Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Is History Past Politics? A brief review of Mr. Freeman's Philosophy of History will serve to set our chosen motto in a'clear light. He regarded Greek politics as the beginning of the world's state life. For him the Achaian League of Greek cities was the historic fore runner of the Federal Union of these United States. For him the real life of ancient history lay not in its separation from the affairs of our own time, but in its close connection with them. (office of the Historical Professor, For him the records of Athenian archons and Roman consuls were essential parts of the same living European history as the records of Venetian doges and English kings. It mattered little to this large-hearted, broad-minded historian of Comparative Politics whether he was writing of free Hellas or free England, of Magna Graecia or the United States. He wrote political articles on the Eastern Question and the Danube provinces for the Manchester Guardian or Saturday Review in the same spirit in which he wrote historical essays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of American Politics It might perhaps have been better to use the term broad constructionist instead of loose construction ist. But the latter had been used by all the earlier political writers, and it is hoped that no one will see anything invidious in a mere technical phrase. The reader's considerate judgment is requested upon all de ficiencies and omissions, beyond those which have been compelled by the necessity for condensation.

Download or read book American Political History written by Viola A. Conklin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Political History: To the Death of Lincoln Every book, it has been said, should have a preface wherein is offered an apology for presenting another literary venture. The excuse for this volume is the newly awakened interest in our country's past. It owes its origin to a course of parlor lectures which resulted from the remark of a cultured woman who entered actively into the opportunities of her New York life. I have attended, she declared, parlor classes for the study of the great men, the historical epochs, the music, the art, the literature, and even the drama of nearly every land of Europe, but remain lamentably ignorant of the history of my own country. Write a course of lectures upon the political history of the United States and I promise to form a class of women all as ill-in formed as I am, and equally anxious to learn. It was an appeal that demanded compliance, and the interest aroused by the lectures suggested a fuller treatment of the subject in a more permanent form. The thanks of the author are due to Professor E. G. Bourne, of Yale University, for some suggestions made after reading the manuscript. The book is sent forth in the hope that it will meet the demand for a concise ac count of our political history, and that it may prove of value to the man who votes, and to the woman who often influences the voter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latent Impulse in History and Politics In reading over this work before sending it to press, I am affected by some small misgivings. I feel that if I wrote it over again I might write it somewhat differently, for I have not yet arrived at the age when ideas begin to permanently crystallise. Any faults of style and exaggerations of opinion I beg the reader to ascribe to immaturity; any errors in fact to the defect of circumstances, for the book was written in the heart of South Africa. In spite of all, however, I put forward my general theories of latent impulse with good heart, for every subsequent experience I have met with has tended to confirm them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Politics History, Vol. 4 There is no unkindness, and there is useful truth, especially under popular governments, in pressing people to realise the whole bearings of the commonplace that time and mutations of political atmosphere are incessantly attaching a different significance to the same ideas and the same words. We are so apt to go on with our manful battles as if the flags and banners and vehement catchwords all stood for old causes. This is only one side of all the changing aspects of the time. I ventured to speak of narrowness of vision. The vision would indeed be narrow, that overlooked the reaction on our own affairs of circumstances outside - the new map of Europe, the shifting balances of fighting strength, Hague tribunals, tariffs, the Panama Canal, strange currents racing in full blast through the rolling worlds of white men, black men, brown men, yellow men.

Download or read book The Democracy Sourcebook written by Robert A. Dahl and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-08-15 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Democracy Sourcebook offers a collection of classic writings and contemporary scholarship on democracy, creating a book that can be used by undergraduate and graduate students in a wide variety of courses, including American politics, international relations, comparative politics, and political philosophy. The editors have chosen substantial excerpts from the essential theorists of the past, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville, and the authors of The Federalist Papers; they place them side by side with the work of such influential modern scholars as Joseph Schumpeter, Adam Przeworski, Seymour Martin Lipset, Samuel P. Huntington, Ronald Dworkin, and Amartya Sen. The book is divided into nine self-contained chapters: "Defining Democracy," which discusses procedural, deliberative, and substantive democracy; "Sources of Democracy," on why democracy exists in some countries and not in others; "Democracy, Culture, and Society," about cultural and sociological preconditions for democracy; "Democracy and Constitutionalism," which focuses on the importance of independent courts and a bill of rights; "Presidentialism versus Parliamentarianism"; "Representation," discussing which is the fairest system of democratic accountability; "Interest Groups"; "Democracy's Effects," an examination of the effect of democracy on economic growth and social inequality; and finally, "Democracy and the Global Order" discusses the effects of democracy on international relations, including the propensity for war and the erosion of national sovereignty by transnational forces.
Download or read book The New Politics and Other Papers Classic Reprint written by William Garrott Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Politics, and Other Papers The case of the United States is not in point. In a country Where the necessities of life are cheap and the wages of labor high, where a man who has no capital but his legs and arms may expect to become rich by industry and frugality, it is not very decidedly even for the immediate advantage of the poor to plunder the rich; and the punishment of doing so would very speedily follow the offense. But in countries in which the great majority live from hand to mouth, and in which vast masses of wealth have been accumulated by a comparatively small number, the case is widely dif ferent. The immediate want is, at particular seasons, craving, imperious, irresistible. In our own time it has steeled men to the fear of the gallows, and urged them on the point of the bayonet. And, if these men had at their command that gallows, and those bayonets, which now scarcely restrain them, what is to be expected? Nor is this state of things one which can exist only under a bad government. Therefore, the better the government, the greater is the inequality of condi tions; and the greater the inequality of conditions, the stronger are the motives which impel the populace to spoliation. As for America, we appeal to the twentieth century. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Facts and Suggestions, Biographical, Historical, Financial, and Political, Addressed to the People of the United States Duced the late civil war; that a knowledge of the past may have its preper influence on the future. If, as I believe, the organization of a sectional Northern party, for the purpose of a corrupt, sectional, polit ical control of the government, in violation of the fundamental princi ples of the Constitution, necessarily led to the organization of a Southern party, in defence of the interest and principles which it was the purpose of that Northern party to assail and subvert - then, if the civil war was the consequence of that conflict, the censure should rest on the men, who, by organizing a sectional Northern party for the pur pose of aggression, compelled the counter organization of a Southern party in defence of the rights, interests, and principles thus assailed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A True Republic This book is not the work of a scholar. It concerns mat ters which lie outside of my profession, and which I have never studied with thoroughness. To its writing I have been able to give only such time from day to day as could be taken from professional practice. It is not what I wish I might make it; no doubt it has many faults of which I have no knowledge or suspicion. But it is written for a purpose. Its purpose must be the excuse for its existence. The people of the United States have a new and great problem to solve. That they will solve it I make no doubt. The immense growth of party which we have had in this country is something new in history. I do not think its evils have been duly weighed; nor do I think its causes have been carefully studied. It has been too readily assumed that political parties are desirable things in the State. We speak of the abuses of party government. Is it certain that party government now has its uses?
