Cyril Loukaris (1570-1638), Orthodox patriarch of Alexandria and later of Constantinople, is a fascinating and controversial figure. In addition to being a religious authority, the patriarch proved to be a first-rate politician and diplomat, capable of weaving a vast network of relationships. An acute mediator between cultures, he was a prominent intellectual of his time. The volume, the first of its kind in Italy, collects contributions from scholars of different disciplines, which bring out the multiplicity of cultural and geopolitical plans and areas in which the “Protestant” patriarch Loukaris carried out his activity. For the variety of approaches and areas examined, the essays reflect the many-sided nature of this figure, of which an unpublished sermon and related documents from the Moscow State Archives are published.

What happens when a former liberation movement turned political party loses its dominance but survives because no opposition party is able to succeed it? The trends are established: South Africa's African National Congress (ANC) is in decline. Its hegemony has been weakened, its legitimacy diluted. President Cyril Ramaphosa's appointment suspended the ANC's electoral decline, but it also heightened internal organisational tensions between those who would deepen its corrupt and captured status, and those who would redeem it. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened its fragility, and the state's inability to manage the socio-economic devastation has aggravated prior faultlines. These are the undeniable knowns of South African politics; what will evolve from this is less certain.

In this book, Susan Booyen delves deep into this political terrain and its trajectory for South Africa's future. She covers an expansive range of topics, from contradictory party politics and dissent that is veiled in order to retain electoral following, to populist policy-making and the use of soft law enforcement to ensure that angry citizens do not become further alienated. Booysen's analysis reveals Ramaphosa to be a president who is weak and walking a tightrope between serving the needs of the organisation and those of the nation.

This incisive analysis of ANC power 'as party, as government, as state' will appeal not only to political scientists but to all who take a keen interest in current affairs.

"You've probably seen me on TV; America's most controversial forensic science expert. For the past 60 years, I have been speaking out about horrible things that I have seen happen to everyday people: murders, childhood deaths, tragic accidents, and police brutality, to name some. My expertise has also been called upon in death cases with a high media profile including those of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Elvis Presley, JonBenét Ramsey, Laci Peterson, and others. But in addition to offering testimony in and commentary on many fascinating and famous cases, I have also appeared in court as a high-profile defendant, a fact that gave me an insider's look at another side of American justice. And I learned some harsh lessons about ruthlessness and opportunism, not only in my hometown of Pittsburgh, but at the hands of politically partisan officials of the U.S. government. Not many people are willing to go to the mat in a fight with the Feds. The power they have to apply pressure to get a "guilty" plea from a defendant is overwhelming. The public must know that, when individuals dare to stand up to the authorities, whether it's a local DA, a U.S. Attorney, or an agent of the FBI, these people, if sufficiently provoked, with support from their institutions, can and will set out to get you"--
