The Road To Mass Democracy: Original Intent And The Seventeenth Amendment, Christopher Hoebeke
The Road To Mass Democracy: Original Intent And The Seventeenth Amendment, Christopher Hoebeke
Christopher H Hoebeke
Until 1913 and passage of the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, US senators were elected by state legislatures, not directly by the people. Progressive Era reformers urged this revision in answer to the corruption of state "machines" under the dominance of party bosses. They also believed that direct elections would make the Senate more responsive to popular concerns regarding the concentrations of business, capital, and labor that in the industrial era gave rise to a growing sense of individual voicelessness. Popular control over the higher affairs of government was thought to be possible, since the spread of information …

Anatomy Of Dissent In Islamic Societies, Ahmed Souaiaia
Anatomy Of Dissent In Islamic Societies, Ahmed Souaiaia
Ahmed E SOUAIAIA
The 'Arab Spring' that began in 2011 has placed a spotlight on the transfer of political power in Islamic societies, reviving old questions about the place of political dissent and rebellion in Islamic civilization and raising new ones about the place of religion in modern Islamic societies.
In Anatomy of Dissent in Islamic Societies, Ahmed E. Souaiaia examines the complex historical evolution of Islamic civilization in an effort to trace the roots of the paradigms and principles of Islamic political and legal theories. This study is one of the first attempts at providing a fuller picture of the place of …
Reclaiming Egalitarianism In The Political Theory Of Campaign Finance Reform, Frank Pasquale
Reclaiming Egalitarianism In The Political Theory Of Campaign Finance Reform, Frank Pasquale
Frank A. Pasquale
Recent advocacy for campaign finance reform has been based on an ideal of the democratic process which is unrealistic and unhelpful. Scholars should instead return to its egalitarian roots. This article examines how deliberative democratic theory became the main justification for campaign finance reform. It exposes the shortcomings of this deliberativist detour and instead models campaign spending as an effort to commodify issue-salience. Given this dominant function of money in politics, a more effective paradigm for reform is equalizing influence. Advocates of campaign regulation should return to the original principles of reformers; not an idealized vision of the democratic process, …
Antigone Claimed: 'I Am A Stranger!' Political Theory And The Figure Of The Stranger, Andrés Henao-Castro
Antigone Claimed: 'I Am A Stranger!' Political Theory And The Figure Of The Stranger, Andrés Henao-Castro
Andrés Fabián Henao-Castro
This paper seeks to destabilize the silent privilege given to the secured juridical-political position of the citizen as the stable site of enunciation of the problem/solution framework under which the stranger (foreigner, immigrant, refugee) is theoretically located. By means of textual, intertextual, and extratextual readings of Antigone , the paper argues that it is politically and literarily possible to (re)invent her for strangers in the twenty-first century, that is, for those symbolically produced as not-legally locatable and who resignify their ambivalent ontological status between life and death as an alternative sociopolitical location of speech and action in equality with 'others.'

We Have Never Been Liberal: The Environmentalist Turn To Liberalism And The Possibilities For Social Criticism
John Meyer
Államelmélet És Játékelmélet. Mirõl Szól Az Alkotmány Közgazdaságtana? [Game Theory And The Theory Of The State. An Outline Of Constitutional Economics], Peter Cserne
Péter Cserne
A large number of central theoretical problems of modern Western states can be epitomised in a three-cornered dilemma, i.e. a situation where a choice has to be made among three potentially incompatible principles. To the tension between democracy and constitutionalism (popular participation and constitutional constraints) the goal of efficient decision-making adds a third dimension. Constitutional economics is interpreted here as an analytical approach to law, state and politics, based on rational choice theory. It endeavours both an explanatory and a justificatory task. By offering methodological tools for the economic analysis of constitutional law and for political philosophy, rational choice theory …
