Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil Government in Theory and Practice: A Comparative Review of Existing Governments, Their Origin and History, and Chief Points of Likeness and Unlikeness to the Government of the United States; Prepared for Use in Schools When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to preface a book with a statement of its purpose, and the motives Which led to its composition, first by the author and afterwards by the printer, the author should not, I think, be put too strictly upon his honor to tell the truth, the whole truth and noth ing but the truth. That an author writes for his ownlpecuniary profit, no one in this age is disposed to deny, but the reasons which induced him to treat of this rather than that - to choose (with Mr. Wop sle) pork, rather than pickles as the text of his dis course, are manifold. Perhaps as plausible a state ment as any would, in eight cases out of ten, be this: The following facts were brought my attention. I found them interesting to me, and fancied they might be of interest to others. Hence I accumulated them.

Download or read book Civil Government in California Classic Reprint written by John Richard Sutton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil Government in California IT is the purpose of this work to present in brief form something of the theory and practice of civil government in California. The scope of governmental activity widens from year to year, coming nearer and nearer the life of every individual; and, on the other hand, the intelligence of the individual and his general attitude toward public affairs, react more and more upon the government. The influence of the citizen is vital in the selection of public Officials, and in the attitude assumed toward them after they are selected. His power has been tremendously augmented in recent years by the widespread adoption of the direct primary, the initiative, the referendum, and the recall; and his intelligence must keep pace with his political power, or the commonwealth will suffer. The following chapters are intended to place in convenient form the most important features of the information which every responsible citizen should possess if his influence is to count for the common good.

Download or read book On Civil Disobedience written by Hannah Arendt and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together for the first time, classic essays on how and when to disobey the government from two of the greatest thinkers in our literature As we grapple with how to respond to emerging threats against democracy, Library of America brings together for the first time two seminal essays about the duties of citizenship and the imperatives of conscience. In “Resistance to Civil Government” (1849), Henry David Thoreau recounts the story of a night he spent in jail for refusing to pay poll taxes, which he believed supported the Mexican American War and the expansion of slavery. His larger aim was to articulate a view of individual conscience as a force in American politics. No writer has made a more persuasive case for obedience to a “higher law.” In “Civil Disobedience” (1970), Hannah Arendt offers a stern rebuttal to Thoreau. For Arendt, Thoreau stands in willful opposition to the public and collective spirit that defines civil disobedience. Only through positive collective action and the promises we make to each other in a civil society can meaningful change occur. This deluxe paperback features an introduction by Roger Berkowitz, Founder and Academic Director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities and Professor of Politics, Philosophy, and Human Rights at Bard College, who reflects on the tradition of civil disobedience and the future of American politics.

Download or read book James Madison written by Samuel Kernell and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the study of James Madison and his contributions to early American politics has enjoyed a growing audience among scholars and students of modern American politics. Not only did Madison establish the fundamental American concept of pluralism, his appreciation of the logic of institutional design as a key to successful democratic reform still influences modern theory and research. This book evaluates the legacy of James Madison as the product of a scholarly politiciana politician who thought carefully about institutions in the context of action. It brings together thoughtful responses to Madison and his theory from a broad cross-section of modern political science, and views Madison not as an icon or mouthpiece of an era, but as a modern political scientist who was able to implement many of his theoretical ideas in a practical forum.

Download or read book Making Policy in Theory and Practice written by Bochel, Hugh and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2007-10-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book combines both academic and practitioner perspectives to provide critical consideration of contemporary policy-making and highlight examples of good practice at all levels of government. In Professional Policy Making for the Twenty-First Century the Cabinet Office's Strategic Policy Making Team identified nine 'competencies' as the key features of 'modern policy making': forward-looking; outward-looking; innovative, flexible and creative; evidence-based; inclusive; joined-up; open to review; open to evaluation; and capable of learning lessons. Using these to structure the book, nine central chapters - each written by a pair of co-authors, one primarily an academic, and the other primarily a policy maker or practitioner - examine the competencies in turn. Accompanying case studies provide lessons or pointers to good practice, together with guidance on how to access further information. Set in the context of New Labour's emphasis on 'modernisation', and reflecting the growing emphasis on policy making as a skill, the book will appeal to a range of audiences, including undergraduate and postgraduate students on courses that draw upon approaches to public administration and public policy, and social researchers, policy officers and others involved in the development and analysis of policy making at all tiers of government.
