How differing forms of repression led to substantially divergent political outcomes in Tunisia and Egypt following the Arab Spring
In the wake of the Arab Spring, newly empowered factions in Tunisia and Egypt vowed to work together to establish democracy. In Tunisia, political elites passed a new constitution, held parliamentary elections, and demonstrated the strength of their democracy with a peaceful transfer of power. Yet in Egypt, unity crumbled due to polarization among elites. Presenting a new theory of polarization under authoritarianism, After Repression reveals how polarization and the legacies of repression shape the divergent outcomes of democratic transitions.
Drawing on original interviews and a wealth of new historical data, Elizabeth Nugent documents polarization among the opposition in Tunisia and Egypt prior to the Arab Spring, tracing how different kinds of repression influenced the bonds between opposition groups. She demonstrates how widespread repression created shared political identities and decreased polarization--such as in Tunisia--while targeted repression like that carried out against the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt led opposition groups to build distinct identities that increased polarization among them. This helps explain why elites in Tunisia were able to compromise, cooperate, and continue on the path to democratic consolidation while deeply polarized elites in Egypt contributed to the rapid retrenchment of authoritarianism.
Providing vital new insights into the ways repression shapes polarization, After Repression helps to explain what happened in the turbulent days following the Arab Spring and illuminates the obstacles to democratic transitions around the world.
Описание: A backward glance - or a quick survey of so many retiring members of Congress - tells us that even in the past decade partisan rancor has grown exponentially. In Angry Politics, Stacy Ulbig asks why. More to the point, she traces the trend to the place where it all might begin - the college campus, among the youngest segment of the electorate.

Описание: Die Reihe neue rhetorik - new rhetoric umfasst Monographien und Sammelwerke, die sich mit Problemen und Ergebnissen der aktuellen Rhetorikforschung beschaftigen, sie treibt die Theoriebildung voran und erforscht die gegenwartige Kommunikationspraxis. Die Bande gehen konzeptionell neue Wege bei der Erschlie?ung des alten Themas Rhetorik im kulturellen und sozialen Zusammenhang und dokumentieren die Aktualitat der Rhetorik im theoretischen Zugriff und auch in der Perspektivierung auf die moderne Wissensgesellschaft. Als Disziplin, die sich mit der kulturellen Einbettung, der Au?erungs- und Wirkungsweise von Kommunikation, dabei insbesondere auch mit Fragen der Textualitat befasst, gehort die Rhetorik neben der Philosophie zu den altesten, theoretisch systematisierten Wissensbereichen Europas. Seit der Antike hat es in der Geschichte der Rhetorik immer wieder Werktitel gegeben, die von einer „neuen Rhetorik" sprechen. Bei genauer Betrachtung zeigt sich, dass das Neue teils in Reformulierungen des traditionellen Wissens uber Rhetorik besteht, teils in Fortschreibungen der klassischen Theorien, teils aber auch in zeitgema?en Neuansatzen, die neue Perspektiven ins Spiel bringen. Dahinter stand und steht immer die Einsicht, dass sich die menschlichen Kommunikationsmoglichkeiten durch technische Innovationen und soziale und kulturelle Entwicklungen verandern wie auch die sich wandelnden Anspruche an Theoriearbeit zu immer neuen Auseinandersetzungen mit Fragen der Rhetorik fuhren.
In the political climate of a post-truth era, it may be a return to moderation in the national discourse that mends the ideological divide.
In, Musings of A Moderate: Political Discourse in The Age of Polarization, a compelling case for cooperation and critical analysis is presented as a way to reverse the effects of tribalism and the development of an adversarial democracy. We live in a time of limitless potential, where diversity and the open exchange of ideas will become our strength rather than a source of endless division. However, the first step towards a cooperative political environment is to appreciate that differing opinions are a key resource that enhance our ability to create optimal solutions for the challenges of the future. Now is the time to embrace critical thinking and encourage people to express their political, social, and cultural commentary in a manner that reflects our values in a free society.

Описание: This book examines the geography of partisan polarization, or the Reds and Blues, of the political landscape in the United States. It places the current schism between Democrats and Republicans within a historical context and presents a theoretical framework that offers unique insights into the American electorate. The authors focus on the demographic and political causes of polarization at the local level across space and time. This is accomplished with the aid of a comprehensive dataset that includes the presidential election results for every county in the continental United States, from the advent of Jacksonian democracy in 1828 to the 2016 election. In addition, coverage applies spatial diagnostics, spatial lag models and spatial error models to determine why contemporary and historical elections in the United States have exhibited their familiar, but heretofore unexplained, political geography. Both popular observers and scholars alike have expressed concern that citizens are becoming increasingly polarized and, as a consequence, that democratic governance is beginning to break down. This book argues that once current levels of polarization are placed within a historical context, the future does not look quite so bleak. Overall, readers will discover that partisan division is a dynamic process in large part due to the complex interplay between changing demographics and changing politics.
