Описание: This book, by one of America's most intelligent and decent political writers, tells liberals how the conservative movement rose and fell, and how they could emulate its successes while avoiding its failures. --George Packer, author of Blood of the Liberals and The Assassins' Gate ""No one is better than Todd Gitlin at describing the crucial dynamic through which movements gain or lose political power. Justly celebrated for his seminal work on such dynamics during the 1960s, Gitlin now explains everything that's happened since, with passion and wisdom--and happily, because of Bushism's collapse, legitimate optimism about the future."" --Michael Tomasky, Editor, Guardian America ""An impassioned yet realistic plea for Democrats and liberals to become more serious about politics. They would do well to follow his advice."" --Alan Wolfe, Director, Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life, Boston College ""A brilliant and indispensable book. Gitlin convincingly urges liberals to take seriously the greater difficulty the Democrats have forging cohesion among identity-based groups over the Republicans persuading the less diverse Republican base to bury disagreements in the drive for victory. Gitlin argues that Democrats will have to bite the bullet and unite under a big tent. It's a hard lesson for ardent newcomers to the movement to swallow. Gitlin is dead right."" --Thomas B. Edsall, Special Correspondent, The New Republic ""This is an indispensable book by one of our most gifted public intellectuals. Todd Gitlin explains--with splendid scholarship, reporting, and wit--how the Bush machine debased our political life and how progressives, in all their variety, are struggling to build a new majority. It is the best guide we have to America's recent past and its possible future."" --Michael Kazin, author of A Godly Hero: The Life of William Jennings Bryan and Professor of History, Georgetown University

A rigorous and comprehensive account of recent democratic transitions around the world
From the 1980s through the first decade of the twenty-first century, the spread of democracy across the developing and post-Communist worlds transformed the global political landscape. What drove these changes and what determined whether the emerging democracies would stabilize or revert to authoritarian rule? Dictators and Democrats takes a comprehensive look at the transitions to and from democracy in recent decades. Deploying both statistical and qualitative analysis, Stephen Haggard and Robert Kaufman engage with theories of democratic change and advocate approaches that emphasize political and institutional factors. While inequality has been a prominent explanation for democratic transitions, the authors argue that its role has been limited, and elites as well as masses can drive regime change.
Examining seventy-eight cases of democratic transition and twenty-five reversions since 1980, Haggard and Kaufman show how differences in authoritarian regimes and organizational capabilities shape popular protest and elite initiatives in transitions to democracy, and how institutional weaknesses cause some democracies to fail. The determinants of democracy lie in the strength of existing institutions and the public's capacity to engage in collective action. There are multiple routes to democracy, but those growing out of mass mobilization may provide more checks on incumbents than those emerging from intra-elite bargains.
Moving beyond well-known beliefs regarding regime changes, Dictators and Democrats explores the conditions under which transitions to democracy are likely to arise.

Описание: This timely and unprecedented book will inform politically active readers throughout the 2020 national election cycle. It provides financial information on major campaign issues such as national health care policy, college tuition relief, and tax reforms that would be required to pay for "big changes" as well as the unspoken issue of mounting federal deficits. It explains why Modern Monetary Theory is not a solution. As a bonus, it includes important and innovative policy strategies to contain medical and prescription-drug costs, and ways to cut municipal borrowing costs without burdening taxpayers. The book begins with an introduction to the Fiscal Facts of Life, which include the financial burdens facing Baby Boomers whose Medicare and Social Security benefits are in jeopardy as the programs' trust funds are depleted in 2026 and 2034 respectively, The author explains in household terms the size of the national debt and the annual budget deficits that Trump Tax Cuts have left to us all. Politicians in both political parties continue to sidestep the massive national debt that today's politicians are handing off to Millennials, college students and younger Americans. After explaining and quantifying the real-world magnitude of popular political slogans like "Medicare for All" and "Free College Tuition" and "Tax the Rich," the book identifies a dozen tax reform and tax increase policy options and the realistic amount of revenue each would raise. The idea of universal health care becomes a cruel joke if Medicare benefits for today's retirees must be paid with federal IOUs in 2027 and forever thereafter The mis-match between many populist politicians' promises for big new ideas, and the actual tax burdens that will be required to fund them, is addressed from the perspective of Democrats eager to regain the White House in 2020. The book includes comprehensive public finance strategies to achieve important social changes without further burdening younger Americans with even more national debt and the risk of future inflation. The book is not anti-tax, it is anti-runaway-deficits. Middle Americans may not have all the answers, but they know there is a debt problem and it makes them suspicious of runaway Tax-and-Spend policies. Failure to address these issues in primaries and the Milwaukee convention could result in a replay of Nixon v. McGovern.The author presents novel solutions for health care financing, and a comprehensive budget-balancing strategy to fund Basic Health Care for All and collegiate tuition relief, if Americans are willing to accept the taxes required to properly finance a grown-up approach to federal budgeting. Innovative strategies to help states and local government finance their crumbling infrastructure are also presented, along with smarter federal policies to get more bang for the buck and put people back to work faster in recessions. Students of public administration and public policy will find this book illuminating, with real-word examples of textbook concepts that will bring their studies to life in the 2020 election cycle. Reporters and campaigners will be able to use the book's Pinocchio Fact-checking and Smell-testing Scorecard to call out phony campaign promises. Families and friends will be able to use the book's comprehensive analysis of both the spending options and the tax-financing options to settle policy debates. The book begins with a brief "Cliff Notes" introduction that summarizes the key principles and highlights, with references to the 29 technical topics contained in the main body of the book. There are 100 "call-out" text boxes that summarize key points and pull the reader into important sections. An annotated Glossary of common governmental finance acronyms is provided.
A groundbreaking look at how group expectations unify black Americans in their support of the Democratic party
Black Americans are by far the most unified racial group in American electoral politics, with 80 to 90 percent identifying as Democrats--a surprising figure given that nearly a third now also identify as ideologically conservative, up from less than 10 percent in the 1970s. Why has ideological change failed to push more black Americans into the Republican Party? Steadfast Democrats answers this question with a new, pathbreaking theory that foregrounds the specificity of the black American experience and illuminates social pressure as the key element of black Americans' unwavering support for the Democratic Party.
Ismail White and Chryl Laird argue that the roots of black political unity were established through the adversities of slavery and segregation, when black Americans forged uniquely strong social bonds for survival and resistance. White and Laird explain how these tight communities have continued to produce and enforce political norms--including Democratic Party identification in the post-Civil Rights era. The social experience of race for black Americans is thus fundamental to their political choices. Black voters are uniquely influenced by the social expectations of other black Americans to prioritize the group's ongoing struggle for freedom and equality. When navigating the choice of supporting a political party, this social expectation translates to affiliation with the Democratic Party. Through fresh analysis of survey data and original experiments, White and Laird explore where and how black political norms are enforced, what this means for the future of black politics, and how this framework can be used to understand the electoral behavior of other communities.
A surprising explanation for why black Americans continue in political lockstep, Steadfast Democrats sheds light on the motivations consolidating an influential portion of the American electoral population.

Описание: "Surprising Community" offers Christian readers biblical guidance on Christian social and political engagement. Along the way it tries to make sense of the unfortunate fact that believers are often as polarized over politics as anyone, and it offers guidance on how to navigate that polarization. Its ten chapters discuss the political idols that make us angry and afraid, the theology that can lay our fears to rest, a biblical account of our heavenly citizenship that helps us to be patient and winsome earthly citizens, an account of Jesus' remarkable command to "give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's", a series of approaches for effecting social and political chance that can reduce rather than increase political heat, and some practical advice on how to talk about politics at church. Questions for reflection, discussion, and application appear at the end of each chapter. The aim of "Surprising Community" is to help Christians meet two obligations: (1) to love their neighbors as themselves and (2) to love each other even when they disagree over how best to love their neighbors. With reference to the first obligation, the book argues that Christians may not withdraw from social and political engagement: Jesus is the Lord of all and we are his ambassadors, called to do all we can to make our world more just, good, and beautiful. With reference to the second obligation (and this is the heartbeat of the book), "Surprising Community" argues that Jesus died to create a social surprise, a new society that showcases for our polarized world what human society will look like when Jesus finishes what he started: Christians must, for this reason, find ways to live in honest harmony with each other even when they disagree profoundly over politics. The church must, in other words, care for the world without becoming like the world by polarizing as the world does.

By taking a look at our country from a Judeo-Christian viewpoint, Richard Ferguson reveals what happened in the past, what is happening right now and how Christians need to stand together to make a difference.
The rhetoric that is put forth by the democrat party is magnified by the liberal media so that uninformed Americans believe what they are being told is the truth. Unfortunately, because of the liberal bias of the press, the truth is NOT what you see and hear on the news.
Christians Alert explores the details of the radical left Democrat party and how they ban together with the liberal media to attack the foundations of our beloved republic.
Richard believes that the source of these attacks is demonic, and he examines the role of Satan in our world today and what his plan is for the destruction of God's children. He also believes that the Democrat party the single largest clear and present danger to the existence of our country as we know it today
Christians Alert explains all of this and describes what we as Christian's can do about it
