The Demanding Citizen: How citizens can stop longing for visionary, committed, and ethical government leaders to emerge and instead take action ourselves by Kenji Muray
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BN28QS8J | 105 pages | EPUB | 3.45 Mb
Low turnout in elections can reach 50% in many countries, and voters' apathy and disillusionment toward politics are understandable. Politicians in several nations have proven to be inept, mediocre, and corrupt, just looking for their enrichment and power. However, should citizens continue being bystanders hoping that outstanding leaders will appear and save our states? Citizens are creative, talented, and virtuous and can be the catalysts of a better world. We just need to take action.

Citizen Hollywood: How the Collaboration between LA and DC Revolutionized American Politics By Timothy Stanley
2014 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 1250032490 | PDF | 27 MB
To most Americans, Hollywood activism consists of self-obsessed movie stars promoting their pet causes, whether defending marijuana legalization or Second Amendment rights. There's some truth in that stereotype, and in this book you'll find the close personal friends of Fidel Castro, the wannabe cowboys, and the ever-ubiquitous Barbra Streisand. But Citizen Hollywood makes a far more serious case--that Hollywood's influence in Washington runs deeper and affects the country's government more than most of us imagine.Celebrity activism exerts a subtle power over the American political process, and that pressure is nothing new. Through money, networking, and image making, the movie industry has shaped the way that politics works for nearly a century. It has helped to forge a culture that is obsessed with celebrity and spectacle.In return, politicians have become part of the fabric of Hollywood society and cater to the wishes of their new-found friends and fund-raisers.Using original archival research and exclusive interviews with stars, directors, producers, and politicians from both parties, Timothy Stanley's Citizen Hollywood shows that the only way to understand the image-obsessed, volatile politics of modern America is to understand the hidden history of Hollywood's influence on Washington.

Giovanni Navarria, "The Networked Citizen: Power, Politics, and Resistance in the Internet Age"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 9811332924 | PDF | pages: 313 | 5.1 mb
This book investigates the changing meanings of power and politics in the Internet age and questions whether the political category of the citizen still has a meaningful role to play in the highly-mediated dynamics of an increasingly networked world. To answer such questions, the book analyses and compares the impact of the Internet on the relationship between state, citizens, and politics in three countries: the USA, Italy, and China. The book's journey starts in the mid-90s and ends in 2016. It pays particular attention to Obama 2008 and Trump 2016 presidential campaigns, the ascendance to power in Italy of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement, and to the enduring Chinese government's struggle to control the Internet public opinion.

Robert A. Geake, "New England Citizen Soldiers of the Revolutionary War: Minutemen & Mariners "
English | ISBN: 1467142603 | 2019 | 224 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Many of the leaders and heroes of the Revolutionary War are well known to most Americans. Lesser known are those unsung heroes or citizen soldiers who first enlisted with local militias before being assigned to units of the Continental Line and sent away to fight in states and regions far removed from their homes and families. In New England, these also included men of the sea who signed aboard privateers or became part of the Mariner brigades that became indispensable in navigating waterways and ferrying troops into position. It is also the larger story of their struggle to maintain their loyalty to their home states, property and family. Author and historian Robert Geake uncovers the untold story of ordinary citizens who became united in the cause for freedom.

Étienne Balibar, Steven Miller, Emily Apter, "Citizen Subject: Foundations for Philosophical Anthropology"
English | 2016 | pages: 413 | ISBN: 082327361X, 0823273601 | PDF | 3,4 mb
What can the universals of political philosophy offer to those who experience "the living paradox of an inegalitarian construction of egalitarian citizenship"? Citizen Subject is the summation of Étienne Balibar's career-long project to think the necessary and necessarily antagonistic relation between the categories of citizen and subject. In this magnum opus, the question of modernity is framed anew with special attention to the self-enunciation of the subject (in Descartes, Locke, Rousseau, and Derrida), the constitution of the community as "we" (in Hegel, Marx, and Tolstoy), and the aporia of the judgment of self and others (in Foucualt, Freud, Kelsen, and Blanchot).

David P. Redlawsk, "A Citizen's Guide to the Political Psychology of Voting "
English | ISBN: 1138193992 | 2020 | 134 pages | EPUB | 478 KB
In the run-up to a contentious 2020 presidential election, the much-maligned American voter may indeed be wondering, "How did we get here?" A Citizen's Guide to the Political Psychology of Voting offers a way of thinking about how voters make decisions that provides both hope and concern. In many ways, voters may be able to effectively process vast amounts of information in order to decide which candidates to vote for in concert with their ideas, values, and priorities. But human limitations in information processing must give us pause. While we all might think we want to be rational information processors, political psychologists recognize that most of the time we do not have the time or the motivation to do so. The question is, can voters do a "good enough" job even if they fail to account for everything during the campaign? Evidence suggests that they can, but it isn't easy. Here, Redlawsk and Habegger portray a wide variety of voter styles and approaches―from the most motivated and engaged to the farthest removed and disenchanted―in vignettes that connect the long tradition of voter survey research to real life voting challenges. They explore how voters search for political information and make use of it in evaluating candidates and their positions. Ultimately, they find that American voters are reasonably competent in making well-enough informed vote choices efficiently and responsibly. For citizen voters as well as students and scholars, these results should encourage regular turnout for elections now and in the future.
