Der Staat ist für den Menschen da und nicht der Mensch für den Staat! Paul Kirchhof, Hoffnungsträger und Reizfigur des Bundestagswahlkampfes 2005, fordert die fundamentale Erneuerung unseres Landes aus unmittelbarer Vernunft heraus. Der deutsche Staat, so Kirchhofs Diagnose, ist zu einer Hydra, einem vielköpfigen Ungeheuer verkommen: Mit dem Bild der Hydra, der immer wieder neue Köpfe nachwachsen, beschreibt er die Verbiegung des Rechts, der Vernunft, die Entgrenzung des Staates und seine ausufernden Eingriffe in das Leben der Bürger.

Known as the age of democracy, the 19th century witnessed the extension of the franchise and the rise of party politics. As Daniel Carpenter shows, however, democracy in America emerged not merely through elections and parties, but through the transformation of an ancient political tool: the petition. A statement of grievance accompanied by a list of signatures, the petition afforded women and men excluded from formal politics the chance to make their voices heard and to reshape the landscape of political possibility.

Everyone knows that democracy is in trouble, but do we know what democracy actually is? Political philosopher Jan-Werner Müller, author of the widely acclaimed What Is Populism?, takes us back to basics. In this short, elegant volume, he explains how democracy is founded on three vital principles: liberty, equality and also uncertainty. The latter, he argues, is crucial for ensuring democracy's dynamic and creative character.

Med sit helt særlige talent for at gøre fortiden levende, fortæller Pia Fris Laneth i 1915 historien om, hvordan kvinder og tyende blev borgere.

In Defense of Liberal Democracy is a clarion call for today's divided time: a bold reaffirmation of the liberal democratic principles that have carried America through each crisis in its history - and can do so again.

Addressed in the cookbook is the historical fact that Chandler is the hometown of one of the most progressive US senators ever to serve from Texas - a true populist politician - Sen. Ralph W.

Why cooperate? This may be the most important scientific question we have ever, and will ever, face. The science of cooperation tells us not only how we got here, but also where we might end up. Cooperation explains how strands of DNA gave rise to modern-day nation states. It defines our extraordinary ecological success, as well as many of the most surprising features of what make us human: not only why we live in families, why we have grandmothers and why women experience the menopause, but also why we become paranoid and jealous, and why we cheat.

No political concept is more used, and misused, than that of democracy. Nearly every regime today claims to be democratic, but not all "democracies" allow free politics, and free politics existed long before democratic franchises. This book is a short account of the history of the doctrine and practice of democracy, from ancient Greece and Rome through the American, French, and Russian revolutions, and of the usages and practices associated with it in the modern world.

Throughout history, humans have been driven by the quest for two cherished ideals: community and freedom. The two don’t coexist easily.

Weckruf aus dem Osten: Wie unsere Demokratie noch zu retten ist. Dies ist die Streitschrift zum Wahljahr: Dirk Neubauer, der Bürgermeister der sächsischen Stadt Augustusburg, will unser politisches System umbauen. Denn: Die Demokratie erreicht die Menschen nicht mehr. Das will Neubauer ändern.

John Kampfner ist Brite und zeigt, wie sehr sich das Deutschland-Bild im Ausland in den letzten Jahren verändert hat. Die deutsche Krisenpolitik hält er für Weltklasse: Corona-Bekämpfung, Finanzkrise, Flüchtlingskrise - kein Land navigiere so erfolgreich und souverän durch schwierige Zeiten wie Deutschland. Während anderswo autoritäre Politiker und Populisten regieren, sei Deutschland ein Bollwerk aus Anstand und Stabilität.
