AbstractThis Article explores both theoretically and historically the core features of authoritarian adjudication. It attempts to offer an ideal type of what could mean a full assertion of authoritarianism in the context of adjudication. It aims to do so by first highlighting the value of insights that critical legal history can bring to the current discussion of populism. Second, it explores the paradigm of the exception that it aims to revise and ground in a historical analysis of the interwar period. Third, it considers the intellectual and practical lines of continuity between current reactions to the pandemic and the historical role of the military in modernity by drawing on the example of Romania. In a final part, it provides a reflection on the confusion between law, politics, and military concerns as a specific feature of modern authoritarianism.

The Military

The relationship between science and politics is not singular. In this article we focus on the thermonuclear revolution that resulted in dramatic changes to modern knowledge economies. During the 1950s and early 1960s the production of scienti c knowledge was increasingly militarized and a general trend in the role of knowledge providers – away from the sage or intellectual and towards the expert – was accelerated. ere were, however, countertrends. We describe how some of the most signi cant and thoroughgoing critique of the nuclear age was formulated on the margins of or outside the academic world by a group of thinkers (that we term nuclear realists). For these thinkers, the thermonuclear revolution became the catalyst for new visions of global politics that sought to undermine and transgress the ideological rationale behind national security and the establishment of the military-industrial complex, particularly in the United States. Although the historical analysis of the thermonuclear revolution constitutes an extreme case, it harbours signi cant chal- lenges in relation to the nexus between politics, scienti c knowledge and global politics.

The denial of the institutionalization of political power by various civilian as well as martial law regimes has been a constant problem in Pakistan. Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the first person who could do so in an effective manner, but his eternal departure in the early phase of the history of Pakistan changed the entire course of the country, and the successor leadership had to pursue self-serving politics just to prolong their rule. The same is the case with the rule of General Pervaiz Musharraf (1999-2008), which converted the parliamentary system envisaged by the 1973 constitution of Pakistan into a quasi-presidential system just to prolong the military dictatorship. The subsequent rule of the Pakistan Peoples' Party (2008-2013) was a tough period for the political leadership since the preceding dictatorship had completely altered the socio-political landscape of the country; however, the political wisdom of Mr. Asif Ali Zardari helped the country to sail smoothly during the aftershocks of the martial law regime. In that perspective, the current study intends to analyze the political developments in Pakistan during the third rule of the Pakistan Peoples' Party over the country during the period 2008-2013.

Core Features

This chapter describes the core features of life cycle models of organizational change. These models of change are also referred to as regulated, mandated, prescribed, imposed, logically necessary, or prefigured in advance of their execution. Life-cycle models do not imply that an actor must passively comply with mandated changes; actors may be proactive individuals who adapt to their environments and make use of rules to accomplish their purposes. The strengths, challenges, and stages of life cycle models are examined, and future developments advancing life cycle models by considering the role of choice and of multiple forms of agency are advocated.

Core Features

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss of expression of the paternally inherited genes on chromosome 15q11.2-q13. However, the core features of PWS have been attributed to a critical interval (PWS-cr) within the 15q11.2-q13 imprinted gene cluster, containing the small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) SNORD116 and non-coding RNA IPW (Imprinted in Prader-Willi) exons. SNORD116 affects the transcription profile of hundreds of genes, possibly via DNA methylation or post-transcriptional modification, although the exact mechanism is not completely clear. IPW on the other hand has been shown to specifically modulate histone methylation of a separate imprinted locus, the DLK1-DIO3 cluster, which itself is associated with several neurodevelopmental disorders with similarities to PWS. Here we review what is currently known of the molecular targets of SNORD116 and IPW and begin to disentangle their roles in contributing to the Prader-Willi Syndrome phenotype.

As If

The Qur'an speaks of human beings as closely associated with the laws of history. Many verses contain a suggestion to human about the role of history. Humans have to adjust the provisions that have been established on the facts and reality that clear and complete. Conditions set by God is a "dying" for a society / nation. The people can get the victory, but also can suffer defeat. "....if you get injured (in battle), verily others (enemies) also received a similar injury. The days of the victory, We (God) shifts (the victory) among men". (Qur'an, Ali Imran, 3: 140). Qur'an as if to say: do not fancy that God's victory is a right reserved for humans, (know) the victory is natural for human rights, for anyone who has met the requirements to achieve the win according to the laws of history and in accordance with the provisions of Allah (the laws) are applied in reality, not just theory syar'i. Winning and losing is a discussion about the man with all the dynamics. Even the Qur'an highlights the human society that is more clean and pure to appear in the stage of history to win the war, despite all the engineering and deceit, intimidation and torture. The truth will still prevail. The Qur'an reminds destruction, if they are not able to take a role in the dynamics of history, and not capable of taking the minutes of the Lord in playing its historical role. Legal history will show that the community / nation who are unable to carry out the minutes of the Lord will soon sink, then counter posed other nations that have prepared themselves with superior capabilities, so as to play a historical role as a witness of human civilization. The ordinance of God shows the linkage between victory and success, if the fulfillment of the requirements and able to achieve it.

This paper offers a review and conceptual reflection on fears about the Muslim pres ence and lack of inclusion into Western European societies and the core features of criticisms of multiculturalism. It does so by first addressing the misreadings of Islam and multiculturalism in influential works by Christopher Caldwell and Paul Scheffer. It then addresses the main points of their critiques by examining the role of the state in Muslim incorporation, framing multicultur alism theoretically in terms of claims-making, and offering evidence of the ways in which Muslim claims-making has occurred.

Core Features

This chapter details three theories of the core features of BPD. Linehan has emphasized emotion dysregulation, while Gunderson has focused on problematic attachment. Zanarini has offered a complex model of borderline psychopathology that stresses the interaction between an innate hyperbolic temperament and a kindling event or series of events that results in a full-blown case of BPD. The empirical evidence for environmental factors relevant to the etiology of BPD is also reviewed. The results of studies of adverse childhood experiences are reviewed in detail. The role of separations and losses, disturbed parental involvement, and frank abuse and neglect are each reviewed in detail. The chapter then explores the etiology of the symptom areas of BPD, with both environmental factors and biological factors being considered.

The article is based on the results of a study of Russian citizens’ perception of their country. More than 500 in-depth interview and nearly the same number of projective tests from 15 Russian regions became the basis for political-psychological analysis. These data enabled to identify the core features of Russia’s image in Russian mentality. This image includes reflections of authorities, leaders, the population, territory and the international role of the country in the country’s perception. The results confirm the conclusion that territorial expansionism is not typical for Russians. Authorities’ perception is an important component of the country’s image. Citizens' mistrust to the state was revealed. This allows us to suggest that Russian society still has not overcome the negative processes that started in the 1980s and led to a serious complex of “national inferiority” in the post-Soviet period.

In 1976, Derrick Bell, a former lawyer for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, wrote about the inability of modern civil rights litigation to advance real racial justice. His willingness to dissent from civil rights orthodoxy would radically reshape the study of race, law, and history. The result would lead to the creation of critical race theory. This chapter begins by examining the role of historical analysis in the development of critical race theory. It then explores how legal historians of the civil rights movement imported insights from critical race theory to develop three decades of movement scholarship. Next, it charts new scholarly directions for both critical race theorists and legal historians. The chapter concludes with reflections on how legal history and critical race theory have influenced contemporary struggles for racial justice.
