	Comment Magazine - "What is to be done... in politics?" by Russ Kuykendall
		Politics is a pursuit in its own right, with an ethos particular to our polity, that done well follows a number of techniques.
		To employ political skillfulness in pursuit of private interest or unjust policy is to rob politics of its nobility.
		And in the thought of his intellectual heirs in "the Amsterdam school" of Kuyper and Dooyeweerd, the institutional plurality and the "pluriformity" of society is injected with the idea of the "sovereignty" of each sphere according to its genius and responsibility (see Ray Pennings, "Sphere Sovereignty 101").

		In 1748, he joined with some radical friends to begin a newspaper called the Independent Advertiser, and he made his first foray into political writing.
		He held the governor responsible for the lack of morals in the society and argued that the politician had chosen the materialistic ways of the merchants rather than the noble virtues upon which the colony had been founded a century before.
		And although he had been elected to his first public office in 1746, that of thr clerk of the Boston Market, he found himself shut out of office until 1753 when he was elected town scavenger–not quite the high-profile jumping-off point for which the aspiring politician had hoped.

	Feudalism Defined - Source for Political Terminology Analysis and Defintions
		Feudalism, or sometimes called the feudal system, in the present-day study of medieval history, often describes a legal and administrative order founded upon the exchange of reciprocal undertakings of protection and loyalty among the administrative, military and ecclesiastical elite of Europe and often Japan, and sometimes other societies.
		Bloch defined "feudalism" as a system in which all the aspects of life were centered on "lordship;" thus in Bloch's view we can speak usefully of a feudal church structure, a feudal courtly (and anti-courtly) literature, a feudal economy.
		It was invented by French and English lawyers in the 17th century to describe certain traditional obligations and reached a wide audience in Montesquieu's De L'Esprit des Lois ("Spirit of the Laws"), in 1748.

		Examining a series of constitutional and political conflicts, he highlights the increasing tensions between local authorities and royal officials in both London and Charles Town—disputes that demonstrate the growing resistance by the colony’s elite to imperial control.
		After 1748 South Carolina politics were not geared toward conciliation or compromise but an all-or-nothing strategy that Mercantini calls “brinkmanship.” Such tactics culminated with a bold threat to shut down government operations and suspend all business with the royal governor rather than concede to the demands of political rivals.
		Mercantini concludes that brinkmanship reveals what high political principles South Carolina’s leaders believed to be at stake in their conflicts with outside authorities and the lengths to which they were willing to go to resist external interference.

	Tiziana Terranova: Network Culture, University of Michigan Press
		In this highly original new work, Tiziana Terranova investigates the political dimension of the network culture in which we now live, and explores what the new forms of communication and organisation might mean for our understanding of power and politics.
		Terranova engages with key concepts and debates in cultural theory and cultural politics, using examples from media culture, computing, network dynamics, and internet activism within the anti-capitalist and anti-war movements.
		This other politics, the book suggests, does not entail the production of a new political discourse or ideology, but the invention of micropolitical tactics able to stand up to new forms of social control.
