Описание:

Timothy Sisk presents a new way of conceiving the transition to democracy in South Africa. Unlike authors such as Horowitz and Lijphart, who have sought to prescribe an ideal set of post-apartheid political institutions, Sisk asks what kinds of institutions show signs of actually emerging, given recent history and present realities. He treats the problem of constructing a democratic post-apartheid society in South Africa as part of a larger condition common to societies deeply divided by ethnic, religious, racial, or national discord. Though its profound cleavages of race and class make it a "least likely" candidate for conflict resolution through democratization, Sisk argues that the centripetal pull on moderate politicians of all parties was greater than the seemingly natural polarizing trend in a divided society. This centripetal pull led to the adoption of an interim constitution in 1993 after protracted negotiations. An American Fulbright scholar sent to South Africa after the end of the 21-year rupture of official scholarly exchanges between the two countries, Sisk analyzes the changes in the strategic calculations of the white minority government, the black liberation movement, and other parties over the course of negotiations since 1990. He concludes that intermittent upsurges of violence often reinforced, rather than reduced, the incentives of leaders on both sides to negotiate a settlement that would avoid mutually damaging outcomes. Drawing on extensive interviews with political figures, as well as other primary and secondary sources, Sisk finds reason for hope that a democratic social contract can evolve, balancing majority rule with minority representation and guaranteeing equal economic opportunity and social justice.

Описание: After being ravaged by famine, genocide and 400 years of war, an ancient city-state known as Panteria has united the planet bringing peace for most, and unrest for others.

Rebels, Terrorists, or Freedom Fighters--The labels never matter. Good or Bad, they threaten the neoteric status quo. With secrets to protect at all costs, genetically and bio-mechanically enhanced soldiers are enlisted to combat all threats with extreme ... diligence.

Nearing the end of thirtieth century, an unparalleled killer in the Army of Mutants escapes the brutality and seeks a life of peace. Jim St. John--recruited, trained and enhanced by the government as a boy to be the ultimate soldier--vows to stop the bloodshed, unearthing a civilization buried by catastrophe for over 800 years. Under St. John's command, the ultra-soldiers of Crystal Mountain must rise above the surface to exact violent justice on those who threaten the nascent liberty. But nothing worth dying for comes easy.

Hell, when it's all said and done, the Executioners may have to forget about saving the world and simply save themselves.

Steel yourself for the first volume of the Panteria Chronicles ... Fallen.
