While liberal-democratic states like America, Britain and Australia claim to value freedom of expression and the right to dissent, they have always actually criminalized dissent. This disposition has worsened since 9/11 and the 2008 Great Recession. This ground-breaking study shows that just as dissent involves far more than protest marches, so too liberal-democratic states have expanded the criminalization of dissent. Drawing on political and social theorists like Arendt, Bourdieu and Isin, the book offers a new way of thinking about politics, dissent and its criminalization relationally. Using case studies like the Occupy movement, selective refusal by Israeli soldiers, urban squatters, democratic education and violence by anti-Apartheid activists, the book highlights the many forms dissent takes along with the many ways liberal-democratic states criminalize it. The book highlights the mix of fear and delusion in play when states privilege security to protect an imagined ‘political order’ from difference and disagreement. The book makes a major contribution to political theory, legal studies and sociology. Linking legal, political and normative studies in new ways, Watts shows that ultimately liberal-democracies rely more on sovereignty and the capacity for coercion and declarations of legal ‘states of exception’ than on liberal-democratic principles. In a time marked by a deepening crisis of democracy, the book argues dissent is increasingly valuable.

Criminalization Of Activism written by Valeria Weis and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-12-22 with Social Science categories.
Criminalization of Activism draws on a multiplicity of perspectives and case studies from the Global South and the Global North to show how protest has been subject to processes of criminalization over time. Contributors include scholars and activists from different disciplinary backgrounds, with a balance between authors from the Global North and the Global South. An introduction frames the topic within critical criminology, while also highlighting the possible disciplinary approaches and definitions of criminalization of resistance/activism. The editor also investigates the particularities of the current times in comparison to dynamics of criminalization in prior stages of capitalism. Bringing together a range of criminalization themes into a single volume, compromising historical criminology, Indigenous studies, gender studies, critical criminology, southern criminology and green criminology, it will be of great interest to scholars and students of criminology, social movement theory and social sciences, as well as those involved in activism and with a stand against criminalization.

This book offers an avenue for understanding the parameters, scope, meanings, and impacts of environmental protest. Focusing on ecodefense, it explores the significance of the communiqué (the written explanation of the reasons for an act of ecodefense), comparing the communiqué to written texts in Conceptual art. It presents and seeks to evaluate the following analogy: act of ecodefense : communiqué :: work of conceptual art : written declaration/statement. By considering the communiqué in this light, this book helps us better comprehend the rationales for “radical environmentalism” undertaken for the purposes of reducing environmental harms, natural resource exploitation, and animal abuse.

From anti-immigration agendas that criminalise vulnerable populations, to the punishment of the poor and the governance of parenting, this timely book explores how diverse fields of social policy intersect more deeply than ever with crime control and, in so doing, deploy troubling strategies. The international context of this book is complemented by the inclusion of specific policy examples across the themes of work and welfare; borders and migration; family policy; homelessness and the reintegration of justice-involved persons. This book incites the reader to consider how we can reclaim the best of the ‘social’ in social policy for the twenty-first century.

In 2011, protesters around the world – including Canada – called for changes to the societies in which they live. Many observers were asking: “What do they want?” Some answers to this question can be found in How Societies Work, a unique and accessible introductory sociology textbook that introduces students to the structure of contemporary societies and the power relationships within them. In contrast to most introductory textbooks, How Societies Work explores a broad range of sociological concepts and theories while simultaneously creating a coherent picture of modern societies. Drawing on fields as diverse as anthropology, genetics, economics, social psychology, history and politics, this innovative and popular text looks at both the roots of modern societies and the current structures within them. This approach helps undergraduate students make sense of our complex social world and encourages them to connect the social world to their own lived experiences. This extensively revised and updated fifth edition includes discussions of the roots of the recent global economic crisis and worldwide responses to it, growing social inequality, broader global struggles for change, the growth of the security state in Canada and the sudden resurgence of political protest in North America. The final chapter looks to the future, examining such issues as the possible consequences of climate change, increased forced migration of peoples and the changing dynamic of global power. More boxes, quotes and “think about it” elements have been added to the fifth edition, while the language, clarity of presentation and many examples make it even more accessible to readers. It is an introductory textbook that truly engages students in the “sociological imagination.” This fifth edition is presented in a large format, making it easier to read and even more student friendly. A testbank and power point presentation are available for instructors upon request.

Governments play a crucial role in shaping societies, enacting policies, and making decisions that affect the lives of their citizens. While many governments work with transparency and integrity, there have been instances throughout history where deception and manipulation have been employed to achieve certain objectives. It is important to acknowledge that not all governments engage in deceptive practices, and this preface should not be interpreted as a blanket statement about all governing bodies. Instead, it aims to shed light on some historical and potential methods governments could use to deceive their citizens. Governments may deceive their citizens through various means, including: 1. **Propaganda:** Governments can use propaganda to control the narrative and shape public opinion. They may disseminate biased information or misleading narratives through state-controlled media, censorship, or manipulation of social media platforms to influence public perception. 2. **Censorship and Information Control:** By controlling the flow of information, governments can restrict access to certain facts or ideas that might challenge their authority or contradict their agenda. This can be done through internet censorship, media control, or limiting academic freedoms. 3. **Half-Truths and Spin:** Governments may present information selectively, emphasizing certain aspects of an issue while downplaying or omitting others to manipulate public perception and opinion. 4. **False Flags:** In some cases, governments may orchestrate or allow incidents to occur to manipulate public sentiment or justify certain actions. These "false flag" operations can create a sense of crisis and rally support for government actions that might otherwise be met with resistance. 5. **Surveillance and Privacy Concerns:** Governments may employ extensive surveillance measures, often justified in the name of national security, to monitor their citizens' activities. This can lead to concerns about privacy violations and potential misuse of collected data. 6. **Corruption and Bribery:** Instances of corruption within the government can lead to dishonest decision-making, with policies influenced by personal gain rather than the best interests of the citizens. 7. **Divide and Conquer Strategies:** Governments might exploit existing societal divisions, such as along ethnic, religious, or socio-economic lines, to maintain power by pitting different groups against each other. 8. **Scapegoating:** Governments may blame certain groups or individuals for societal problems to divert attention from their own shortcomings or to rally support for specific policies. 9. **Manipulation of Elections:** By tampering with electoral processes or engaging in voter suppression, governments can influence election outcomes and maintain their hold on power. 10. **Complex Legislation and Bureaucracy:** The use of complex legislation and bureaucratic processes can make it difficult for citizens to fully understand the implications of certain policies, making it easier for governments to pass controversial measures without widespread public scrutiny. It is essential for citizens to be vigilant and well-informed, questioning information sources, and demanding transparency and accountability from their governments. A robust civil society, free press, and active public engagement can act as safeguards against deception and misuse of power by those in authority.

Erich Fromm’s body of work, written more than 50 years ago, was prophetic of the contemporary moment: Increasingly, global society is threatened by the many-headed monster of corporate greed, neo-liberalism, nihilism, extreme fundamentalist beliefs, and their resulting effects on the natural world and the lived lives of people. Fromm clearly warned us of the peril of the misuse of technology and the destructive nature of man’s perverse desire to possess, control and/or destroy. Through his theories of having vs. being, the importance of hope as active resistance, and his notion of freedom as the capacity to love self, and others, Fromm encouraged his readers to cultivate biophilic ways of being in the world that will counter and heal the impending necrophilic plunder of man’s hubris. This multi-authored volume sheds new light on Fromm’s forgotten role in the formation of contemporary thought through an engaging variety of reflexive and historical narratives from fields of sociology, clinical psychology, political science, critical theory of religion and education. Key concepts from his body of work are interpreted and expressed in ways that offer hopeful and humane alternatives to the present global conditions of despair, greed and depersonalization.
