Liberalisme og centrumsorienterede demokratiske ideologier

This 12th volume gathers all of Constant's interventions at the French Chamber of deputies from April 1819 to July 1820, after his success at the complementary election of the Sarthe department in March 1819.

The challenges facing the political system in Germany to find the right answers in the future may never have been greater.The Futurium, the House of Futures in Berlin, is focusing on the futures of democracy in its new theme.

"Thomas S. Foley, a Democratic representative from the traditionally Republican region of eastern Washington, served in Congress for thirty years, from 1964 to 1994. In 1989 he became the first Speaker of the US House of Representatives from a district west of Texas. His experience as a Democrat from a Republican district contributed to his strong commitment to bipartisanship and institution-building. His leadership came to an end with the Newt Gingrich-led Republican "revolution" that ushered in an era of ideological polarization and partisanship. Speaker Tom Foley is a political biography of this important but often ignored and overlooked figure in modern congressional history. In addition to examining the story of Foley's service as Speaker of the House, R. Kenton Bird and John C. Pierce address key themes that emerge from placing his career in the context of both his own life story and congressional politics in the late twentieth century. What emerges is the story of a leader whose strongly held political values motivated him to sustain a vibrant and responsive House of Representatives as an institution, but left him unsuited for the polarized and strident political environment that emerged in the early 1990s, a climate fueled by talk radio and other conservative media and successfully exploited by Gingrich and his fellow partisans. Though he was a reformed in the 1970s, by the 1990s he was seen as part of an "old guard" holding back the House from further reform. His defeat marked a seismic transition in the landscape of American politics"--

This book posits three potential reactions of democratic regimes: to withstand without changes, to adapt through internal changes, and to recover without losing the democratic character of its regime and its constitutive core institutions, organizations, and processes.

This book concentrates on the politics of allocation and dispersal, the involvement of non-state actors, the role of social workers and street level bureaucrats and the subversive nature of grassroots initiatives as far as reception policies and practices are concerned.

In this distillation of a lifetime's thinking about democracy, Maurice Pope presents a new model of governance that replaces elected politicians with assemblies selected by lot. The re-introduction of sortition, he believes, offers a way out of gridlock, apathy, alienation and polarisation by giving citizens back their voice.

This anthology presents a full range of the perspectives of the paleoconservtive right underlining the originality of its thought and the reasons for its marginal status within the conservative establishment.

Isaiah Berlin, a prominent public intellectual of the second half of the twentieth century, is examined in historical context for the first time as a thinker deeply influenced by, and deeply reactive against, the British Idealists.

Originally published in 1985, Retrieving Democracy offers a thorough and systematic answer to the familiar objection that genuine democracy is utopian. The book outlines an imaginary, yet imaginable, society that would be non-racist, non-sexist, and sufficiently classless to support true civic equality.

This book presents a radical, but compelling, argument that liberal democracies must be able accommodate violent protest.

A college professor debunks the false liberal narratives which define much of America's school curricula. In 1995, James W. Loewen penned the classic work of criticism, Lies My Teacher Told Me, a left-leaning corrective that addressed much of what was sanitized and omitted from American history books.But in the more than two decades that followed, false leftist narratives?as wrong as those they supplanted?have come to dominate American academia and education. Now, in the spirit of that original book, Professor Wilfred Reilly demolishes the academic myths propagated by the left. In Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me, he offers fresh angles on ?established? events, turning what we think we know about the nation's history on its head.Reilly explains how there actually were communists in Hollywood; how the cultural stereotype of Native American culture as completely peace-loving is both untrue and patronizing; and how, while history was almost always bad for Black Americans, history was much worse for everyone than we realize.Smart, irreverent, and deeply researched, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me will revolutionize our understanding of America's past while offering a refreshing way to teach and think about history.
