Studies in Machiavellianism covers the various aspects of Machiavellian personality and characteristics. Traditionally, the "Machiavellian" is someone who views and manipulates others for his own purposes. This 17-chapter text discusses the empirical findings on approved canons of social psychological reporting concerning Machiavellianism. The introductory chapters examine the relationships between Machiavellianism and measures of ability, opinion, and personality, as well as the visual interaction in relation to Machiavellianism and an unethical act. The succeeding chapters discuss the results and implications of the Machiavel study, with a particular emphasis on the measure of success of attempts to manipulate others. Other chapters deal with the results of the Con and Ten Dollar Games along with their interpretation. The remaining chapters discuss the laboratory and field research studies of Machiavellianism, as well as its social correlation. This book will prove useful to social psychologist, behaviorists, historians, and researchers.

The world abounds with tricksters, swindlers, and impostors. Many of them may well be described with the term Machiavellian. Such individuals disrespect moral principles, deceive their fellow beings, and take advantage of others’ frailty and gullibility. They have a penetrating, rational, and sober mind undisturbed by emotions. At times we cannot help but be enchanted by their talent even though we know they misuse it. Recent studies have revealed that Machiavellians possess a complex set of abilities and motivations. This insightful book examines the complexities of the Machiavellian trait, in relation to attitude, behaviour, and personality. By integrating results and experiences from social, personality, cognitive, and evolutionary psychology, Tamás Bereczkei explores the characteristics of Machiavellianism (such as social intelligence, deception, manipulation, and lack of empathy), and the causes and motives guiding Machiavellian behaviour. The author also demonstrates how Machiavellianism is related to strategic thinking and flexible long-term decisions rather than to a short-term perspective, as previously thought, and explores Machiavellianism in relation to the construct of the Dark Triad. The first comprehensive psychological book on Machiavellianism since Christie and Geis’ pioneering work in 1970, Machiavellianism summarises the most important research findings over the last few decades. This book is fascinating reading for students and researchers of psychology and related courses, as well as professionals dealing with Machiavellians in their work and practice.

Originally published in 1975, The Machiavellian Moment remains a landmark of historical and political thought. Celebrated historian J.G.A. Pocock looks at the consequences for modern historical and social consciousness arising from the ideal of the classical republic revived by Machiavelli and other thinkers of Renaissance Italy. Pocock shows that Machiavelli's prime emphasis was on the moment in which the republic confronts the problem of its own instability in time, which Pocock calls the "Machiavellian moment." After examining this problem in the works of Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and Giannotti, Pocock turns to the revival of republican ideology in Puritan England and in Revolutionary and Federalist America. He argues that the American Revolution can be considered the last great act of civic humanism of the Renaissance and he relates the origins of modern historicism to the clash between civic, Christian, and commercial values in eighteenth-century thought. This Princeton Classics edition of The Machiavellian Moment features a new introduction by Richard Whatmore.

Intensifying economic and political inequality poses a dangerous threat to the liberty of democratic citizens. Mounting evidence suggests that economic power, not popular will, determines public policy, and that elections consistently fail to keep public officials accountable to the people. McCormick confronts this dire situation through a dramatic reinterpretation of Niccolò Machiavelli's political thought. Highlighting previously neglected democratic strains in Machiavelli's major writings, McCormick excavates institutions through which the common people of ancient, medieval and Renaissance republics constrained the power of wealthy citizens and public magistrates, and he imagines how such institutions might be revived today. It reassesses one of the central figures in the Western political canon and decisively intervenes into current debates over institutional design and democratic reform. McCormick proposes a citizen body that excludes socioeconomic and political elites and grants randomly selected common people significant veto, legislative and censure authority within government and over public officials.

Machiavellianism has acquired an undeserved bad reputation in recent centuries. It has become synonymous with lying, cheating, stealing, defrauding, and murdering. It is true that Machiavelli did discuss the use of these harsh tactics, among many other, less abrasive ones. In his superb book, The Prince, he told us that he had known Popes, kings, queens, generals, and many other powerful and prestigious people. All of them, he observed, resorted to unsavory methods at one time or another to attain their lofty positions and stay in them. He described the many methods for attaining our life's goals. He did not, however, describe what those goals should be. We must decide for ourselves what our goals in life are to be, he assured us. Machiavelli simply advised us on how to accomplish those goals, whatever they may be. Whether you want to be an elementary school teacher, a corporate CEO, a good mother, a humble parish priest, or a comfortable retiree, you need to have a plan for achieving your ambitions. Selecting your goals is your strategy. The methods by which you achieve your self-selected goals are your tactics. Machiavelli described many tactics. During our seances, Machiavelli told me that, while alive, he knew nothing about the scientific discoveries that would come into existence in the 500 years after his death. From the afterlife, he had followed the advances in knowledge and updated his teachings to include them. He whispered his provocative new teachings into my mind as I eagerly took notes on my laptop. Once you have considered them, the ideas presented in this book are self-evident. You only get one ride on Life's Carousel. One day your life will, unfortunately, end. On your deathbed, you do not want to look back on a life of wasted moments and unexplored possibilities. No matter how old you are or how long you expect to live, there is not a moment to waste. The purposes and meaning of life are in the living of it, moment by moment. On Ends and Means: The ends usually justify the means.On Evil: Is Machiavellianism just another name for "evil?" No. This book suggests that there is no such thing as "evil" and "Machiavellianism" is just a name for Machiavelli's ideas. The very concept of "evil" is a balloon full of hot, stale air, ready to pop at the tiniest pin-prick of rational thought.On Human Nature: Trust in human nature. Expect those around you to lie, sue, cheat, deceive, ridicule, criticize, double-deal, blackmail, injure, equivocate, obfuscate, and - occasionally - murder. Expect those around you to be lazy, late, immature, self-centered, slow to pay, short-sighted, and vain. Your opponents will not play fairly (and, probably, neither will you).On Leadership: Have you ever wondered how brilliant generals - like Caesar, Washington, or Grant - turn a series of defeats into a final triumphant victory? By leaving some of their soldiers to die on the battlefield while they themselves made their escape. Only those who survive their defeats have an opportunity to march in the victory parade later.On Luck: Luck is the shuffle of the cards. Luck is bird shit in your hair. Luck is the Lotto machine picking the numbers that you have been playing every week for five years - making you a millionaire. Luck is the Lotto machine picking your numbers - on the only day in five years that you forgot to buy your ticket. Luck is inadvertently running a stop sign at sixty miles per hour - when there is no cop around to write you a citation. Luck is inadvertently running a stop sign at sixty miles per hour - hitting a school bus filled with fourth-graders broadside.Corruption: Where corruption is possible, there corruption will be found.

The appearance of books such as Generation Me and The Narcissism Epidemic suggest a disturbing trend among today's adolescents. In both the popular and the professional literature, self-centeredness, preoccupation with social status, and overly ingratiating interpersonal tactics have garnered attention for how they may easily cross the line into the realm of antisocial behaviors such as aggression and violence. Clinical narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy have begun to emerge as particular targets of attention among researchers in various branches of psychology. Both narcissism and Machiavellianism in adult populations and have been found to be risk factors for a variety of antisocial behaviors, from entitlement and exploitation to self-absorption and defensive egotism to violent psychopathology. And yet other studies have the potentially socially adaptive outcomes associated with these constructs. Only more recently has an attempt been made to examine these constructs in children and adolescents. This book brings together international scholars who have begun to consider empirical questions related to narcissism and Machiavellianism in youth. Narcissism and Machiavellianism in Youth highlights how knowledge of both narcissism and Machiavellianism may influence problematic youth social interactions as well as youth adaptation to developmental contexts such as peer relationships. The book brings together for the first time scholars who have empirically examined the emotional, social, and behavioral correlates of these constructs in youth. Part I provides the context for understanding narcissism and Machiavellianism as potential risk and protective factors. Part II discusses the theory and existing evidence on youth narcissism as it relates to problematic behaviors, adaptive functioning, parenting, cultural context, and children's perception of their own competence. Part III discusses many of the same issues concerning Machiavellianism, with particular attention devoted to the emotional, behavioral, and social sequelae of Machiavellian tendencies for children. The volume concludes with thoughts on a tentative research agenda for possible clinical interventions at various developmental stages.

In this exciting new study, Don Dombowsky proposes that the foundation of Nietzsche's political thought is the aristocratic liberal critique of democratic society. But he claims that Nietzsche radicalizes this critique through a Machiavellian conversion, based on a reading of The Prince , adapting Machiavellian virtù (the shaping capacity of the legislator), and immoralism (the techniques applied in political rule), and that, consequently, Nietzsche is better understood in relation to the political ideology of the neo-Machiavellian elite theorists of his own generation.
