Abstract:
Since the overthrow of President Mursi in mid-2013, Egypt has witnessed an authoritarian rollback and shrinking spaces for civil society. Nationalist discourses have villified popular protest and channelled pressure for reform into a state-centric model of governance. Despite this hostile environment for social mobilization, protest has persisted. Contested Legitimacies explores this resilience of contentious politics through a multimethod approach that is attuned to the physical and discursive interactions among key players in Egypt’s protest arena.

This chapter presents and justifies an alternative to a democratic coalition for authorizing humanitarian military intervention: a precommitment regime whereby a democratic, legitimate government at serious risk for being violently overthrown or that is vulnerable to a resurgence of ethno-national violence could enter into a contract with a state or coalition of states that would pre-authorize intervention under certain circumstances. Such a precommitment contract would be revocable at will by that government or any legitimate successor government. The details of the precommitment contract are

Abstract This book analyses the impact of repression on civil society activism in the Middle East through the cases of Egypt and Jordan. It argues that authoritarian regimes’ repressive strategies towards civil society actors vary depending on an authoritarian regime’s recent historical experience with regime breakdown and/or continuity. Authoritarian regimes that go through breakdown and that transition from one autocratic rule to another increase repression against all civil society actors in an effort to pre-empt large-scale mobilization. This instils fear into civil society actors, who as

This chapter weighs the competing arguments over the wisdom of invading Iraq, and constructs the strongest possible case in favour of ‘regime change’, both with hindsight, and without.

This chapter demonstrates that the defences of the war rest on counterfactual historical claims that are implausible and less grave than what actually happened.

The New Kremlinology is the first in-depth examination of the development of regime personalisation in Russia.

After the collapse of Saddam’s regime in 2003, the most important issue in Iraq was the power-sharing arrangements among communities.

This shift, however, caused tensions between winners and losers, leading local bureaucrats to compete for resources in government budget, funding, and tax breaks.

Abstract:
This chapter offers a theoretical framework to account for patterns of political change and regionalized civil war between revolutionary and counter-revolutionary forces in Africa. The analytical structure crafted in this chapter does not account for Africa’s Great War but for the critical events that led up to it: the Rwandan genocide, the subsequent spillover into Zaire and the origins of the Pan-Africanist coalition that united to overthrow Mobutu. This chapter thus sets up the puzzle of Africa’s Great War: if the overthrow of Mobutu marked an “end of history moment” for Africa's neo-libera

Abstract:
This book demonstrates how cheetahs are adapted to arid savannahs like the southern Kalahari, and makes comparisons with other areas, especially the Serengeti. Topics dealt with are: demography and genetic status; feeding ecology, i.e. methods used for studying diet, diets of different demographic groups, individual diet specializations of females, prey selection, the impact of cheetah predation on prey populations, activity regimes and distances travelled per day, hunting behaviour, foraging success and energetics; interspecific competition; spatial ecology; reproductive success and the matin

Abstract:
This chapter surveys four overlapping contexts in which scholars have examined institutional interactions between U.S. courts and legislatures. First, some have sought to explain when and why judges exercise the power of judicial review by invalidating democratically enacted statutes. Second, “regime politics” scholars have examined the political foundations of judicial power over time, emphasizing that courts have developed, retained, and expanded the authority to alter policy outcomes only because (and to the extent that) governing legislative coalitions have supported these developments.

Abstract:
The reformed structures of composite monarchy would serve the Habsburg cause well in the struggle with the highly centralized French state. The Estates again managed the routine structures of ordinary taxation and the imposition of much extraordinary taxation; and they interposed their credit on behalf of the government. The War of the Second Coalition (1799–1801) would be another highpoint in the history of their financial mediation. The Estates helped preserve Habsburg authority during Napoleon’s occupation of Vienna and large swathes of the central lands on two occasions. That the governmen

Abstract:
This chapter introduces Coal River Mountain Watch (CRMW) as an organization and describes its formation, organization and growth over the first five to seven years of its existence. The outrage that greeted mountaintop removal coal mining in the late 1990s was by no means new to the Appalachian region. Time and again conditions of social relations and political and economic domination have given rise to reform movements. Author Stephen Fisher argues that for an enduring social movement to achieve substantive change in Appalachia, it must transcend single issues in ongoing, democratic, membersh
