Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading political innovation activist Katherine Gehl and world-renowned business strategist Michael Porter bring fresh perspective, deep scholarship, and a real and actionable solution, Final Five Voting, to the grand challenge of our broken political and democratic system. Final Five Voting has already been adopted in Alaska and is being advanced in states across the country. The truth is, the American political system is working exactly how it is designed to work, and it isn't designed or optimized today to work for us—for ordinary citizens. Most people believe that our political system is a public institution with high-minded principles and impartial rules derived from the Constitution. In reality, it has become a private industry dominated by a textbook duopoly—the Democrats and the Republicans—and plagued and perverted by unhealthy competition between the players. Tragically, it has therefore become incapable of delivering solutions to America's key economic and social challenges. In fact, there's virtually no connection between our political leaders solving problems and getting reelected. In The Politics Industry, business leader and path-breaking political innovator Katherine Gehl and world-renowned business strategist Michael Porter take a radical new approach. They ingeniously apply the tools of business analysis—and Porter's distinctive Five Forces framework—to show how the political system functions just as every other competitive industry does, and how the duopoly has led to the devastating outcomes we see today. Using this competition lens, Gehl and Porter identify the most powerful lever for change—a strategy comprised of a clear set of choices in two key areas: how our elections work and how we make our laws. Their bracing assessment and practical recommendations cut through the endless debate about various proposed fixes, such as term limits and campaign finance reform. The result: true political innovation. The Politics Industry is an original and completely nonpartisan guide that will open your eyes to the true dynamics and profound challenges of the American political system and provide real solutions for reshaping the system for the benefit of all.

PREFACE Why is it that in the United States the words politics and politician have associations that are chiefly of evil omen? Why is it that in the United States the phrase, to play politics, means to cajole the mob or to descend to practices of doubtful honor? In the true and broad sense of the word, politics is one of man's highest concerns, and nowhere should the word have loftier and nobler associations than in a twentieth century democracy. The fact that this is not the case indicates the measure of our failure, as yet, to place our public life and our governmental administration upon the plane where they ought to be. There is a singular and discouraging discrepancy between the political expositions and discussions of a century ago and those of today. In the Federalist and in Calhoun's Disquisition on Government, we have perhaps the two most profound and original contributions to political science that have been made since Aristotle. Even when the controversy over slavery was at its height and men's passions were fiercely roused, there was a distinction in the public debates and discussions, both in the Senate and on the platform, that is now sadly lacking. The people of the whole country hung with breathless interest upon the great debate between Lincoln and Douglas, and its published record remains to-day, after the controversy which caused it has been closed forever, a political classic of first-rate importance. We have no such debates on the pending proposals to overturn our form of government and on the principles of that political philosophy which calls itself socialism. Surely these questions are of vital interest and of fundamental importance. The reason may be that we are just now without either a Lincoln or a Dou

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.tandfebooks.com/, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license. There has been an enormous increase in interest in the use of evidence for public policymaking, but the vast majority of work on the subject has failed to engage with the political nature of decision making and how this influences the ways in which evidence will be used (or misused) within political areas. This book provides new insights into the nature of political bias with regards to evidence and critically considers what an ‘improved’ use of evidence would look like from a policymaking perspective. Part I describes the great potential for evidence to help achieve social goals, as well as the challenges raised by the political nature of policymaking. It explores the concern of evidence advocates that political interests drive the misuse or manipulation of evidence, as well as counter-concerns of critical policy scholars about how appeals to ‘evidence-based policy’ can depoliticise political debates. Both concerns reflect forms of bias – the first representing technical bias, whereby evidence use violates principles of scientific best practice, and the second representing issue bias in how appeals to evidence can shift political debates to particular questions or marginalise policy-relevant social concerns. Part II then draws on the fields of policy studies and cognitive psychology to understand the origins and mechanisms of both forms of bias in relation to political interests and values. It illustrates how such biases are not only common, but can be much more predictable once we recognise their origins and manifestations in policy arenas. Finally, Part III discusses ways to move forward for those seeking to improve the use of evidence in public policymaking. It explores what constitutes ‘good evidence for policy’, as well as the ‘good use of evidence’ within policy processes, and considers how to build evidence-advisory institutions that embed key principles of both scientific good practice and democratic representation. Taken as a whole, the approach promoted is termed the ‘good governance of evidence’ – a concept that represents the use of rigorous, systematic and technically valid pieces of evidence within decision-making processes that are representative of, and accountable to, populations served.
Download or read book Design as Politics written by Tony Fry and published by Berg. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design as Politics confronts the inadequacy of contemporary politics to deal with unsustainability. Current 'solutions' to unsustainability are analysed as utterly insufficient for dealing with the problems but, further than this, the book questions the very ability of democracy to deliver a sustainable future. Design as Politics argues that finding solutions to this problem, of which climate change is only one part, demands original and radical thinking. Rather than reverting to failed political ideologies, the book proposes a post-democratic politics. In this, Design occupies a major role, not as it is but as it could be if transformed into a powerful agent of change, a force to create and extend freedom. The book does no less than position Design as a vital form of political action.

This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Murray Butler's volume of addresses, entitled "Why Should We Change Our Form of Government?" President Butler, has he made clear in his speech as chairman of the Republican State Convention at Rochester, approves neither of the initiative, the referendum, the recall, the direct primary, nor any other innovation in our political machinery. It would be unfair to say that he does not believe in progress, but it is his conviction that "human progress can only be gained and maintained by each individual raising his own standard of intelligence and of conduct." Dr. Butler maintains that through the faith in representative institutions, once delivered to the saints, must come our political salvation. To his mind, the "progressives" of to-day are trying to destroy representative government. All progressives would do well to read Dr. Butler's criticisms and arguments. His book sets forth very ably the position of that small but influential group of leaders in our body politic who maintain that what was good enough for the fathers is good enough for us. -Review of Reviews, Vol. 48 * * * * * Dr. Butler deplores, and points out the danger from, the commercializing of American politics, and sapiently says in the Preface that "the distinction between the realm of government and the realm of individual liberty lies at the basis of free institutions that are to last." He pays eloquent tribute to the Constitution of the United States and to its framers and regards the independent judiciary as "the chief glory of our American system of government and its most original contribution to political science." With a wealth of imagery and historical lore, Dr. Butler surveys the development of forms of government in the old nations of a bygone past; and he shows how the United States has received from England and Holland the fundamentals of a polity that is building up our nation. The book is illuminated by historical references, philosophical appreciations and anecdotes that drive home the arguments made. Dr. Butler urges the substitution of a campaign of enlightenment for one of virulent attack and abuse, and opines that there is too much time devoted to talking on politics in its various relations, particularly to business and too little time to thinking. In illustration he tells the admirable story of Robert Southey, the predecessor of Alfred Tennyson as poet Laureate of England. "Southey was boasting to a Quaker friend of how exceedingly well he occupied his time, how he organized it, how he permitted no moment to escape, how every instant was used, how he studied Portuguese while he shaved, and higher mathematics in his bath. And then the Quaker said to him softly: But when, friend, dost thee think?'" -The Editorial Review, Vol. 6
