Isbn: 9798241700780 - the short-term ruler: why modern politics can’t see beyond itself (3 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Why does modern politics seem incapable of thinking beyond the present?The Short-Term Ruler is a political-philosophical analysis of how power has adapted to immediacy, approval, and crisis management-at the expense of long-term responsibility. Rather than focusing on ideology or individual leaders, the book examines a structural transformation common to democratic and non-democratic systems alike.Marius Comsa introduces the concept of the short-term ruler: a political figure who governs without duration, prioritizing survival, visibility, and reassurance while deferring consequences to the future. Through themes such as climate inaction, public debt, political spectacle, media saturation, and the erosion of trust, the book argues that contemporary governance increasingly consumes the future to stabilize the present.Rejecting slogans and partisan critique, The Short-Term Ruler offers a sober diagnosis of a civilization living on borrowed time. It is written for readers interested in political theory, sociology, democracy, and the moral consequences of power in the twenty-first century. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
