TL;DR: According to Michael Barkun, many white supremacist groups of the radical right are deeply committed to the distinctive but little-recognized religious position known as Christian Identity as discussed by the authors, and the role of Christian Identity figures in the dramatic events of the first half of the 1990s, from the Oklahoma City bombing to the rise of the militia movement to the Freemen standoff in Montana.
Abstract: According to Michael Barkun, many white supremacist groups of the radical right are deeply committed to the distinctive but little-recognized religious position known as Christian Identity. In ""Religion and the Racist Right"" (1994), Barkun provided an exploration of the ideological and organizational development of the Christian Identity movement. In this revised edition, he traces the role of Christian Identity figures in the dramatic events of the first half of the 1990s, from the Oklahoma City bombing to the rise of the militia movement to the Freemen standoff in Montana. It also explores the government's evolving response to these challenges to the legitimacy of the state.

TL;DR: LaPalombara et al. as discussed by the authors present a collection of essays on political parties, focusing on the conditions facilitating the development of political parties and the impact of parties on political development.
Abstract: This trilogy on political parties involves developmental and comparative analysis across nations, across time, and across parties. The excellent volume edited by LaPalombara and Weiner contains essays on European parties by Hans Daalder, Giovanni Sartori, Otto Kirchheimer, and Stein Rokkan; on American parties by William N. Chambers and Morton Grodzins; on Middle Eastern parties by Dankwart A. Rustow and Leonard Binder; and on African parties by Immanuel Wallerstein and Rupert Emerson. Lucian W. Pye contributes a general essay on Asian party systems, and Robert E. Scott does the same for Latin America. LaPalombara and Weiner open and close the collection with attempted theoretical statements, first on the conditions facilitating the development of political parties and then on the impact of parties on political development. For the editors the concept political development "remains elusive," but what they mainly have in mind is the notion, already adumbrated by Lipset, Almond, Pye, and others, that political development involves a political system passing through crises-crises of identity, legitimacy, integration, participation, distribution, and so forth. Speculating about how some of these systemic crises may have affected the development of political parties provides, to some extent, the major thread for the contributions to this collection of essays. Still, the essays are highly eclectic. Daalder's paper contains a delightful comment on elitist theories; Sartori's pole-vaulting is exhilarating, and this essay provides a good, hard-headed argument for retaining in the comparative analysis of parties an emphasis on "structural and procedural engineering"; Kirchheimer presents a very thoughtful functional approach; and Grodzins demonstrates the limitations of focusing on party cleavage and consensus for explanations of political change. Rokkan's paper, my nomination for the best of the bunch, contains some very interesting empirical data on Norwegian parties and a ukase which strikes me as the best advice in the book: "Only through . .

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that human rights have a common ground in one basic moral right, the right to justification, and that human beings' claim to be respected as agents who have the right not to be subjected to certain actions or institutional norms that cannot be adequately justified to them.
Abstract: Human Rights are a complex phenomenon, comprising an array of different aspects. They have a moral life, expressing urgent human concerns and claims that must not be violated or ignored; they also have a legal life, being enshrined in national constitutions and in international declarations; and they have a political life, expressing standards of basic political legitimacy. For a comprehensive philosophical account of human rights, all of these aspects are essential and need to be integrated. Yet when doing so one must not overlook the central social-political aspect of human rights, namely that when and where they have been claimed, it has been because the individuals concerned suffered from and protested against forms of oppression and/or exploitation that they believed disregarded their dignity as human beings. Human rights are first and foremost weapons in combating certain evils that human beings inflict upon one another; they emphasize standards of treatment that no human being could justifiably deny to others. My thesis in what follows is that if this is correct, it implies – reflexively speaking – that one claim underlies all human rights, namely human beings’ claim to be respected as agents who have the right not to be subjected to certain actions or institutional norms that cannot be adequately justified to them. In other words, human rights have a common ground in one basic moral right, the right to justification.
