References. Author Index. Subject Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Inscribed by the author inside the front cover. Inscription reads To Michael with thanks & appreciation for your good efforts to strengthen Georgetown. Best, Ali Feb. 2008. It is understood that Ali is the diminutive of Fathali. Applying psychological themes and theories to various cultural conflicts across the globe, this book explores the large scale migration of refugees fleeing international conflict, as well as 9/11 and its aftermath. Fathali M. Moghaddam is an Iranian-born psychologist, author, professor of psychology at Georgetown University and director of the Interdisciplinary Program in Cognitive Science, Georgetown University. Since 9/11, Moghaddam has applied his 'collectivist/normative' approach to explaining radicalization and terrorism in the context of fractured globalization. His staircase model of terrorism is a concrete outcome of this approach. His solution to radicalization is a new policy to managing intergroup relations, based on his policy of omniculturalism, which focused on human commonalities and rejects both assimilation and multiculturalism. He has worked to establish an empirical basis for universal human rights, and to explain the rise and fall of dictatorships through his springboard model. His claim is that in terms of personality characteristics, there are potential dictators in all human groups. The key is to understand the conditions that give rise to the springboard, which enables a potential dictator to spring to power. More

The Editor was the Grandson of James Monroe. Card "With the Compliments of the Editor" laid in. In this instance, it is believed that the card refers to Russell Kirk. Representative government is the subject of this book by the fifth President of the United States. A State's sovereign and a State's government must not be identical--that is the lesson which James Monroe imparts through first a general analysis and then a comparison of the American republic with the Athenian, Spartan, and Carthaginian republics. Had Monroe lived longer, he had intended to also include a discussion of the Roman Republic and the British Constitution. More

Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads For Douglas with best wishes, Charles Murray. DJ has some wear and soiling. Charles Alan Murray (born January 8, 1943) is an American political scientist. Murray earned a BA in history from Harvard University in 1965 and a Ph.D. in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1974. He is the W.H. Brady Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington, D.C. Murray's work is highly controversial. His book Losing Ground: American Social Policy, 1950–1980 (1984) discussed the American welfare system. In the book The Bell Curve (1994), he and co-author Richard Herrnstein argue that in 20th century American society, intelligence became a better predictor than parental socioeconomic status or education level of many individual outcomes, including income, job performance, pregnancy out of wedlock, and crime, and that social welfare programs and education efforts to improve social outcomes for the disadvantaged are largely counterproductive. Murray has indicated that he believes that the government is over regulated and has expressed support for disobeying regulations he considers to be unjust. Murray supports having simpler tax codes and decreasing government benefits, which could incentivize childbearing. In June 2016, Murray wrote that replacing welfare with a universal basic income was the best way to adapt to "a radically changing U.S. jobs market" More

New York: Seven Stories Press, 2000. Second printing [stated]. Trade paperback. x, 441, [5] pages. The cover has some wear and soiling. Signed with sentiment by Nader. Reads For Justice Ralph Nader. Foreword by Barbara Ehrenreich. Notes. Ralph Nader (born February 27, 1934) is an American political activist, author, lecturer, and attorney noted for his involvement in consumer protection, environmentalism, and government reform causes, and a perennial presidential candidate. He became famous in the 1960s and 1970s for his book Unsafe at Any Speed, which criticized the automotive industry for its safety record and helped lead to the passage of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act in 1966. Nader attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School. Published in 1965, Unsafe at Any Speed became a highly influential critique of the safety record of American automobile manufacturers focusing on General Motors' Corvair automobile in particular. Following the publication of Unsafe at Any Speed, Nader led a group of volunteer law students in an investigation of the Federal Trade Commission, leading to that agency's overhaul and reform. Nader leveraged his popularity to establish a number of advocacy and watchdog groups including the Public Interest Research Group, the Center for Auto Safety, and Public Citizen. Two of Nader's most notable targets were the Chevy Corvair and the Ford Pinto. Nader made four bids to become President of the United States, running with the Green Party in 1996 and 2000, the Reform Party in 2004, and as an independent in 2008. Nader said he sought to highlight under-reported issues and a perceived need for electoral reform. More
