The Psychology of Dictatorship

The Psychology of Dictatorship
Fathali M. Moghaddam, "The Psychology of Dictatorship"
English | ISBN: 1433812983 | 2013 | 255 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In this book, Fathali M. Moghaddam presents his "springboard model" of dictatorship, derived from both a substantive analysis of the common structures underlying dictatorial regimes and his own personal experience of life in a modern dictatorship. He discusses the importance of psychological processes such as displacement of aggression, conformity, obedience, fear, and cognitive dissonance as tools that aid the development and maintenance of dictatorships, as well as the crucial role of ideology in cementing the allegiance of elites.

The Provisional IRA From Insurrection to Parliament

The Provisional IRA From Insurrection to Parliament
The Provisional IRA: From Insurrection to Parliament By Tommy McKearney
2011 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0745330754 | PDF | 14 MB
This book analyses the underlying reasons behind the formation of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), its development, where this current in Irish republicanism is at present and its prospects for the future.Tommy McKearney, a former IRA member who was part of the 1980 hunger strike, challenges the misconception that the Provisional IRA was only, or even wholly, about ending partition and uniting Ireland. He argues that while these objectives were always the core and headline demands of the organisation, opposition to the old Northern Ireland state was a major dynamic for the IRA's armed campaign. As he explores the makeup and strategy of the IRA he is not uncritical, examining alternative options available to the movement at different periods, arguing that its inability to develop a clear socialist programme has limited its effectiveness and reach.This authoritative and engaging history provides a fascinating insight into the workings and dynamics of a modern resistance movement.

English | February 28, 2020 | ISBN: 0190079630 | True EPUB | 324 pages | 1.3 MB

Ryan Patrick Hanley aims to correct this oversight, providing the first book-length interpretative study of Fénelon's writings to appear in English.
