The Complexity of Self Government represents a revolutionary approach to political science. Bottom-up theory turns political and social analysis upside down by focusing analytic attention not on vacuous abstractions but on the individual men and women who either consciously or inadvertently create the institutions within which they live. Understanding this practical level of human activity is made possible through complexity theory, recently developed in computer models, but of wider use in understanding everyday human behaviour. To this complexity framework, the book adds social science to give life and colour to the analytical picture: micro-sociology from Garfinkel and Goffman, anthropology from Bourdieu, and non-technical game theory based on Thomas Schelling's microanalytics, to give rigour and bite. Theoretical examples include India's Mumbai, Iran, the marshes of southern Iraq, Berlusconi's Italy, backcountry China, Zimbabwe, and Nelson Mandela's revolution in South Africa.

Moving beyond previous scholarship, he gives us a Locke as much concerned with the effective functioning of government as with the roots of its moral legitimacy."--BOOK JACKET.

People in high places, robbing the money from the country, we need to pay and keep this country running, dishonesty and corruption at the top of the infrastructure, people paying themselves high wages without asking us if we can have a say in how they spend our money. The people that are suffering from the robbers that is taking money from the British economy, the British working class, and the poor people of this country, we are under attack from a system of dishonest people that has being voted into power to manage the finance of this country, and look out for our well being, and so far there is no one at top in government with the power to stop these people from destroying us, we need to stare this country back on course to give the British people back their dignity, by routing out the system that is pushing this country into bankruptcy. I think only by voting in a new set of people with honesty and determination will this country recover from this bad economical nose dive. Things will get worse for people not having money to look after themselves and that would include me Patrick Jackson, I feel that if someone do not do something, we the working class people and other people with no jobs will be pushed into poverty, depression, financial depth, loosing our homes, and being on the streets with no where to live, this could put us on the wrong side of the law making us into criminals for being poor, from there, death is the only way. I do not want to suffer poverty if I know that I have a skill to try and do something that others would think is a foolish attempt, to take on the very system that is pushing us all into a very poor depression, but is there people in my community with the drive and determination to take on the government by trying to put your voice and opinion so you can make a difference, I am just a one man army with my political opinion and if I can write a book to tell others the same thing they are thinking, I can make a difference if people understand why I had to do this, and support me in trying to take on the government, and to stand as an MP, I will be the first, to show people we can do it, and if this book and film make money, the money from this, will go to help sponsor this independent party and supporting the team of people that will take part into helping to run this independent part. The British People Voting Union will be amongst the best candidates running for election to elect a leader to run this country.

Soldier repatriation from Afghanistan has impacted debate about the war. This study highlights this impact with particular focus on Britain, Denmark and Germany. All three countries deployed soldiers soon after the 9/11 attacks, yet their role in Afghanistan and the casualty rates suffered, have been vastly different. This book looks at how their casualties influenced the framing of the war by analysing the political discourse about the casualties, how the media covered the repatriation and the burials, and how the dead were officially recognised and commemorated. Explaining how bodies count is not done exclusively by focusing on the political leadership and the media in the three countries, the response from the men and women in Afghanistan to the official framing of the war is given particular weight. Martinsen contributes to our understanding of European strategic culture by showing how countries respond to the same security challenges.

THE GOVERNMENT PARASITE A Tongue-in Cheek Boomer's Eyed View of History Whether personal or historical, beginnings are the most important part of stories, followed by how we got here and now. The author introduces himself through his beginnings; "Growing Up in Fifties Philly" This is followed by the beginnings of the United States of America in Ancient Greece and the millennia leading to the conflict, struggle and the new governmental structure that became the United States. Jumping ahead 100 years, the roots of "The Progressives" and how they have changed the direction of the nation through Presidents like Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and F.D.R. What has the New Millennia brought for the author and the Nation? And, where do we go from here? A twist is applied with mostly humorous, cynical or alarmed author inserted observations. (sic)
