ellen kounalakis: Madam Ambassador Eleni Kounalakis, 2015-05-05 A helicopter ride to visit troops in the Afghanistan war zone, a tense meeting with the newly elected Prime Minister, and…a wild boar hunt! Eleni Kounalakis was forty-three and a land developer in Sacramento, California, when she was tapped by President Barack Obama to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Hungary under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. During her tenure, from 2010 to 2013, Hungary was a key ally in the U.S. military surge, held elections in which a center-right candidate gained a two-thirds supermajority and rewrote the country's constitution, and grappled with the rise of Hungarian nationalism and anti-semitism. The first Greek-American woman ever to serve as a U.S. ambassador, Kounalakis recounts her training at the State Department's “charm school” and her three years of diplomatic life in Budapest—from protocols about seating, salutations, and embassy security to what to do when the deposed King of Greece hands you a small chocolate crown (eat it, of course!). A cross between a foreign policy memoir and an inspiring personal family story—her immigrant Greek father went from agricultural day laborer to land developer and major Democratic party activist—Madam Ambassador draws back the curtain on what it is like to represent the U.S. government abroad as well as how American embassies around the world function. |
ellen kounalakis: Demokratia Josiah Ober, Charles Hedrick, 2021-03-09 This book is the result of a long and fruitful conversation among practitioners of two very different fields: ancient history and political theory. The topic of the conversation is classical Greek democracy and its contemporary relevance. The nineteen contributors remain diverse in their political commitments and in their analytic approaches, but all have engaged deeply with Greek texts, with normative and historical concerns, and with each others' arguments. The issues and tensions examined here are basic to both history and political theory: revolution versus stability, freedom and equality, law and popular sovereignty, cultural ideals and social practice. While the authors are sharply critical of many aspects of Athenian society, culture, and government, they are united by a conviction that classical Athenian democracy has once again become a centrally important subject for political debate. The contributors are Benjamin R. Barber, Alan Boegehold, Paul Cartledge, Susan Guettel Cole, W. Robert Connor, Carol Dougherty, J. Peter Euben, Mogens H. Hansen, Victor D. Hanson, Carnes Lord, Philip Brook Manville, Ian Morris, Martin Ostwald, Kurt Raaflaub, Jennifer Tolbert Roberts, Barry S. Strauss, Robert W. Wallace, Sheldon S. Wolin, and Ellen Meiksins Wood. |
ellen kounalakis: The Brutality of Tyrants Dr. M.E. Fayad PHD, In The Brutality of Tyrants, Dr. Mohamed Fayad recounts his journey through systemic injustice, racism, and corruption that profoundly impacted both his personal and professional life. His story extends beyond individual experiences, revealing public issues affecting millions of American citizens today. Dr. Fayad’s experiences within academia, healthcare, and financial institutions illustrate how individuals and systems have not only marginalized him but continue to suppress countless others. Facing deliberate negligence, exclusion, and even threats to his life, Dr. Fayad’s narrative highlights the devastating impact of institutional oppression on everyday citizens. This book is not intended to offend any person, institution, group, political party, government, or country. Rather, it is Dr. Fayad’s means of reporting his own experiences, with the hope that recounting these injustices will prevent them from happening to others. His account critiques the failure of justice in America, particularly for marginalized individuals, and underscores the urgent need for reforms across multiple sectors within the nation. The Brutality of Tyrants serves as both a personal memoir and a broader critique of institutional oppression, issuing a strong call for accountability and change in what Dr. Fayad describes as one of the greatest nations on Earth. Through his narrative, he urges readers to confront the corruption and inequality that persist in America, hoping to inspire a collective push toward a fairer, more transparent system for all. |
ellen kounalakis: Don't Shoot the Journalists Peter Laufer, 2025-05-06 Practicing journalism is dangerous. Until the wars in Ukraine and Gaza broke out, Mexico continued to rank as the deadliest locale for reporters, with too many other countries close behind, including Afghanistan, Syria, India, and the Philippines. More journalists have been killed in Gaza since October 2023 than during the entirety of World War II and the numbers of journalists killed, injured, or exiled from both Russia and Ukraine since the Russian invasion in 2021 continues to grow. The University of Oregon staged the “Extra! Extra! Refugee Journalists become the Story—Migrating to Stay Alive” conference in April 2024 with expert guest speakers: refugee journalists, academic experts, and others who specialize in exiled journalist issues and threats to journalists and free expression. The symposium brought Mexican refugee journalists in exile to the University of Oregon campus for keynote speeches followed by workshops with other experts in the fields of freedom of expression and threats to journalists. These workshops led to student field work during the conference dates, work regarding how the crises examined during the conference impact tools used by immigrants to obtain news from their countries of origin. The material generated during the symposium plus ancillary reportage fuels the critical stories and conclusions told in the book Don’t Shoot the Journalists. |

ellen kounalakis: Freedom Isn't Free Markos Kounalakis, 2022-02-01 Freedom Isn’t Free takes an analytical look at political, economic, social and moral trade-offs in a world in flux. Highly readable and very accessible, the volume’s collected foreign affairs essays are wide-ranging and engaging—from manageable regional issues to dramatic geopolitical tensions—presented not as distant complexities, but as relatable events. Freedom Isn’t Free provides a strategic guide to some of the most important—sometimes intractable—issues of the day. It pays special attention to superpower America's role in contemporary geopolitics and her shifting policy options given leadership, competition, domestic governing challenges and self-inflicted nativism. Unlike most International Relations texts, Freedom Isn’t Free investigates actual, contemporary themes that nest political theory within the arguments and analyses of the collected essays, privileging liberal state systems and citizens’ individual liberties. |
ellen kounalakis: International Relations, Music and Diplomacy Frédéric Ramel, Cécile Prévost-Thomas, 2018-01-22 This volume explores the interrelation of international relations, music, and diplomacy from a multidisciplinary perspective. Throughout history, diplomats have gathered for musical events, and musicians have served as national representatives. Whatever political unit is under consideration (city-states, empires, nation-states), music has proven to be a component of diplomacy, its ceremonies, and its strategies. Following the recent acoustic turn in IR theory, the authors explore the notion of “musical diplomacies” and ask whether and how it differs from other types of cultural diplomacy. Accordingly, sounds and voices are dealt with in acoustic terms but are not restricted to music per se, also taking into consideration the voices (speech) of musicians in the international arena. Read an interview with the editors here: https://www.sciencespo.fr/ceri/en/content/international-relations-music-and-diplomacy-sounds-and-voices-international-stage |
ellen kounalakis: How the Internet Happened: From Netscape to the iPhone Brian McCullough, 2018-10-23 A Library Journal Best Book of the Year Tech-guru Brian McCullough delivers a rollicking history of the internet, why it exploded, and how it changed everything. The internet was never intended for you, opines Brian McCullough in this lively narrative of an era that utterly transformed everything we thought we knew about technology. In How the Internet Happened, he chronicles the whole fascinating story for the first time, beginning in a dusty Illinois basement in 1993, when a group of college kids set off a once-in-an-epoch revolution with what would become the first “dotcom.” Depicting the lives of now-famous innovators like Netscape’s Marc Andreessen and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, McCullough also reveals surprising quirks and unknown tales as he tracks both the technology and the culture around the internet’s rise. Cinematic in detail and unprecedented in scope, the result both enlightens and informs as it draws back the curtain on the new rhythm of disruption and innovation the internet fostered, and helps to redefine an era that changed every part of our lives. |
ellen kounalakis: How Monetary Policy Got Behind the Curve—and How to Get Back Michael D. Bordo, John B. Taylor, John H. Cochrane, 2023-03-01 With the inflation rate in the United States and many other countries on the rise for over a year and nearing double digits, the Hoover Institution hosted its 2022 conference on monetary policy. Policy makers, market participants, and academic researchers gathered to discuss the situation. Many agreed that low interest rates and high money growth were inappropriate given the high inflation rate and evidence that the United States has recovered from the deep recession induced by the pandemic and its policy response in 2020. The thoughtful papers and the thorough discussions in this volume of conference proceedings illustrate the debate about the reasons for this mismatch, as well as how to get back on track. They reflect a range of opinions and perspectives, including examination of the fiscal shock resulting from the COVID pandemic and the related borrowing and spending; emphasis on the value of adherence to rules versus discretion in setting Fed policy; lessons from history in the spikes in federal expenditures during times of war (including the pandemic) and in the timing of the Fed's use of its policy instruments; the role of central banks in the emerging inflation crisis; and strategies toward disinflation. |

ellen kounalakis: Nagykövet asszony Kounalakis, Eleni, 2015-07-17 Exkluzív interjú Eleni Kounalakis-szal Rendkívüli várokozás előzi meg Eleni Kounalakis, az Egyesült Államok volt budapesti nagykövete könyvének magyarországi megjelenését. A Nagykövet asszony jött, látott és megírta a 2010 és 2013 között szerzett tapasztalatait, élményeit, személyes véleményét, azt is, amit szolgálati ideje alatt nagykövetként nem tehetett meg. Beszámol a nagykövetté válásának folyamatáról, családi indíttatásáról, Budapestre érkezése utáni benyomásairól, a diplomáciai lét kulisszatitkairól, tárgyalásairól az ország vezetőivel, a díszvacsorákról, a sikeres küldetését elősegítő fortélyokról, és a kihívásokról, amelyekkel folyamatosan szembesülni kellett. Szolgálati idejének meghatározó része az az időszak volt, amit az emberek „Orbán Viktor kétharmados forradalmának” neveznek. Szerinte Magyarország olyan bonyolult ország, hogy ha az ember egyszer bensőséges kapcsolatot létesít vele, hajlamos kötődni hozzá. Úgy véli, egyetlen más ország sem nyújthatta volna számára a szépség, a különlegesség, az izgalom, a tehetetlen düh, a kihívások és az öröm ilyen keverékét. |

ellen kounalakis: A hatalom megszállottja Stefano Bottoni, 2023-06-05 Ez a könyv Magyarország utolsó négy évtizedét mutatja be Orbán Viktor életrajzán keresztül, aki mindenki másnál mélyebb nyomot hagyott a jelenkori magyar történelemre. 1989 óta Magyarország egyedi pályát futott be Közép-Európában: egy tökéletlenül működő, de teljes értékű demokráciát cserélt le egy folyamatosan radikalizálódó, tekintélyelvű rendszerre. Ez a mű nemcsak összehasonlító történelmi elemzés, hanem számvetés és látlelet Orbán Viktor rendszeréről és mindannyiunk felelősségéről. |

ellen kounalakis: The Vampire Lestat Anne Rice, 1997-11-29 #1 New York Times Bestselling author - Surrender to fiction's greatest creature of the night - Book II of the Vampire Chronicles The vampire hero of Anne Rice’s enthralling novel is a creature of the darkest and richest imagination. Once an aristocrat in the heady days of pre-revolutionary France, now a rock star in the demonic, shimmering 1980s, he rushes through the centuries in search of others like him, seeking answers to the mystery of his eternal, terrifying exsitence. His is a mesmerizing story—passionate, complex, and thrilling. Praise for The Vampire Lestat “Frightening, sensual . . . Anne Rice will live on through the ages of literature. . . . To read her is to become giddy as if spinning through the mind of time, to become lightheaded as if our blood is slowly being drained away.”—San Francisco Chronicle “Fiercely ambitious, nothing less than a complete unnatural history of vampires.”—The Village Voice “Brilliant . . . its undead characters are utterly alive.”—The New York Times Book Review “Luxuriantly created and richly told.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer |

ellen kounalakis: Vészhelyzet Mészáros Tamás, 2014-03-19 A Vészhelyzet az elmúlt négy év politikatörténete. Nem feltétlenül időrendben követi az eseményeket, de nem is szakad el a konkrét „sztoriktól”, amelyek meglehetős pontossággal rajzolják ki az Orbán-rezsim természetét. Új könyvében a szerző nem az ismert ügyek leltárát végzi el, hanem az egyes tematikai csomópontokat keresi – mint például az alkotmányozás (annak jellege, módja, szellemisége), az Európai Unió és a magyar kormány viszonya, a külpolitika zsákutcái (keleti nyitás, az amerikai kapcsolat, a németekkel való konfrontáció), az unortodox gazdaságirányítás „eredményei”, a szociális krízis, a kulturális rombolás és a többi. A Vészhelyzet összességében azt akarja világossá tenni és bizonyítani, hogy az úgynevezett Nemzeti Együttműködés Rendszere kizárólag hatalmi szisztémaként működik. A Vészhelyzet azt mutatja be, hogy a politikai vészhelyzet kommunikációs és nem utolsósorban gazdasági vészhelyzettel párosul – hiszen a legdrámaibb körülmények közé az a majd négy és fél millió ember került, aki ma a szegénységi küszöbön, illetve az alatt él. Mészáros Tamás könyve nem a politikatudomány, a szociológia, avagy a közgazdaságtan tudományos igényével lép fel; ezek a tematikus fejezetek egy folyamatosan publikáló, népszerű közíró vállaltan szubjektív elemzései. |

ellen kounalakis: Foreign Affairs Federalism Michael J. Glennon, Robert D. Sloane, 2016 Foreign Affairs Federalism provides the first comprehensive study of the constitutional law and practice of federalism in the conduct of U.S. foreign relations. Glennon and Sloane examine in detail the considerable foreign affairs powers retained by the states under the Constitution and question the need for Congress or the president to step in to provide one voice in foreign affairs. They present concrete, realistic ways that the courts can update antiquated federalism precepts and untangle interwoven strands of international law, federal law, and state law. |
ellen kounalakis: Spin Wars and Spy Games Markos Kounalakis, 2018-07-01 As most long-standing news outlets have shuttered their foreign bureaus and print operations, the role of GNNs as information collectors and policy influencers has changed in tandem. Western GNNs are honored for being untethered to government entities and their ability to produce accurate yet critical situational analyses. However, with the emergence of non-Western GNNs and their direct relationships to the state, the independent nature of our global news cycle has been vastly manipulated. In Spin Wars and Spy Games, Kounalakis uses his interviews with an expansive and diverse set of GNN professionals to deliver a vivid depiction of the momentous sea change in mass media production. He traces the evolution of global news networks from the twentieth century to now, revealing today's drastically altered news business model that places precedence on networks leveraging global power. This eye-opening narrative transforms our understanding of why countries like Russia and China invest heavily in their news media, and how the GNN framework operates in conjunction with state strategy and diplomatic sensitivity. Profoundly meticulous and insightful, this seminal work on the current state of transnational journalism gives readers a first-hand look at how global media powers shape policy and morph the public's consumption of information. |
