25-year old Ivy League transplant, Tal, ventured West wide-eyed and earnest in his desire to write. Instead, he found a real job, lost the real job, and is now adrift on floes of temp jobs. A shadow at the mercy of his stuntwoman-girlfriend, who looks to L. Ron Hubbard for her own answers, he steals a week to escape from L.A. to New Orleans where out of the serendipitous chaos of Mardi Gras his best friend from college appears. Land Morales is brilliantly mad, but despite a once inseparable friendship with Tal, the two have careened into altogether different orbits. The empty space between them is spanned only by Land's quixotic last words to Tal - that he was embarking on a search for a community. Thrown together again, they thrust the reader into a jaunt that bebops through the conundrum of identity and faith both have grappled with while attempting to ward off the terrific delirium tremens flush of the American Century.
From Power Sharing to Democracy examines the theoretical underpinnings of power sharing as a means of achieving sustainable democratic governance. Contributors examine key areas, including Afghanistan, Cyprus, Kosovo, Macedonia, and South Africa, where power-sharing constitutions and political institutions have been employed or proposed. They provide an in-depth exploration of consociationalism, under which the previously warring ethnic communities are guaranteed a proportionate share of political offices and protection of their vital interests, and federalism, which provides for substantial territorial autonomy in cases where the communities are territorially segregated.
Imagine the 100 metres run in 8.6 seconds flat... Imagine a benzeredine-fuelled game of ping-pong, the churning water of the freestyle relay or the soaring feats of the hammer throw... Imagine THE DRUG OLYMPICS, a sporting competition where athletes may and do take any substance they want in their quest to be first.
