"Linked by their histories of conflict, the burgeoning contemporary art scenes of Vietnam and Cambodia have not yet garnered significant global attention. In 'The City in Time,' Pamela Corey focuses on these artists and their contexts, suggesting alternative ways of understanding contemporary artistic practices within a region that lingers in international perceptions as perpetually 'post-war.'

Milan Zafirovski identifies and investigates the resurgence of capitalist dictatorship in contemporary society, especially after 2016. This book introduces the concept of capitalist dictatorship to the academic audience for the first time. It examines the capitalist dictatorship as a total social system composed of specific systems such as a coercive economy, repressive polity, illiberal civil society and irrational culture in contrast to liberal democracy. It also investigates multiple dimensions, forms and indicators of capitalist dictatorship, and calculates degrees of capitalist dictatorship for contemporary Western and comparable societies such as OECD countries. Capitalist dictatorship, including autocracy, Zafirovski argues, is the gravest threat to contemporary democratic society post-2016.
