What will the current global political order look like when
American unipolarity ends? Historically, the power configurations
of world political systems have been defined by four structures:
multipolarity, tripolarity, bipolarity, and unipolarity. These
concepts inform both the formulation and the analysis of short-term
policies and long-term, grand strategies of powerful actors in the
world political order and may be of profound importance to the
future peace and stability of the global system. The concept of
nonpolarity, however, has never been addressed as a possible or a
potential structural formulation in the nomenclature of global
political systems. This book provides a coherent conceptualization
of nonpolarity and how diplomacy will operate in a more collective
age, and fits into the ongoing discussion about the nature of the
political world order as we approach the end of the "American
century."

This book disputes the widely-held view of Edmund Burke as the
wellspring and the source of modern conservatism, arguing that
Burke's defense of the aristocratic order and his distinct
conservatism makes his political thought incompatible with the
visions of contemporary conservatism. Author presents a defense of
Burke's political philosophy against contemporary conservative
scholars who have revised the originality of Burke's thought in
order to mold him into a modern conservative. It is argued that
Burke's conservatism is embedded in his defense of the existing
institutions of the social order and his use of such conceptual
tools as historicism, tradition, prescription, and prudence to
justify this defense. Furthermore, author demonstrates the
revisionist tendencies of modern conservatives and their attempt to
marginalize Burke's appeal to the aristocratic order as an
intrinsic part of Burke's conservatism. Finally, the fundamental
differences between Burke's conservatism and those of the
revisionists are explored, demonstrating that Burke's conservatism
is antithetical to the claims of contemporary revisionists
conservatism.
Throughout history, the Latinx population has contributed
substantially to Nevada's mining, railroad, farming, ranching, and
tourism industries. Latinos in Nevada provides a comprehensive
analysis of this fastest-growing and diverse ethnic group,
exploring the impact of the Hispanic/Latinx population on the
Silver State in the past, present, and future. This extensive study
by a distinguished and multidisciplinary team of scholars discusses
the impact of the Latinx population from the early development of
the state of Nevada and highlights their roles in society, as well
as the specific implications of their growing presence in the
state. It also contemplates the future of the Latinx population and
the role they will continue to play in politics and the economy.
This in-depth examination of a large and relatively understudied
population will be of interest to scholars and students who study
disparities in health and education opportunities as well as the
political and economic climate among Latinos and other groups in
Nevada and beyond. A political, economic, and demographic profile,
this book: Explores the history, growth, and diversity of the
Latinx population. Draws on an array of census data, voter surveys,
statistics, interviews, and health, education, employment, wages,
and immigration statistics. Evaluates key trends in employment,
education, religion, and health. Analyses the dynamics of political
participation, including implications of a growing Latino political
electorate in a western swing state. Assesses key determinants of
health disparities, educational inequities, and civic engagement
among Latinos in the state. Demonstrates the impact of the Great
Recession of 2008 and provides a preliminary assessment of the
COVID-19 pandemic on Latino employment.
