Transforming the Presidency and Renewing America
Iwan Morgan, UCL, UK Iwan Morgan takes a fresh look at FDR, showing how his leadership enabled the United States of America to become the most successful country of the twentieth century. This astute and original assessment of a highly consequential presidency explains how Roosevelt enhanced the governing capacity of his office, promoted a constitutional revolution through his dealings with the Supreme Court, and forged a new intimacy between the president and the American people. In fluid, immensely readable prose, Morgan focuses on the ways in which FDR transformed the presidency into an institution of domestic and international leadership.

Journalist and activist, Michael Chessum explains how this movement was built and why it has failed to bring about lasting change (so far).

The Liberal Unionist Party
A History
Ian Cawood, University of Stirling, UK Here, Ian Cawood uses previously unpublished archival material to provide the first complete study of the Liberal Unionist party. He examines how the party became a genuinely successful political movement with widespread activist and popular support, resulting in the development of an authentic Liberal Unionist culture across Britain in the mid-1890s. The issues Cawood explores are central to an understanding of the development of the 20th century Conservative party; the emergence of a 'national' political culture, and the problems, both organisational and ideological, of a sustained period of coalition in the British parliamentary system.

Decriminalizing Abortion in Northern Ireland
Legislation and Protest
Edited by Fiona Bloomer, Ulster University, UK & Emma Campbell, Ulster University, UK Abortion remains one of the most politicized issues globally and whilst some countries such as the USA continue to experience restrictions to access to abortion, Northern Ireland stands out as having enacted historical positive change in abortion law, from an almost complete ban to decriminalization achieved in 2019. This edited collection sets out to document and analyze how this historical change was achieved. Each chapter is written by those directly involved in the long fought battle to change abortion law - including those with personal experience of seeking abortions, activists, academics, legal experts, political actors, NGOs, and volunteers. Academic and theoretical framings will sit alongside first-hand experience of abortion travel and organizing, framing the narrative of the combined contributions to this seismic change. This interdisciplinary text will be of relevance to academics and students in the disciplines of law, policy, political science, and sociology, but also to organizers and policy makers in other global contexts and across other social justice campaigns.

Drawing on a wide range of media – including newspapers, digital, photography, radio, television and video, as well as empirical research on media and memory – she examines how drought, flooding and water management have been portrayed in the media, both historically and in the contemporary world.

Angola at the Crossroads
Between Kleptocracy and Development
Rui Santos Verde, University of Oxford, UK Angola is the third largest economy in Sub-Saharan Africa and plans to accede to the Commonwealth but it is poised precariously at a crossroads between a past marked by civil war and corruption and a future of potential economic development. This book examines the post-Civil War period which began in 2002 and saw the rise of corruption, as well as recent developments in the country, such as the efforts of the current President, João Lourenço, to reform the regime through political openness, economic growth and a crackdown on corruption. Rui Santos Verde analyses the country's recent history and the current attempts at reform in order to determine whether economic and political development is on the horizon for Angola, or whether these reforms are simply a move towards consolidating President Lourenço's personal power.

The Geoeconomics of Technological Sovereignty
Glenn Diesen, National Research University, Russia How and why will the fourth industrial revolution impact great power politics? Here, Glenn Diesen utilizes a neoclassical approach to great power politics to assess how far the development of AI, national and localized technological ecosystems and cyber-warfare will affect great power politics in the next century. The reliance of modern economies on technological advances, Diesen argues, also compels states to intervene radically in economics and the lives of citizens, as automation radically alters the economies of tomorrow.

Mafia and Antimafia
A Brief History
Umberto Santino, The Sicilian Documentation Center, Italy The mafia is an impenetrable and seemingly infallible embodiment of notoriety and criminality. Umberto Santino, one of Italy's leading mafia experts, here provides a new perspective on the mafia: as a polymorphic organization which encompasses crime, the accumulation of corruptly acquired wealth and power, the cultural code of omerta, and consensus. Exploring the movements which strive to fight against the mafia's powers, such as the campaigns of civil society organizations like the Centro siciliano di documentazione, the author also provides a fresh look at the mechanisms - and struggles - of the antimafia movement.

The research is based on over 200 interviews and features never-beforeseen access to the archives of the Chechen Parliament during the period of de facto independence.

Machines Against Measures
Irene Sotiropoulou, University of Hull, UK Can we avoid measuring in our work? Or are we trapped in a metrification dystopia by the new digital technologies used in workspaces? Monetarytheorist Irene Sotiropoulou criticises the production means that were created for capitalist profit-making and, at the same time, shows how we can subvert these and use them for our own non-capitalist purposes. Using everyday examples from grassroots organisations that give us insights on how to be inventive with what we have at hand, this book reveals a more utopian vision of technology and work, based on re-defining how we measure what we do.

Liminal Commons
Modern Rituals of Transition in Greece
Angelos Varvarousis, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain This book is the first attempt to rethink and appraise the role of temporary commoning experiences that develop in contexts of crisis. Angelos Varvarousis, argues that there is a certain type of commons – the liminal commons – which play a crucial function in contemporary societies; they demarcate and facilitate transitions at the individual, collective and ultimately the societal level. Through an intense exploration of grassroots projects such as occupied squares, selforganised refugee camps, solidarity food structures and social clinics in crisis-ridden Greece, the author observes that humans still invent such collectively performed rituals in order to prepare, symbolize and practically explore the possibility of transformation and transition.

National Affects
The Everyday Atmospheres of Being Political
Angharad Closs Stephens, Swansea University, UK In a timely intervention, this book addresses the affective and atmospheric dimensions of citizenship to open new angles in the study of nationalism and global politics. Exploring sites that range from the 2012 London Olympic Games to the European refugee crisis and ‘Brexit’, asking how the nation is felt in everyday life and differently experienced, National Affects moves between theory and narrative to establish a new tone of critical enquiry. Whilst informed by critical interrogations of the geographies of “us” and “them”, the book argues that these ideas are not as stable as they are made to seem.

Power on the Move
Adivasi and Roma Accessing Social Justice
Cristina-Ioana Dragomir, Queen Mary University of London, UK Based on intensive ethnographic work in Romania and India conducted over a number of years, this book traces the struggle for social justice in Roma and Adivasi communities. Challenging commonly held assumptions that most marginalized and mobile communities typically resist the state and engage in hostile acts to undermine its authority, this book shows how these groups are willing and engaging in various means such as protests and grassroots organizing, to become full members of their respective states, hoping to reach inclusion and access social justice.
