Spengler’S “Magian” Classification Applied To An Unrecognized Ecumene: The Near East, 1500 To 0 Bce, David B. Richardson
Comparative Civilizations Review
My aim in the following discussion was to determine from the historical evidence that small group of ideas, metaphysical assumptions, and attitudes which made up the core of the Magian I psychological world-outlook. The latter two-thirds of the essay is devoted to this problem, while the first third is concerned with the evidence for the very existence in the first millennium B.C. of a Near Eastern worldview of the same order as that of Greece, Europe, China, and India.

The Twisted Mirror Of Perception: Social Science In Service Of Political/Ideological Expediency -- The Case Of Russian Eurasianism, Dimtry Shlapentokh
Comparative Civilizations Review
There are many reasons why certain creeds or phenomena from foreign countries remain unknown in the West. They could be almost totally ignored for decades before becoming interesting to the scholarly community and general public until, eventually, works about them become published by the leading presses.

Phoenicians: The Quickening Of Western Civilization, John C. Scott
Comparative Civilizations Review
A relatively recent field of inquiry, Phoenician and Punic studies covers much the same time and geographical areas as Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic Greek and Roman history.1 Adjacent fields include economic, business, writing, agricultural, nautical, and biblical history. Scholarship today is moving beyond the Hellenocentric and Romanocentric viewpoints and the record of Phoenician history is increasingly seen as critical for understanding European origins.

Reformulasi Model Penyuaraan Paska Pemilu Serentak 2019: Studi Evaluasi Sistem Proporsional Daftar Terbuka, Mokhammad Samsul Arif
Jurnal Wacana Politik
Indonesia telah berhasil menyelenggarakan Pemilihan Umum (Pemilu) Serentak sebagai pesta demokrasi terbesar didunia. Sayangnya, prestasi itu tereduksi oleh tragedi meninggalnya ratusan petugas KPPS. Disisi lain, efisiensi biaya penyelenggaraan Pemilu Serentak sebagai sebuah tujuan belum sepenuhnya tercapai, biaya Pemilu Serentak justru dikalkulasi lebih mahal dibanding Pemilu sebelumnya. Berangkat dari problematika tersebut, peneliti berusaha untuk mendalami fenomena meningkatnya korban jiwa penyelenggara Pemilu dari sisi kajian tata kelola sistem Pemilu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan basis data yang bersumber dari literatur, observasi dan pengalaman praktis peneliti. Dari hasil analisis data, peneliti menemukan konstruksi alternatif cara untuk memutus rantai kematian KPPS dengan mengubah …

Subjek “Yang-Politik”: Menafsir Subjek Politik Pada Pasca-Marxisme Ernesto Laclau, Luthfian Haekal
Jurnal Wacana Politik
Penelitian ini berusaha menguak pengartian subjek politik dalam pasca-Marxisme Ernesto Laclau. Subjek politik di dalam pasca-Marxisme direpresentasikan melalui subjek emansipatif yang akan membawa politik emansipasi. Melalui studi pustaka, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pengartian subjek politik dalam pasca-Marxisme sangat berbeda dengan Marxisme. Perdebatan-perdebatan ontologis antara Marxisme dan pasca-Marxisme, bahkan di tubuh pasca-Marxisme mengenai “subjek” tersaji di dalam artikel ini. Secara lebih spesifik, pasca-Marxisme Laclau memadukan budaya psikoanalisis Lacan dan pasca-strukturalisme Derrida. Hal tersebut berimplikasi pada pengubahan pengartian atas “subjek”. Tradisi psikoanalisis Lacan digunakan untuk mengartikan kerentanan subjek bahwa ia tidak pernah dalam keadaan penuh. Sementara, tradisi pasca-strukturalisme Derrida digunakan untuk melakukan …

Penerapan Pemilihan Pendahuluan Sebagai Upaya Menciptakan Pelembagaan Partai Politik Yang Demokratis, Ahmad Gelora Mahardika
Jurnal Wacana Politik
Partai politik di Indonesia terlihat kurang memiliki pola pencalonan calon presiden dan wakil presiden yang sistematis dan demokratis. Pengambilan keputusan cenderung terpaku pada kebijakan ketua umum partai politik. Hal ini menyebabkan calon yang diajukan oleh partai politik kerap tidak dikehendaki oleh konstituen. Beberapa partai politik mengatur hal tersebut dalam Anggaran Dasar/Anggaran Rumah Tangga, tetapi ketentuan tersebut tidak bisa berjalan maksimal dikarenakan aturan presidential threshold memaksa partai berkoalisi dalam mencalonkan calon presiden dan wakil presiden. Permasalahan ini bisa diatasi dengan penerapan pemilihan pendahuluan sebagaimana yang telah dilakukan beberapa negara demokratis seperti Amerika Serikat dan Perancis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meproyeksikan …

On The Need For Human Rights To Constitute Structural Change: Lessons For Colombia From The Arab Spring’S Failures, Anthony Chase
Biennial Conference: The Social Practice of Human Rights
Transitional processes have nowhere failed as spectacularly than in the wake of the Arab Spring's "revolutions." Contrary to popular expectations, these revolutions gave way to counter-revolutions rather than transitions to democracy and pluralistic politics. This article argues that, by settling for transitions to mere formal democracies, an opportunity was lost to engage in necessary structural change. While understandable that transitional processes shied away from addressing controversial issues -- including how to translate diversity in religious, gender, sexual, and ideological domains into the foundation of new political communities -- not doing so was a fatal error as it left untouched preexisting …

Counter-Diffusion: Does Russian Propaganda Wind Up In America?, Christopher F. Patane, Marc S. Polizzi
Biennial Conference: The Social Practice of Human Rights
Does the norm diffusion process work in reverse? Specifically, does the success of the Russian government in building counternarratives and counternorms to reinforce its authoritarian government mean they have the ability to diminish successful human rights advocacy in the United States? This project examines whether the rhetoric used to justify anti-LGBT policies in Russia are broadcast and adopted by anti-LGBT groups in the United States. In the United States, public support for LGBT civil rights is often cited as a success story in the adoption and diffusion of human rights norms. Often, this is used as evidence of broadening norm …

The Impacts Of Warming Coffee: The Climate Change-Coffee-Migration Nexus In The Northern Triangle Of Central America, Connor Lynch
Biennial Conference: The Social Practice of Human Rights
As climate change continues to threaten every corner of the world, millions of people find their livelihoods and food security at risk as a result of a warming planet. With their human right to livelihood and adequate nutrition at threat, some make the difficult decision to emigrate in search of economic security. The climate change-migration nexus is illustrated in this poster presentation which shows how slow-onset effects of climate change jeopardize the production of coffee in the Northern Triangle of Central America (NTCA), a region that is particularly vulnerable. Thousands of people who depend on coffee production around Guatemala, Honduras, …

Jurnal Wacana Politik
Parameter dominan dalam menilai kualitas pemilu di Indonesia selama ini merujuk pada keberhasilan substantif, yaitu kesetaraan, kebebasan, kejujuran, partisipasi, kompetisi, dan integritas.

Studi kasus kualitatif ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi pandangan pemilih dan panitia atas praktik semipemilihan elektronik (semi-e-voting) melalui penerapan Aplikasi Barcode Scanner pada Pemilihan Kepala Desa (Pilkades) 2019 di Kecamatan Poncokusumo, Kabupaten Malang. Hasilnya, pemilih dan panitia menilai kualitas pemilu tidak cukup bersandar pada ukuran kualitas substantif. Untuk itu, studi ini mendorong perspektif pelayanan publik atas pemilu.
