HOOVER INSTITUTION EXAMINES NATURE OF POLITICAL THEOLOGIES

Our Political Theologies
by Russell A. Berman via The Caravan
It has been seventeen years since the September 11 attacks, a defining moment not only for America but for our allies as well, and the response of one of them can help understand some of the underlying cultural aspects of contemporary political debate.  When the news reports spread through Paris, the initial reaction of profound shock quickly gave way to vigorous expressions of solidarity with the United States. “We are now all Americans” Le Monde declared famously. France, itself so often scarred by terrorism from the Middle East since the Algerian War, felt threatened as well, as painful national memories reemerged. 
The Three Blind Spots Of Politics

One of the shortest, simplest yet deepest books I have read on politics is The Three Languages of Politics by Arnold Kling.

MODI'S MOJO MISSING IN LATEST ELECTION & ISLAM IN INDIA:  POPULISM  AND DEMOCRACY EXAMINED

Religion And Politics In Lebanon: The Case Of A Christian 'Alliance' With Hezbollah
by Habib Malik via The Caravan
It may be somewhat inconvenient for the secular Western mind to acknowledge the fact that ultimate identity on both the personal and group levels in a place like the Middle East remains conceived primarily in religious terms.  If this is indeed a given, then it should hardly be surprising that religion and politics become intricately intertwined within and across both communities and states in the region.


Democracy, Populism, And Polytheism: Islam In India
by Aishwary Kumar via The Caravan
Extreme fascination with idols, statues, and names is widespread across South Asia and the ritualistic violence that accompanies such practices is neither modern nor singular to India, the region’s most doggedly democratic and unequivocally polytheistic country. In fact, until this past November, when the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled India’s colossal 182-meter high Statue of Unity, which now stands as the world’s highest monument to a revisionist history of nationalism, the record for height belonged to a more modest Buddhist statue in China, shorter than Modi’s populist gift to India by more than 100 feet.

A Missive From Harvey Mansfield
by Harvey C. Mansfield via Harvard Magazine
Kenan Professor of Government Harvey Mansfield wrote to this magazine in late November to share a story about the belated, posthumous publication of a dissertation he supervised 44 years ago—that of Delba Winthrop, Ph.D. ’74, who later became his wife. She takes up book three of Aristotle's Politics, on the subject of democracy, and the balance of the whole versus the parts, so fundamental to self-governance in a democratic society. A conference honoring the book takes place today at the Hoover Institution in Washington, D.C.

TEN YEARS AFTER MUMBAI MASSACRE & PROSPECTS FOR PEACE WITH CHINA (DIM)

12/6/2018

Picture
What is the likelihood for peace between the US and China? In the Journal of Chinese Political Science, Oriana Skylar Mastro discusses the likelihood of major conflict between a rising and an established power and evaluates whether the pessimism over US-China peace prospects is warranted. What does this mean for US policy toward China? Find out here. 

This week marked the 10th anniversary of the Mumbai bombings that killed 166 people. But instead of cracking down on the group responsible, Pakistan’s army continues to coddle it, notes Sadanand Dhume in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. The government’s desultory efforts to prosecute seven defendants has not yielded a single conviction. One of the group’s top jihadist even ran for office. If Pakistan is serious about repairing its ties with India, it should convict the men behind the 2018 attacks. Learn more here.
In a piece for the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Jessica Trisko Darden evaluates the new US strategy for counterterrorism’s implications for Southeast Asia. Trisko  Darden notes that the strategy recognizes the weakness of relying solely on military force, calls for increased effort to prevent terrorism through nonmilitary means, and identifies “radical Islamist terrorist groups” as the United States’ principal enemies. She warns that Southeast Asian governments should not expect radical change in US policy, but a creeping retrenchment. Learn more here.
