With exclusive access to the Haughey archives, Gary Murphy presents a reassessment of Charles Haughey's life and legacy. &nbsp; Saint or sinner? He was the most talented and influential politician of his generation, and his presence still looms over the Irish body politic, yet the very roots of his success - his charisma, his intelligence, his ruthlessness, his secrecy - have rendered almost impossible any objective evaluation of his life and work. He is, depending on whom you ask, either the great villain of Irish political life or the benevolent and forward-thinking saviour of a benighted nation. &nbsp; That is, until now. Based on unfettered access to Haughey's personal archives, as well as extensive interviews with over 80 of his peers, rivals, confidantes and relatives, Haughey is a rich and nuanced portrait of a man of prodigious gifts, who, for all his flaws and many contradictions, came to define modern Ireland. &nbsp; 'A superbly balanced exploration of the life and politics of one of the most fascinating figures in 20th century Ireland.' Professor John Horgan &nbsp; 'An indispensable read for anyone with an interest in modern Irish history.' David McCullagh &nbsp; 'Offers much new detail - and not a few surprises - about the personality and career of a political titan who is still, in equal measure, revered and reviled in 21st century Ireland.' Conor Brady

THIS WEEK Schlock! Webzine is celebrating four years as purveyors of the finest schlock horror, fantasy and science fiction. We begin with a story of a private investigator and his voyage to the bottom of the sea from first ever Schlock contributor James Rhodes, author of The Hettford Witch Hunt series and short story This Is What’s Happening, followed by a post-apocalyptic superhero tale from Gary Murphy. Next we have a new horror tale from Gregory KH Bryant, whose B-Movie horror epic Terror on Snail Island reaches Part Eleven elsewhere in the zine, followed by Death Comes in Kaleidoscope from Benjamin Welton. We also see a horrific return from Rick McQuiston, while I've included the first story I wrote, back when I was fifteen and being thirty four was far ahead, not behind me (previously featured in issue 3). We also begin a new serial, The Jewel of the Seven Stars by Bram Stoker, adapted by Hammer Horror in the seventies as Blood from the Mummy's Tomb. And in chapter two of A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court, our hero encounters a page.

Governments worldwide are developing sunshine policies that increase transparency in politics, where a key initiative is regulating lobbyists. Building on the pioneering first edition, this book updates its examination of all jurisdictions with regulations, from the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia. Unlike any book, it offers unique insights into how the regulations compare and contrast against each other, offering a revamped theoretical classification of different regulatory environments and situating each political system therein. This edition innovatively considers different measurements to capture the robustness of lobbying laws in terms of promoting transparency and accountability. And, based on the authors’ experience of advising governments globally, it closes with a no-nonsense guide on how to make a lobbying law. This is of value to policymakers seeking to introduce or amend regulations, and lobbyists seeking to influence this process.
