The USSR's Emerging Multiparty System

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: ong>Toong>lz, Vera, PUBLISHER: Praeger Publishers, Throughout the hisong>toong>ry of the USSR, groups of like-minded people have gathered, without official permission, ong>toong> discuss issues of common interest. They had their predecessors in prerevolutionary voluntary associations and political parties. During the s it became easier and less dangerous than in the previous period of Stalin's rule ong>toong> engage in activities outside government control. Indeed, since the de-Stalinization campaign in the s, Soviet society has been slowly asserting its independence, at least in areas nominally nonpolitical. Nevertheless, until Gorbachev's drive for liberalization achieved some momentum, the creation of unsanctioned groups often continued ong>toong> provoke persecution of their members. In this new book, Vera ong>Toong>lz studies these unsanctioned groups and reveals the effect they are having on the Soviet political system. In , primarily because of pressure from these unofficial movements, the Communist party was forced ong>toong> relinquish its constitutionally guaranteed monopoly on power. In other words, a multiparty system had emerged in the USSR by the end of the period under observation in this book. From the time that voluntary associations of Soviet people were permitted ong>toong> emerge from the underground and openly participate in official public life (), their role in the political and social life of the country has been rapidly expanding. By , new sociopolitical groups, especially in the Baltic republics and Transcaucasia, started ong>toong> pose not only a challenge but also a threat ong>toong> the power of the Communist party. The emergence of a multiparty system in the Soviet Union, with various political groups pursuing different--and at times opposing--goals, iscoinciding with a period during which the central authorities are being inconsistent in implementing democratic reforms. Representatives of new movements are often politically inexperienced, and the Communist party is facing a serious crisis, which makes the political situation in the Soviet Union highly unpredictable and highlights the difficulties that the country faces in moving ong>toong>ward a more democratic system.

Ethnic Conflict and International Security

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Michael E., PUBLISHER: Princeong>toong>n University Press, During the Cold War, most international relations theorists and strategic studies analysts paid little attention ong>toong> ethnic and other forms of communal conflict. Disregard for the importance of ethnic and nationality issues in world affairs, always misguided so far as the developing world was concerned, has been overtaken, in stunning fashion, by recent events from Abkhazia ong>toong> Zaire. The essays in this volume advance our understanding of the causes of ethnic and communal conflict, the regional and international implications of such conflicts, and what the international community can do ong>toong> minimize the potential for instability and violence. Drawn from recent issues of "Survival," they are organized along thematic rather than regional lines, and will be required reading for scholars, students, and policymakers alike. The contribuong>toong>rs ong>toong> the volume include Michael Brown on the causes and implications of ethnic conflict, Anthony Smith on the ethnic sources of nationalism, David Welsh on domestic politics and ethnic conflict, Renee de Nevers on democratization and ethnic conflict, and Pierre Hassner on nationalism and internationalism. Jack Snyder writes on nationalism and the crisis of the post-Soviet state, Barry Posen on the security dilemma and ethnic conflict, Kathleen Newland on ethnic conflict and refugees, Jenonne Walker on international mediation of ethnic conflicts, and Robert Cooper and Mats Berdal on outside intervention in ethnic conflicts, Adam Roberts discusses the U.N. and international security, and John Chipman explores managing the politics of parochialism.

Metapoesis - C

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Finke, Michael / Michael C. Finke / C. H. Van Schooneveld, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, Readers have been schooled ong>toong> see nineteenth-century Russian literature as the summit of social and psychological ong>realismong>. But in the work of writers from Pushkin ong>toong> Chekhov, Michael C. Finke discloses a pervasive self-referentiality, a running commentary on the literary conventions these texts seem so wholly ong>toong> embody. "Metapoesis" examines how--and more importantly, "why"--a series of major Russian authors spanning the nineteenth century inscribed commentary on their own poetics inong>toong> their works of drama, narrative poetry, and fiction. As he explores the process of metapoesis in these works, Finke reveals its communicative function in its time and its interpretive value in our own. Jakobsonian poetics provides the framework for this approach, though Finke also draws freely upon a number of contemporary literary theorists. After elucidating the meaning of metapoesis in works by Pushkin, Gogol, and Chernyshevsky, he reveals its covert functioning in such masterpieces of ong>realismong> as Dosong>toong>evsky's "The Idiot," ong>Toong>lsong>toong>y's "Anna Karenina," and Chekhov's "The Steppe." The result is a new interpretation and deeper understanding of these particular works, which in turn reorient our understanding of linguistic and literary "codes" and of the Russian literary tradition itself. Of special interest ong>toong> scholars of Russian literature, "Metapoesis" will also appeal ong>toong> a broad range of readers and students of comparative literature, literary theory, and poetics.

Osama's Revenge: The Next 9/11 What the Media and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Williams, Paul L., PUBLISHER: Prometheus Books, Former consultant for the FBI on organized crime and international terrorism and a seasoned investigative reporter, Paul Williams reveals the potential for nuclear terrorism on U.S. soil in this shocking expose. Based on the findings of U.S., Israeli, Pakistani, and U.K. intelligence, Williams describes how the theft of tactical nuclear weapons from Russian arsenals have in all likelihood made their way ong>toong> al-Qaeda cells throughout the United States in preparation for the next terrorist attack. Williams presents evidence showing that, in the chaos following the demise of the Soviet Union, the Chechen mafia got its hands on portable Russian nuclear weapons. Between and , mafia members negotiated the sale of twenty nuclear "suitcase bombs" ong>toong> representatives of Osama bin Laden. According ong>toong> Williams, reliable sources indicate that these bombs may already be in the possession of al-Qaeda cells in New York, Washingong>toong>n, Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas, Housong>toong>n, and Los Angeles. In addition, bin Laden has recruited former Soviet scientists and technicians ong>toong> maintain these weapons and recharge their nuclear cores so that they may be deployed immediately on this command. In , he issued a statement boasting of a "Hiroshima" against America. Although the media have reported on some of these threatening developments and government insiders have acknowledged the threat of nuclear attack, no one until now has put all the pieces ong>toong>gether in a coherent, no-nonsense way. Williams makes a persuasive case that bin Laden and his deputies have the motive and the means and are waiting for the right opportunity ong>toong> launch an apocalyptic attack against the "Great Satan" of America.
