The Origins of Elected Strongmen How Personalist Parties Destroy Democracy from Within

The Origins of Elected Strongmen How Personalist Parties Destroy Democracy from Within
Free Download The Origins of Elected Strongmen: How Personalist Parties Destroy Democracy from Within by Erica Frantz, Andrea Kendall-Taylor, Joe Wright
English | August 24, 2024 | ISBN: 0198888074 | 240 pages | MOBI | 3.58 Mb
Since the end of World War II, democracies typically fell apart by coup d'état or through force. Today, however, they are increasingly eroding at the hands of democratically elected incumbents, who seize control by slowly chipping away at democratic institutions. To better understand these developments, this book examines the role of personalist political parties, or parties that exist primarily to further their leader's career as opposed to promote a specific policy platform. Using original data capturing levels of personalism in the parties of democratically elected leaders from 1991 to 2020, The Origins of Elected Strongmen shows that the rise of personalist parties around the globe is facilitating the decline of democracy.

The Native Conquistador Alva Ixtlilxochitl's Account of the Conquest of New Spain

The Native Conquistador Alva Ixtlilxochitl's Account of the Conquest of New Spain
Free Download Amber Brian, "The Native Conquistador: Alva Ixtlilxochitl's Account of the Conquest of New Spain "
English | ISBN: 0271066857 | 2015 | 152 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
For many years, scholars of the conquest worked to shift focus away from the Spanish perspective and bring attention to the often-ignored voices and viewpoints of the Indians. But recent work that highlights the "Indian conquistadors" has forced scholars to reexamine the simple categories of conqueror and subject and to acknowledge the seemingly contradictory roles assumed by native peoples who chose to fight alongside the Spaniards against other native groups. The Native Conquistador―a translation of the "Thirteenth Relation," written by don Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxochitl in the early seventeenth century―narrates the conquest of Mexico from Hernando Cortés's arrival in 1519 through his expedition into Central America in 1524. The protagonist of the story, however, is not the Spanish conquistador but Alva Ixtlilxochitl's great-great-grandfather, the native prince Ixtlilxochitl of Tetzcoco. This account reveals the complex political dynamics that motivated Ixtlilxochitl's decisive alliance with Cortés. Moreover, the dynamic Descriptionline, propelled by the feats of Prince Ixtlilxochitl, has made this a compelling story for centuries―and one that will captivate students and scholars today.

Free Download Brad Asher, "The Most Hated Man in Kentucky: The Lost Cause and the Legacy of Union General Stephen Burbridge"
English | ISBN: 0813181372 | 2021 | 286 pages | PDF | 19 MB
For the last third of the nineteenth century, Union General Stephen Gano Burbridge enjoyed the unenviable distinction of being the most hated man in Kentucky. From mid-1864, just months into his reign as the military commander of the state, until his death in December 1894, the mere mention of his name triggered a firestorm of curses from editorialists and politicians. By the end of Burbridge's tenure, Governor Thomas E. Bramlette concluded that he was an "imbecile commander" whose actions represented nothing but the "blundering of a weak intellect and an overwhelming vanity."
