This open access book examines the various ways that shame, shaming and stigma became an integral part of the United Kingdom's public health response to COVID-19 during 2020. As the Covid-19 pandemic unfolded in 2020, it quickly became clear that experiences of shame, shaming and stigma dominated personal and public life. From healthcare workers insulted in the streets to anti-Asian racism, the online shaming of "Covidiots" to the identification of the "lepers of Leicester", public animus about the pandemic found scapegoats for its frustrations. Interventions by the UK government maximised rather than minimized these phenomena. Instead of developing robust strategies to address shame, the government's healthcare policies and rhetoric seemed to exacerbate experiences of shame, shaming and stigma, relying on a language and logic that intensified oppositional, antagonistic thinking, while dissimulating about its own responsibilities. Through a series of six case studies taken from the events of 2020, this thought-provoking book identifies a systemic failure to manage shame-producing circumstances in the UK. Ultimately, it addresses the experience of shame as a crucial, if often overlooked, consequence of pandemic politics, and advocates for a "shame sensitive" approach to public health responses.

In this open access book, Kofi Anani finds ways forward through the Blended Representation Principle (BRP), which stipulates that power be shared between leaders selected on the basis of Western-democratic ideals and leaders chosen on the basis of traditional African norms and conventions. Drawing on his research and professional experience, Anani shows how incorporating the BRP into African leadership and governance thinking would encourage more voluntary public participation in politics, guarantee transparency and accountability in decision-making, particularly when it comes to the use of public resources, and ultimately encourage more public confidence in leaders. Anani also provides concrete suggestions for how to achieve all this, not through quick fixes, but rather through educational campaigns directed at public officials and through new communities of learning and practice designed to champion the BRP in villages, schools, workplaces, places of worship, and other social organizations. This book is a must-read for all scholars and students of postcolonial governance and leadership, and it is of keen interest to anyone concerned with how Western-style state-making might ultimately find a balance with other, indigenous modes of social organization.

Het spel van de macht kent een nieuwe meester. Zijn naam: Xi Jinping. Als China's machtigste man sinds Mao vormt hij de wereld naar zijn hand. Wat weten we van hem? Bijna niets. 'De Nieuwe Keizer' onthult het verborgen verhaal van Xi's opkomst en heerschappij. Schrijver Ties Dams laat de lezer diep in de ogen kijken van een van de grootste politieke spelmeesters van vandaag. Hij onthult het geheim achter Xi's macht en legt uit hoe de Chinese leider onze plek in de wereld bepaalt. In Xi's leven komen de millennialange draden die door China's beschaving lopen samen - van orde naar harmonie, van Confucius tot Lenin, van de Oude naar de Nieuwe Zijderoute. De anonieme Chinese staatsmachine krijgt in 'De Nieuwe Keizer' een gezicht. Wie Xi bekijkt, zo blijkt, ziet het diepste weefsel van de mondiale macht.
