5-0 out of 5 stars A vital theoretical and comparative foundation
Diamond and Plattner offer a valuable update from their 1993 book, now comprised of articles from the Journal of Democracy from 1990 through 1995. Anchored by a thorough introduction, the first section introduces the third wave of democratization, the new world disorder, and definitions and dangers of democracy. Articles on institutional choices debate the structural questions of democracy, with a broad perspective on presidential, parliamentary, constitutional and representative questions. A new section on civil society discusses an area to which political scientists are bringing renewed attention. Eight new chapters make up the cautiously optimistic section on the prospects for democracy.Read more

Editorial Review

Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) was one of the first members of the United States government openly to predict the imminent collapse of the Soviet Union--and, by extension, statist communism--as far back as the late '70s, as political historian Richard Gid Powers reminds readers in a lengthy introduction (comprising approximately one-fifth of Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars How to use 20/20 Hindsight To Prove You're Never Wrong
First, let me say that Patrick Moynihan is an intelligent man. However, this book is bunk. He states that the Cold War was completely unnecessary - that the USSR was going to collapse anyway. Therefore, all the money/effort spent on it was wasted. That's like saying that we would've won World War II anyway, so all that money spent on D-Day was a waste.
5-0 out of 5 stars Eroding the open society
This is an important documentation and history of the blight of screcy overtaking the American Government in the wake of the Second World War, especially in the context of the Cold War. Moynihan is especially critical of the way in which the gestation of classified information supporting fallacious conclusions (e.g. the Missile Gap)thwared proper open discussion and review of wrong policies. Moynihan makes a sound case for the excessive use of classification, to the point of absurdity. This erosion of the open society requires an active correction, although it is hard to see how this usurpation of power can be stopped in the short term. In any case, the threat to 'government by the people' is direct and ominous.

4-0 out of 5 stars An excellent read
This book's topic is as simple as it's title, but this is a good thing.The theme of this book is the lack of civility in the modern world, and how to fix this problem.The answer he suggests is a return to our religious values.This is applicable not only to those of us who are Christian, or even to those of us who believe in God, but rather to all, because the basic assumptions such as the dignity of human life is farily starightforward.If more people would heed his advice, the world would be a much better place.

4-0 out of 5 stars Preachy - but then again, is that a bad thing?
I must confess that when I see books like this, I have a tendency to cringe. Most books on civility are 'how to' manuals written by self-styled morally superior curmugeons who want us all to live as they do. 2-0 out of 5 stars Carter's Civility comes at the cost of diversity.
Carter's premise seems valid at first.After all, who hasn't noticed that people seem to be getting more uncivilized in our society?We have increased cases of road rage, clerks at stores ignore us and are impolite, and the moral fabric of America is decaying.This is the accepted view that Carter reemphasizes in this book.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Models of Democracy
I was very satisfied with the book.It came in excellent condition and I didn't wait long to receive it.I would purchase from this seller again.

4-0 out of 5 stars Superb
This is a superb book as an entry road into democratic theory. It is far-reaching but not too superficial, the analysis and interpretation are spot on, and the critical lines persued are persuasive and important. Although the solution is not fully expanded Held makes it clear that this is not his intention as this is primarily a survey of democratic theory over the years rather than a constructive thesis.

4-0 out of 5 stars good introduction into political theory
Excellent introduction into political theory, giving good background onthe current political debates. However, the solution proposed, a"cosmopolitian democracy", does not seem very concrete. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Hmmmm
Engaging but, as another another reader points out, Siedentorp is no de Tocqueville.5-0 out of 5 stars Insightful Primer
This is a very engaging and readable primer on federalism, its history and various forms.Siedentop advocates not so much a British solution to EU federalism, as a German onewith a written constitution and clear seperation of powers between Union and member states, and judicial review.He also advocates creation of a European Senate indirectly elected by national legislators to preserve the Federal character of the union.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Work of Intelligent Skepticism
This is a most impressive book.Drawing lessons from the American experience of creating a continental, federal union and inspired by 19th Century French liberals such as Tocqueville and Guizot, Siedentop takes a skepticial (but sympathetic) look at the current project to create a "United States of Europe".The book is grand (even majestic) in its scope and (deliberately) provocative in its claims.The author is a political theorist and intellectual historian, which is the key to its appeal.There are countless books on the EU out there, written by political scientists and economist, full of arcane details and figures.This book, by contrast, is written from a larger perspective, drawing on the author's apparently vast knowledge of European social, cultural and intellectual life.The style is engaging and straightforward.The book will appeal most to journalists and very senior bureaucrats, I think.(Judging by the endorsements on the cover, this is indeed the case.)It will probably be judged too sweeping and general by most academic specialists and too intellectual and abstract by most ordinary readers.It is a work of popular scholarship or "high journalism", in the highest and best sense of that term.There is still an appreciation for such things among British journalists (although it is diminishing), unlike their American cousins, for whom this book will probably seem far too substantial to engage their attention for long.The principal villains of the piece are the French elites, who (the author alleges) have so far successfully imposed an elitist, centralist, statist vision on the construction of the European Union.The Germans have been too politically weak and self-absorbed to resist this aggressive French agenda, and the British are trapped in their own social and constitutional ancien regime, unable to offer any practical alternatives to their traditional rivals.So Siedentop turns to American federalism for an alternative conception of how the New Europe should develop.He is a Tocquevillian liberal who favors decentralization spiced with Rousseauian democratic republicanism.One of his principal complaints about the debate on Europe is that economics has completely eclipsed the political, resulting in a union that is politically retarded and dangerous (one of his favorite words).At the very least, his assessment of the many dangers on the road to union in Europe deserves very serious consideration.Hopefully, it will help to raise the standard of debate on its future course.Read more
