Описание: Focusing on one of the last untold chapters in the history of human flight, Dictatorship of the Air is the first book to explain the true story behind twentieth-century Russia`s quest for aviation prominence. Based on nearly a decade of scholarly research, but written with general readers in mind, this is the only account to answer the question `What is `Russian` about Russian aviation?`

Описание: This book brings together the work of historians and political theorists to examine the complex relationship among nineteenth-century democracy, nationalism, and authoritarianism. Political thinkers were faced with a battery of new terms - `Bonapartism`, `Caesarism`, and `Imperialism` among them - with which to make sense of their era.

Описание: Although much of the world still lives under dictatorship, the behaviour of these regimes and of their leaders often appears irrational and mysterious. This book uses rational choice theory to understand dictators: How do `successful` dictatorships stay in power? What determines the repressiveness of a regime? How do their economies work?

Описание: After twenty-one years of military dictatorship, Brazil returned to democratic rule in 1985. Yet over the following two decades, the country largely ignored human rights crimes committed by state security agents, crimes that included the torture, murder, and disappearance of those who opposed the authoritarian regime.
In clear and engaging prose, Rebecca J. Atencio tells the story of the slow turn to memory in Brazil, a turn that has taken place in both politics and in cultural production. She shows how testimonial literature, telenovelas, literary novels, theatrical plays, and memorials have interacted with policies adopted by the Brazilian state, often in unexpected ways. Under the right circumstances, official and cultural forms of reckoning combine in Brazil to produce what Atencio calls cycles of cultural memory. Novel meanings of the past are forged, and new cultural works are inspired, thus creating the possibility for further turns in the cycle.
The first book to analyze Brazil's reckoning with dictatorship through both institutional and cultural means, Memory's Turn is a rich, informative exploration of the interplay between these different modes of memory reconstruction.

Описание:

The Dictatorship of Sex explores the attempts to define and control sexual behavior in the years following the Russian Revolution. It is the first book to examine Soviet "sexual enlightenment," a program of popular health and lifestyle advice intended to establish a model of sexual conduct for the men and women who would build socialism.

Leftist social theorists and political activists had long envisioned an egalitarian utopia, and after 1917, the medical profession took the leading role in solving the sex question (while at the same time carving out a niche for itself among postrevolutionary social institutions). Frances Bernstein reveals the tension between the doctors' advocacy for relatively liberal social policy and the generally proscriptive nature of their advice, as well as their lack of interest in questions of personal pleasure, fulfillment, and sexual expression. While supporting the goals of the Soviet state, the enlighteners appealed to "irrefutable" biological truths that ultimately supported a very traditional gender regime.

The Dictatorship of Sex offers a unique lens through which to contemplate a central conundrum of Russian history: the relationship between the supposedly "liberated" 1920s and "repressive" 1930s. Although most of the proponents of sexual enlightenment in the 1920s would suffer greatly during Stalin's purges, their writings facilitated the Stalinist approach to sexuality and the family. Bernstein's book will interest historians of Russia, gender, sexuality, and medicine, as well as anyone curious about social and ideological experiments in a revolutionary culture.

Описание: This book examines the way communist East Germany worked from the point of view of its experts in law, economics, philosophy and cybernetics. The state-socialist countries aimed for a post-capitalist modernization, which they hoped to achieve by way of dictatorship. This failed combination of dictatorship and social transformation contains lessons that remain relevant today.

Описание: This book is the first to use modern social science methodology systematically to explain why some countries are democracies while others are not. Why does democracy sometimes persist and consolidate while other times it collapses? The treatment shows that whether or not a society becomes democratic depends on several factors.

Описание: This is the first attempt to systematically study the nature of the political leadership system under Stalin. It draws on a wealth of new archival material to highlight Stalin`s relations with his co-leaders and wider elite groups, and offers different perspectives on the nature and degree of Stalin`s system of personal power.
