    Democracy in Action - Collective...

    Government and market failures spur many citizens to practical action today. Around the globe people form renewable energy cooperatives, provide support for marginalized populations, and deliver alternative justice and care services. What motivates citizens to begin such practical problem-solving? How do they engage others? What knowledge do they generate? How do they interact with state and market actors? What risks and opportunities do they hold for contemporary democracy? 
     
     
     
    To answer these questions, Dzur and Hendriks develop the concept of citizens' governance space to delineate these efforts from contentious social movements, formal civic associations, and local community organizations. Drawing on cases from around the globe, the authors examine how citizens do functional policy work, develop and disrupt knowledge, and selectively partner with governments and corporations. They reveal complexities and risks posed by citizens' governance spaces while also showing how they offer a distinct form of democratic participation centered on practical efforts and outcomes. 
     
     
     
    Democracy in Action provides a new lens for recognizing and understanding the more practical ways that citizens contribute to governance and democracy.

    The Good Fight - Why...

    Peter Beinart

    Once upon a time, liberals knew what they believed. They believed America must lead the world by persuasion, not command. And they believed that by championing freedom overseas, America itself could become more free. That liberal spirit won America's trust at the dawn of the Cold War. Then it collapsed in the wake of Vietnam. Now, after 9/11, and the failed presidency of George W. Bush, America needs it back. 
    In this powerful and provocative book, Peter Beinart offers a new liberal vision, based on principles liberals too often forget: That America's goodness cannot simply be asserted; it must be proved. That American leadership is not American empire. And that liberalism cannot merely define itself against the right, but must oppose the totalitarianism that blighted Europe a half century ago, and which stalks the Islamic world today. 
    With liberals severed from their own history, conservatives have drawn on theirs -- the principles of national chauvinism and moral complacency that America once rejected. The country will reject them again, and embrace the creed that brought it greatness before. But only if liberals remember what that means. It means an unyielding hostility to totalitarianism -- and a recognition that defeating it requires bringing hope to the bleakest corners of the globe. And it means understanding that democracy begins at home. 
    Peter Beinart's The Good Fight is a passionate rejoinder to the conservatives who have ruled Washington since 9/11. It is an intellectual lifeline for a Democratic Party lying flat on its back. And it is a call for liberals to revive the spirit that swept America, and inspired the world.

    The Case for Impeachment

    NATIONAL BESTSELLER  
    “Lichtman has written what may be the most important book of the 
    year.”  —The Hill 
    What are 
    the ranges and limitations of presidential authority? What are the standards of 
    truthfulness that a president must uphold? What will it take to impeach Donald J. Trump? Professor Allan J. 
    Lichtman, who has correctly forecasted thirty years of presidential outcomes, answers 
    these questions, and more, in The Case for Impeachment—a deeply convincing 
    argument for impeaching the 45th president of the United States.  
    In the fall of 2016, Allan J. Lichtman made headlines when he 
    predicted that Donald J. Trump would defeat the heavily favored Democrat, 
    Hillary Clinton, to win the presidential election. Now, in clear, nonpartisan 
    terms, Lichtman lays out the reasons Congress could remove Trump from the Oval 
    Office: his ties to Russia before and after the election, the complicated 
    financial conflicts of interest at home and abroad, and his abuse of executive 
    authority. 
    The Case for Impeachment also 
    offers a fascinating look at presidential impeachments throughout American 
    history, including the often-overlooked story of Andrew Johnson’s impeachment, 
    details about Richard Nixon’s resignation, and Bill Clinton’s hearings. 
    Lichtman shows how Trump exhibits many of the flaws (and more) that have doomed 
    past presidents. As the Nixon Administration dismissed the reporting of Bob 
    Woodward and Carl Bernstein as “character assassination” and “a vicious abuse 
    of the journalistic process,” Trump has attacked the “dishonest media,” 
    claiming, “the press should be ashamed of themselves.” 
    Historians, legal scholars, and politicians alike agree: we are 
    in politically uncharted waters—the durability of our institutions is being 
    undermined and the public’s confidence in them is eroding, threatening American 
    democracy itself. 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Most 
    citizens—politics aside—want to know where the country is headed. Lichtman 
    argues, with clarity and power, that for Donald Trump’s presidency, smoke has 
    become fire.
