The American Democracy - Enriched edition

Alexis de Tocqueville

Sinopsis

In Alexis de Toqueville's seminal work, 'The American Democracy,' the author explores the unique political system of the United States in the early 19th century. De Toqueville combines sociological analysis with political theory to examine the principles of democracy, individualism, and equality that shape American society. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of democratic governance. De Toqueville's astute observations on the strengths and weaknesses of American democracy continue to resonate today. As a classic of political philosophy, 'The American Democracy' remains essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of modern democracy. Alexis de Toqueville, a French political thinker and historian, embarked on a journey to the United States in 1831 to study the American penal system. His observations of the young nation's political institutions led to the writing of this landmark book. De Toqueville's background in law and his passion for understanding the complexities of governance informed his nuanced analysis of American democracy. I highly recommend 'The American Democracy' to readers interested in political theory, American history, or the evolution of democratic societies. De Toqueville's profound insights and timeless wisdom make this book a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the principles that shape modern governance.

Reluctant Conquest - American...

Kathryn C. Lavelle

What drives American foreign relations in the Arctic? It is difficult to give a unified answer to this question because most histories of the region are divided between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, Asian and European strategic interests, or federal government and Indigenous peoples' concerns, making it difficult to understand the connections among the environmental challenges, scientific understandings, strategic calculations, and governance relationships. Most Americans do not think of their country as an Arctic power, yet it is a region where the United States has had important ties throughout its history.In this sweeping study, from the founding of the country through the acquisition of Alaska to the present, Kathryn C. Lavelle considers American relations across the circumpolar North, incorporating discussions of economics, national security, and science that are conventionally separated. Lavelle argues that it is impossible to understand United States policy without a knowledge of American political development and of how scientific understandings have grown alongside studies of climate and other environmental issues. This history has important implications for future American policy regarding traditional national security and political economy, in addition to climate change and environmental cooperation.

Representative Democracy - A...

Dimitri Landa, Ryan Pevnick

Despite the not-so-distant invocations of the "end of history," representative democracy is, today, under siege even from corners where one once might have expected strong sympathy and support. Indeed, confidence in representative democracy has, in recent years, been shaken by the economic and political performance of many such regimes. 
 
Representative Democracy explains why the definitive institutional features of representative democracy—the electoral selection of policymaking officials who are independent in the interim between elections—are attractive relative to salient alternatives (including direct democracy, lottery-based systems, and meritocratic alternatives) and, relatedly, why it is a distinctively attractive institutional arrangement, rather than—as it is often perceived to be—a pale stand-in for more robust and genuine forms of democratic government. Building on novel arguments that connect the distinctive institutional features of representative democracy to important epistemic and stability-based benefits, the book provides a normative account of a well-functioning system of representative democracy against which proposed reforms can be evaluated.
