Legitimizing Authority American Government and the Promise of Equality

Legitimizing Authority places the American state apparatus back in the foreground to rethink the development of the country’s government in the context of its unfulfilled promise of equality. The book argues that the tensions between calls for equality and the simultaneous tolerance of inequality have accompanied the rise of modern mass society and with it of liberal democracy. Vormann and Lammert emphasize that government has played and continues to play a decisive role in calibrating the relationship between the interior and the exterior of the nation moving between an extractive state a taxation state and a welfare state over time in order to expand social access and political participation inside the national community – while tolerating conditions that continue to belie the historical promise of equality. The authors draw on a range of literatures that transcend disciplinary boundaries to reveal how exploitative practices have been accepted. They conclude that the democratic crises of the present must be comprehended through understanding how legitimation was always maintained by a state apparatus active at multiple scales and in multiple policy fields. This interdisciplinary book is addressed to a broad audience across disciplines including political science political economy political history comparative politics international politics international relations American Political Development (APD) and cultural studies. | Legitimizing Authority American Government and the Promise of Equality

The Trump Presidency Continuity and Change in US Foreign Policy

Did Donald Trump decisively transform and alter the course of US foreign policy? All presidents promise change but few presidents promise changes as radical as Trump did during his presidency. The extent to which Trump delivered on that promise however remains hotly debated with little or no agreement. The chapters in this edited volume argue that much of this debate is a dialogue of the deaf where scholars speak past rather than to each other where the basis for claims about change or continuity is unclear and where the argument and knowledge consequently fails to progress. At its heart this is a problem of theory and methods. Employing a diverse range of theoretical and methodological perspectives this book seeks to move the debate beyond a superficial focus on events to more fundamental questions of how change is defined measured and explained and in doing so attempts to advance understanding of foreign policy change and the extent to which Trump can really be considered to have been a transformative president. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Global Affairs. | The Trump Presidency Continuity and Change in US Foreign Policy

The Ideal of the University

The Ideal of the University is a lucid comprehensive analysis of the rationale principles and presuppositions that make contemporary universities what they are. The book begins with four sharp carefully delineated models of a university. After analyzing such controversial issues as the role of grading in the university and the myth of value neutrality. Wolff turns to the crucial question of how the university should be governed. He argues for a radical reconstruction based on a social contract that would place ultimate authority in the hands of the faculty and students. The book concludes with a series of practical proposals for Utopian reform including such provocative recommendations as a variable-length ungraded undergraduate program and elimination of the Ph. D. degree. In his introduction to this new edition Wolff expands upon his original speculations to argue in substantive detail for the liberating potential of the liberal arts. Drawing upon Freud and Marcuse Wolff proposes that literature art and philosophy embody a promise of gratification that engenders a negative critique of the social and cultural status quo. The rationale for the liberal arts university is society's need for a reservoir of critical thinking that is the motor of social economic and political progress. Elegantly written and passionately argued; The Ideal of the University is essential reading for educators and sociologists.

The Future of Religious Heritage Entangled Temporalities of the Sacred and the Secular

The Future of Religious Heritage examines the resurgence of religious heritage in a secular age and frames such heritage as both legacy from the past and promise for the future. Drawing on case studies from across Europe this volume addresses the intersection of three well-defined areas of research: secularism religious heritage and the question of renewal. Considering the heritagisation of religion and the sacralisation of heritage contributions to the book consider to what extent the idea of renewal so pivotal to religious and secular ontologies is present in heritage formations. Thinking about the temporalities of re-enactment and reconstruction this volume examines whether heritage practices incorporate religious time into secular practice. Problematising such temporalities of the sacred in our post-secular age the volume explores how these intersections of religious and secular time in heritage practices inform constructions of the future. The Future of Religious Heritage addresses the paradox of the secularisation of religion and the sacralisation of heritage in a post-secular age. It will appeal to academics and students with an interest in critical heritage studies religion and (post)secularism and will also be of interest to those studying re-enactment regeneration and renewal. | The Future of Religious Heritage Entangled Temporalities of the Sacred and the Secular

The New Nationalism

Nationalism the state of mind in which the individual's supreme loyalty is owed to the nation-state remains the strongest of political emotions. As a historical phenomenon it is always in flux changing according to no preconceived pattern. In The New Nationalism Louis Snyder sees various forms of nationalism and categorizes them as a force for unity; a force for the status quo; a force for independence; a force for fraternity; a force for colonial expansion; a force for aggression; a force for economic expansion; and a force for anti-colonialism. In Snyder's opinion nationalism should be differentiated from Theodore Roosevelt's New Nationalism a phrase he borrowed from Herbert D. Croly's The Promise of American Life. Croly warned that giving too much power to big industry and finance would lead to the degradation of the masses and that state and federal intervention must be pursued on all economic fronts. Roosevelt expanded upon this concept and saw the flourishing of democratic government as a means of reviving the old pioneer sense of individualism and opportunity. Snyder in contrast extends the work of the two major pioneers in the study of modern nationalism Carlton J. H. Hayes and Hans Kohn in exploring this most powerful sentiment of modern times and showing how it relates to the political economic and psychological tendencies of historical development.

The Informal Sector and the Environment

The informal economy – broadly defined as economic activity that is not subject to government regulation or taxation – sustains a large part of the world's workforce. It is a diverse complex and growing area of activity. However being largely unregulated its impact on the environment has not been closely scrutinised or analysed. This edited volume demonstrates that the informal sector is a major source of environmental pollution and a major reason behind the environmental degradation accompanying the expansion of economic activity in developing countries. Environmental regulation and economic incentive policies are difficult to implement in this sector because economic units are unregistered geographically dispersed and difficult to identify. Moreover given their limited capital base they cannot afford to pay pollution fees or install pollution abating equipment. Informal manufacturing units often operate under unscientific and unhealthy conditions further contributing to polluting the environment. The book emphasizes and examines these challenges and their solutions encountered in various sectors of the informal economy including urban waste pickers small-scale farmers informal workers home-based workers street vendors and more. If the informal sector is to Leave no one behind (as the Sustainable Development Goals promise) and contribute to inclusive growth (an objective of the green economy) then its impact on the economy as well as the environment has to be carefully considered. This book marks a significant contribution to the literature on both the informal economy and sustainable development and will be of great interest to readers in economics geography politics environment studies and public policy more broadly.

The Cult of the Ego The Self in Modern Literature

Goethe once remarked that every emancipation of the spirit is pernicious unless there is a corresponding growth of control. This remark may be taken as a motto for Eugene Goodheart's study of an aspect of the cultural history of the past two hundred years. In separate chapters on Rousseau Stendhal Goethe and Carlyle Dostoevsky Whitman Lawrence and Joyce Goodheart discovers a community of concern which he calls the cult of the ego. All these writers examined here in one way or another deal with the emancipation of the spirit with all its promise and danger. The characteristic attempt is to extend the boundaries of the self by going beyond the area of safety and. thereby risking even the destruction of the self. They advance the claims of the self at the same time seeking the controls that will secure these claims. The artist-hero becomes the central figure in Goodheart's volume since it is he who comes to exemplify the possibilities of the cult of the ego. Their efforts Goodheart argues have ambiguous results. The seeds of contemporary nihilism are in the failures of these writers to master the chaos of egoism which they helped engender. But their heroism was partly in the effort of resistance: moral religious aesthetic. In a large portion of modern literature resistance has been abandoned either out of exhaustion or out of fascination with the destructive tendency of modern life: in Beckett's phrase a world endlessly collapsing. In his introduction to this first paperback edition Goodheart discusses the book's origin in relation to the counter-cultural unrest of 1968 when it was first published and weighs its theme of the emancipated self against current postmodern assertions of the death of the author. The Cult of the Ego is written with admirable clarity and economy. Its interests are literary moral and political. Moving freely and knowledgeably among various national literatures Goodheart has made an original and valuable contribution to the field of comparative literature. Eugene Goodheart is Edytha Macy Gross Professor of Humanities Emeritus at Brandeis University. Among his books are Novel Practices: Classic Modern Fiction Modernism and the Critical Spirit Culture and the Radical Conscience and Confessions of a Secular Jew: A Memoir all available from Transaction. | The Cult of the Ego The Self in Modern Literature

The Nordic Model of Digital Archiving

The Nordic Model of Digital Archiving explores the roots and strengths of Nordic digital archiving and proposes new directions to guide digital archivists in addressing the challenges posed by ever-changing digital technologies and the datafication of information and records. Digitization and born-digital records promise efficient and cost-effective solutions to everything from preservation of data to easy user access. However digitization also poses challenges for archival practitioners worldwide. Bringing together contributions from practitioners and academics to offer a range of international case studies this book offers practical solutions for archivists in terms of governance technologies and processes. It highlights and analyses the cornerstones of the Nordic model of archiving: reliance on standards; powerful regulatory instruments - especially in public sector archiving including legislation; and collaboration between archivists and government agencies and among different tiers of central and local government. While showcasing work in the Nordic region for the benefit of archivists and record keepers globally this volume also challenges the limits of the Nordic model with insights drawn from international archival theory. The Nordic Model of Digital Archiving offers a new perspective on archiving that will be of interest to academics researchers and postgraduate students of archiving digital archives and records management.
