| Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums! Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register. Join our Community Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system. I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way. Getting Started If you're already a member please log in to your account to access all of our features. |

Hi all. I hope you're all enjoying Moore. The book club sounds like a fun idea. I've read both Moore and Ikenberry, and they're both good picks. Seems like U-ropa and I have some similar interests, or at least that he's taking some of the same classes I have. Are you a Princeton man, U-ropa, or a grad student elsewhere? If you're interested in something similar but relevant to read in subsequent months, you might look at "Special Providence" by Walter Russel Mead or, if you haven't read it, Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations." Huntington is a major book on post-Cold War international relations, and Mead gives an interesting look at American foreign policy and what shapes it. The new Richard Evans book, "The Coming of the Third Reich," is also really good if you're looking for something historical. I'm a history buff myself, and I read it a few weeks ago. Have fun all, E |

Hehe... Not a Princeton man, although I would like to go to the WWSoIR and work under Ikenberry. I fall into the ‘under-grad somewhere else’ category. On your book selection, I’ve heard of Mead, in the same strain as Robert Cagan as I remember... Otherwise, Huntington is for me a no-no. One of my tutors once described him as 'a very clever man who wrote a very silly book'. Unless people are in the mood to destroy, what is ultimately a pile of racist nonsense, I suggest steering well clear. I still retain a lingering resentment of Huntington for having published the book in the first place (in that I had to sit down and read it). The only viable use for it, except as toilet paper, is to understand the proliferation of post-bi-polarity paradigms, and the search for a theory that effectively contextualised the map into bite-size units. However, Huntington’s strive for parsimony ultimately results in a unfounded platitude. |

July's here, and it's time to propose the read of next month, August. Since L&H and I have already made our own selections, next on the list -from the top- of our club's members is U-Ropa. Please make your proposition when you feel ready and feel free to create a thread introducing it or giving us any info on it any time. |
