  Justice on Both Sides -...

  Restorative justice represents "a paradigm shift in the way Americans conceptualize and administer punishment," says author Maisha T. Winn, from a focus on crime to a focus on harm, including the needs of both those who were harmed and those who caused it. 
   
   
   
  Her book, Justice on Both Sides, provides an urgently needed, comprehensive account of the value of restorative justice and how contemporary schools can implement effective practices to address inequalities associated with race, class, and gender. 
   
   
    
  Winn, a restorative justice practitioner and scholar, draws on her extensive experience as a coach to school leaders and teachers to show how indispensable restorative justice is in understanding and addressing the educational needs of students, particularly disadvantaged youth. Justice on Both Sides makes a major contribution by demonstrating how this actually works in schools and how it can be integrated into a range of educational settings. It also emphasizes how language and labeling must be addressed in any fruitful restorative effort. Ultimately, Winn makes the case for restorative justice as a crucial answer, at least in part, to the unequal practices and opportunities in American schools.

  Campaigns Elections and the...

  The United States, through its local, state, and national contests, holds more elections, more often, than any democracy in the world. But in recent years, there have been troubling signs that our system of campaigns and elections has become much more fragile and vulnerable. More specifically, in the past twenty years, campaigns have changed profoundly: social media and viral messaging compete with traditional media, races once considered local in nature have become nationalized, Supreme Court decisions on campaign finance law now encourage mega-donors, voters are more polarized, party affiliation has waned, and the middle ideological ground has given way to extremist language and voter rage. 
   
   
   
  This new edition of Campaigns, Elections, and the Threat to Democracy: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers the most up-to-date examination of campaigns, elections, and future threats to voting and democracy. It will also include new data on voter participation, voter fraud, reapportionment post-2020 census, party polarization, campaign finance, and more. 
   
   
   
  Given the fragility of our election process, what are the threats to a healthy American democracy? This is not simply a book on how campaigns are run, but why campaigns and elections are integral components of American democracy and how those fundamental elements may be vulnerable to misuse.

  The Brexit Referendum - The UK's...

  The Brexit referendum, which took place on June 23, 2016, marked a pivotal moment in the history of the United Kingdom and its relationship with the European Union. The decision to leave the EU, known as Brexit, came after years of mounting debate and growing division within British society and politics. The referendum was the result of a long-standing debate over the UK’s membership in the European Union, with political, economic, and cultural tensions playing a central role in shaping the outcome. 
  The road to Brexit began long before the referendum vote. The United Kingdom joined the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1973, a precursor to the European Union, and since then, the nation’s relationship with the organization has been fraught with disagreement. Euroscepticism, or skepticism about the benefits of EU membership, had been steadily rising, particularly among certain political groups and sections of the public. Critics of the EU argued that membership undermined national sovereignty and that the UK was bound by regulations and policies that did not align with its interests. This sentiment was exacerbated by issues such as immigration, trade regulations, and the financial burden of contributing to the EU budget. 
  In the years leading up to the referendum, the political landscape of the UK began to shift. The rise of UKIP (the United Kingdom Independence Party), led by Nigel Farage, brought the issue of EU membership into sharper focus. UKIP’s success in the 2014 European Parliament elections, where it emerged as the largest UK party, put pressure on the Conservative Party to address the growing concerns over the EU. Prime Minister David Cameron, seeking to quell dissent within his own party and avoid a potential electoral challenge from UKIP, promised a referendum on EU membership in 2013. This pledge set the stage for the referendum that would ultimately decide the UK’s fate within the EU.

  This book consists of three titles: 
  - The Rise and Fall of Imperial Powers: Imperialism has shaped the course of world history, influencing politics, economics, culture, and warfare across centuries. At its core, imperialism refers to the policy or ideology by which a state extends its rule over other territories, often through military conquest, economic dominance, or political influence. Empires have risen and fallen throughout history, leaving behind legacies that continue to shape modern societies. This chapter explores the fundamental characteristics of imperialism, its driving forces, and its historical significance. 
  - The Anarchist Movement: Anarchism, as both a philosophy and a political movement, seeks to abolish hierarchical structures of power, particularly the state, and promote a society based on voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, and self-governance. The term “anarchy” is often misunderstood and associated with chaos or disorder, but in the context of anarchism, it refers to the absence of coercive authority, not lawlessness. Anarchism challenges the legitimacy of centralized governments, institutions, and systems that perpetuate inequality and domination, advocating instead for decentralized, egalitarian forms of social organization. 
  - Populism and Democracy: Populism, as a political phenomenon, has seen a significant resurgence in recent decades, challenging both traditional political structures and the established norms of democratic governance. It is a term often used to describe political movements or leaders who claim to represent "the people" against a corrupt or out-of-touch elite. The central tenet of populism lies in its rhetoric, which typically divides society into two antagonistic groups: the virtuous, ordinary people and the corrupt, self-serving elite.
