The Politician S Register

If a politician tells me its daytime, Im going to walk outside and check John Henry is an average American. He loves his family. Hes not rich or politically connected. Hes kept his nose clean, served in the military, votes and plays by the rules. He believes in this country and idolizes American heroes. He loves the American culture and freedom. He loves and respects those who have made the sacrifices for his freedoms. He believes in God and wishes the best for his fellow man. He respects the rights and privacy of all. He wonders what has happened to his country and the leaders we have previously elected. He wonders what has happened to the qualities of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. He wonders why our political leaders have failed us. He wonders why the government has declared war on him. For the first time, hes decided to fight back and voice his opinions about many things concerning the American politician and federal government. Hes mad as hell and hes not going to take it any longer!

One of the more dangerous contemporary threats to the quality of life is the collaboration of the political establishment with the criminal underworld - the political-criminal nexus (PCN). This active partnership increasingly undermines the rule of law, human rights, and economic development in many parts of the world. States in transition are especially at risk. Despite the magnitude of the threat, there is little understanding of the security threats by the PCNs and how and why political-criminal relationships are formed and maintained. Menace to Society is the first attempt to develop an analytical framework for making generalizations about this contemporary scourge. Case studies of Colombia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Italy, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia and Ukraine, and the United States by leading scholars and practitioners included here answer such key questions as: How do PCNs get established? How is a PCN maintained, and destroyed? What do the participants want from each other in a PCN? What can be learned from those who have successfully countered the PCN? The findings indicate that political, economic, and cultural factors play a significant role in the formation and evolution of PCNs. When the institutions of the state are weak, as in Nigeria and Colombia, it is difficult for the state to prevent political-criminal collaboration. A lack of checks and balances, either from civil society or opposition political parties such as described in the cases of Mexico and Russia, is a key factor. Cultural patterns tend to facilitate this kind of collaboration. Markets and economics, too, bear on the PCN issue. The supply and demand for illegal goods and services, not only drugs, in many countries creates a market controlled by criminals who need political help to "run" their business. Menance to Society will be critical reading for security planners, foreign and military policymakers, and political scientists.

The age of princes has passed, but the age of politicians is at its heights. So is Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince any less relevant? No. But it needs an update, to reflect the political realities of our times. That is the purpose of this groundbreaking manuscript—a guide to success in contemporary politics, where the democratically-elected politician has assumed the role of the classical prince. Here is revealed how a politician must act if she wants to be successful, how she must plot her every move, whether dealing with colleagues, constituents, family members, bureaucrats, lobbyists or the media. Indeed, this manuscript is unique, for it exposes at a level of detail never seen before the inner workings of the mind of the contemporary politician. And while it may prove an asset to aspiring politicians, its frank and honest nature will no doubt strike fear in the hearts of incumbent politicians as it sheds light on their motives, intentions, and aspirations.

A thorough investigation of the changing link between technology, especially computer science, and politics is provided in Pixels and Politicians: Examining the Impact of Computer Science on Political Campaigns. This book aims to decipher the complex web that links technology, politics, and society in an age dominated by digital breakthroughs and the growing impact of social media. Politicians now communicate with voters, design messages, and win elections in whole new ways as a result of the fusion of computer science and politics. Campaign tactics, fundraising methods, voter targeting, and even policy drafting have all undergone revolutionary changes as a result of the unparalleled availability to data and the development of powerful algorithms.

The six volumes LNCS 11619-11624 constitute the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2019, held in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in July 2019. The 64 full papers, 10 short papers and 259 workshop papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected form numerous submissions. The 64 full papers are organized in the following five general tracks: computational methods, algorithms and scientific applications; high performance computing and networks; geometric modeling, graphics and visualization; advanced and emerging applications; and information systems and technologies. The 259 workshop papers were presented at 33 workshops in various areas of computational sciences, ranging from computational science technologies to specific areas of computational sciences, such as software engineering, security, artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies.
