human rights advocates, legal practitioners, libraries, and general readers seeking a rigorous, evidence-based, and historically grounded understanding of one of the most significant yet least understood forms of political protest in the contemporary world.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Ideologies Unmasked: Comparative Critique - Political Systems offers a sharp, uncompromising analysis of how modern political systems truly function beneath their public narratives. Moving beyond slogans and ideological claims, the book exposes how power is structured, exercised, and justified across authoritarian, hybrid, and democratic regimes-revealing the real consequences for freedom, dignity, and human development.Drawing on political theory, global data, and comparative case studies, it dissects mechanisms of control-surveillance, repression, economic restriction, and narrative manipulation-while also critically examining the internal tensions, inequalities, and limitations within democratic systems.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - THE MONSTER PURGES OF THE 2OTH CENTURY offers a critical, scholarly examination of the ideological foundations of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from Mao Zedong's rise to the present. This book challenges the commonly accepted notion that China's socialist model is uniquely adapted to its internal conditions. Through careful historical analysis, it demonstrates how Maoist China systematically mimicked Stalinist totalitarianism, enacting state-sanctioned repression, forced collectivisation, violent class conflict, and mass political purges.The book makes the case that the so-called 'Chinese Characteristics' of socialism are merely a political front that hides the CCP's continued reliance on authoritarianism in the Soviet style, drawing on a wealth of primary sources and scholarly research. It also examines the harsh effects of these policies on intellectuals, dissenters, and various nationals who were subjected to colonization and occupation, especially in Tibet, East Turkistan, and South Mongolia.This work provides a compelling and critical understanding of how historical legacies of totalitarianism continue to influence China's communist political system today by charting the propagation of Stalinist ideals through succeeding Chinese leaders. For readers, students, and academics interested in Chinese politics, authoritarian governments, and the historical repercussions of ideological extremism, it is a must and worth reading the whole book.…
