Community of Citizens On the Modern Idea of Nationality

Community of Citizens On the Modern Idea of Nationality

In this critically acclaimed work for which she was awarded the Prix de L'Assemblee Nationale in 1994 sociologist Dominique Schnapper offers a learned and concise antidote to contemporary assaults on the nation. Schnapper's arguments on behalf of the modern nation represent at once a learned history of the national ideal a powerful rejoinder to its contemporary critics and a masterful essay in the sociological tradition of Ernest Renan Alexis de Tocqueville Emile Durkheim and Raymond Aron. If Schnapper asserts the fate of liberal democracy is coterminous with that of the national ideal then the nation's fate and the answer to this question must be of pressing interest to us all. Reflecting deeply on both the nation's past and future Schnapper places her hopes in what she terms the community of citizens. No mere exercise in sociological abstraction Schnapper's case for the nation also entails a practical political objective. In a time of radical difference the national ideal may be the last great social unifier. This book deserves a place alongside the works of Elie Kedourie Ernest Gellner Anthony Smith and other classics in the study of nationalism and nationality. This work will be of interest to sociologists historians and political scientists alike. | Community of Citizens On the Modern Idea of Nationality

Reconsidering American Political Thought A New Identity

Reconsidering American Political Thought A New Identity

Filling in the missing spaces left by traditional textbooks on American political thought Reconsidering American Political Thought uses race gender and ethnicity as a lens through which to engage ongoing debates on American values and intellectual traditions. Weaving document-based texts analysis with short excerpts from classics in American literature this book presents a re-examination of the political and intellectual debates of consequence throughout American history. Purposely beginning the story in 1619 Saladin Ambar reassesses the religious political and social histories of the colonial period in American history. Thereafter Ambar moves through the story of America with each chapter focusing on a different era in American history up to the present day. Ambar threads together analysis of periods including Thomas Jefferson’s aspiration to create an Empire of Liberty the ethnic racial and gender-based discourse instrumental in creating a Yankee industrial state between 1877 and 1932 and the intellectual cultural and social forces that led to the political rise of Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama in recent decades. In closing Ambar assesses the prospects for a new more invigorated political thought and discourse to reshape and redirect national energies and identity in the Trump presidency. Reconsidering American Political Thought presents a broad and subjective view about critical arguments in American political thought giving future generations of students and lecturers alike an inclusive understanding of how to teach research study and think about American political thought. | Reconsidering American Political Thought A New Identity

Shaping Entrepreneurship Research Made as Well as Found

Shaping Entrepreneurship Research Made as Well as Found

Shaping Entrepreneurship Research: Made as Well as Found is a collection of readings designed to support entrepreneurship research. Focused on a worldview in which the future is open-ended and shapeable through human action – i. e. “made” this collection reframes entrepreneurship as a science of the artificial rather than as a natural or social science. It posits an open-ended universe for the making of human artifacts even if large swathes of nature and society are not within the control of the people making them. The book explores the notion of “made” through 25 foundational readings – classics from the history of ideas. Organized into five sections each classic is individually introduced by the editors in one of five chapters written to explain its relevance and significance for a “made” view of entrepreneurship. Readers will benefit from exposure to these classic ideas and ongoing research in a variety of areas that fall somewhat outside the line-of-sight of traditional entrepreneurship research. Both individually and collectively the readings suggest opportunities to ask new questions and develop new ways of framing entrepreneurship research that carry the discussion beyond worlds found to worlds made as well as found. The book is crafted to be valuable to three groups of scholars: young scholars with limited or no access to research infrastructure but with a desire to participate in deep conversations; young scholars with access to research infrastructure who also desire to listen-in on a different kind of conversation; and established entrepreneurship scholars who are contemplating an alternative set of foundational ideas to support their conversations in the discipline. | Shaping Entrepreneurship Research Made as Well as Found
