| Summary/Abstract |
The debate between contemporary cosmopolitans and advocates of nationalism is hardly new. Nevertheless, much of it is based on the erroneous assumption that cosmopolitanism should be seen as an outgrowth of liberalism, and that both should be considered as the complete conceptual opposites of nationalism. In this article I focus on two of the post-war Jewish anglophile intellectuals who took part in this debate during the Cold War years: the Oxonian liberal philosopher Sir Isaiah Berlin (1909-97) and the Israeli historian Jacob L. Talmon (1916-80). I use their examples to argue that the dividing line between cosmopolitans and advocates of nationalism should not be regarded as signifying the distinction between liberals and anti-liberals; in fact, this debate also took place within the camp of the liberal thinkers themselves. I divide my discussion into three parts. Firstly, I examine Berlin's and Talmon's positions within the post-war anti-totalitarian discourse, which came to be known as 'liberalism of fear'. Secondly, I show how a sense of Jewish identity, combined with deep Zionist convictions, induced both thinkers to divorce anti-nationalist cosmopolitanism - which they regarded as a hollow, illusionary ideal associated with impossible assimilationist yearnings - from the liberal idea. I conclude by suggesting that, although neither man had ever developed a systematic theoretical framework to deal with the complex interactions between ethno-nationalism, liberal individualism and multiculturalism, Berlin's vision of pluralism provides the foundations for building such a theory, in which liberalism and nationalism become complementary rather than conflicting notions.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this essay, I review the argument of Patricia Owens stellar new book, Between War and Politics. Specifically, I engage with, although am skeptical of, her claim that that the current detention camps founded and governed by the United States in the global war on terror are dissimilar to those founded and governed by Germany in the Holocaust

| Summary/Abstract |
In his essay on Arendt's "antiprimitivism," Jimmy Casas Klausen partly agrees
with scholars such as Anne Norton and Norma Claire Moruzzi who suggest
that especially the discussion of "Hottentots" in The Origins of Totalitarianism
is replete with racial prejudice.
1
Yet, to the extent that racial explanations cannot fully account for why and how Arendt also targets "Boers," Klausen argues,
these criticisms are lacking. He contends that what is ultimately the problem is
Arendt's antiprimitivist notion of culture that chastises Boers for their indolence and turns Hottentots into barely human primitives without history. In
what follows, I take issue with this characterization of Arendt as an antiprimitivist situated in the German tradition of culture as Bildung. Arendt's essays
on culture, which Klausen cites to support his argument, actually include several criticisms of this tradition. More importantly, it is hard to maintain this
charge of antiprimitivism given that these essays, in line with the arguments in
The Human Condition, raise serious concerns about using the realm of cultural
production as a yardstick of humanity.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper argues that negotiation and accommodation between the state and the media, with the latter having gained more bargaining power, should be considered in assessing the transformation of the Chinese media. It examines the discourses of media professionals on the coverage of the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake to reveal how they seized the opportunity presented by the well-received breakthrough in the coverage of the earthquake to bargain with the state for more autonomy. The purpose of the examination is three-fold. First, what drove the Chinese state media such as CCTV to risk breaking regulations? Secondly, how did the Central Government respond to the media-led breakthrough? Answers to these questions prepare the ground for the final one, and that is, how do media professionals bargain with the state for more autonomy?

| Summary/Abstract |
This essay examines Arendt's descriptions of "Hottentots" in The Origins of Totalitarianism , especially the comparisons and contrasts she frequently draws between Hottentots and other peoples. In particular, Arendt highlights dehumanization of presumptively "civilized" people in comparing them to African "savages." Close reading of such analogies demands that we look beyond the racial explanations that other scholars have offered and focus instead on how Arendt's conception of humanity is bound up with a specific sense of culture that is antiprimitivist-exclusive of peoples without history, primitives. Analysis of her moral anthropology uncovers the Cape Colony discourses and postenlightenment German philosophical supports that inform her antiprimitivism. However, Arendt's antiprimitivism may not remain confined to Origins. In later essays, Arendt analyzes the various aspects of culture in instructive ways.Yet she also synthesizes culture concepts into a schema that introduces problems for her.

| Summary/Abstract |
The resurgence of interest in the concept of political religions and its various ideological and institutional facets gained a significant impetus with Emilio Gentile's contribution to the field. However, Gentile's conceptual construction has not yet been applied specifically to the study of Kemalism as the predominant doctrine of Turkey's transformation from an empire into a nation?state. This essay is based on the assumption that such an approach is possible and evaluates theoretically the applicability of Gentile's definitions of political religions and totalitarianism within the Turkish context of change as shaped under the principles of Kemalism in the first part of the 20th century.

| Summary/Abstract |
A specter is haunting the academy-the specter of "new communism." A worldview recently the source of immense suffering and misery, and responsible for more deaths than fascism and Nazism, is mounting a comeback; a new form of left-wing totalitarianism that enjoys intellectual celebrity but aspires to political power.

| Summary/Abstract |
IN FEBUARY 2013, Senator Rand Paul delivered a speech at the Heritage Foundation. It was called “Restoring the Founders’ Vision of Foreign Policy.” In it Paul sought to outline a fresh foreign-policy path for the Republican Party, which was tepidly beginning to debate the limits of intervention abroad. At the outset Paul declared, “I see the world as it is. I am a realist, not a neoconservative, nor an isolationist.” He argued that radical Islam posed a threat to the United States but that the best way to defang it wasn’t to engage in permanent wars in the Middle East.
