In Search Of A Strong Agenda: An Interview With Kenneth M. Curtis, Kenneth Curtis
In Search Of A Strong Agenda: An Interview With Kenneth M. Curtis, Kenneth Curtis
Maine Policy Review
In an interview this fall with Maine Policy Review, Kenneth Curtis, the former governor, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and former U.S. ambassador to Canada, shared his insights into the civic and political life of Maine and the nation. Not surprisingly, Curtis, currently president of Maine Maritime Academy, argues that many attitudes about the ineffectiveness and the unresponsiveness of government could be overcome by strong leadership from the executives of federal and state governments. He asserts that federal and state chief executives need to offer a vision of the future, put forth strong political agendas, and then …
Reflections On Citizenship: Thinking About Power As Interaction, Leslie I. Hill
Reflections On Citizenship: Thinking About Power As Interaction, Leslie I. Hill
Maine Policy Review
The steady decline of participation in many areas of public life suggests that we may be overlooking power as not only a source of the problem, but also as a critical part of the solution. Leslie Hill argues that to revive concepts of citizenship and democratic participation enshrined in the language of the nation's founding, we ought to rethink conventional ideas about power as control and domination and, in the alternative, view power as interaction. She also suggests that we need to adopt new approaches to civic education that include this concept of power as interactive politics. Underlying this argument, …
A Business Perspective On Education: Launching A Revolution Of Participation, James F. Orr Iii
A Business Perspective On Education: Launching A Revolution Of Participation, James F. Orr Iii
Maine Policy Review
Business has been increasingly concerned about the reform of education in the U.S. in recent years, according to James F. Orr III, chief executive officer of UNUM. Although financial resources have been contributed to the reform efforts, Orr admits, business has not taken the larger step of actually participating in the process of education reform. Participation, he argues, is central to changing schools to respond to the realities of the 21st century. Business must retake ownership of American schools, along with other stakeholders and citizens in general. In this article, based on an address made earlier this year at a …
Assessing Public Participation In Maine: The Old And The New In Civic Involvement, David D. Platt
Assessing Public Participation In Maine: The Old And The New In Civic Involvement, David D. Platt
Maine Policy Review
Lack of citizen participation in American government is a complaint frequently voiced by politicians, political scientists and media commentators. The steady decline in voting, the rising number of Americans who say they are disaffected with their government, and the increase in two-earner households all have been cited as evidence of this decreased involvement by Americans in public life. Maine, with its long tradition of participatory democracy, reflected in town meeting government at the local level, is not necessarily a microcosm of what is occurring nationally. The state has, however, experienced its share of some of the civic maladies note nationally, …

Repairing The Three-Legged Stool Of Ethics: A Conversation With Rushworth Kidder, Rushworth Kidder
Repairing The Three-Legged Stool Of Ethics: A Conversation With Rushworth Kidder, Rushworth Kidder
Maine Policy Review
As founder and president of the two-year-old Institute for Global Ethics (in Camden, Maine), Rushworth Kidder concerns himself not only with chronicling the moral dissonance that characterizes contemporary American society, but also with identifying and trying approaches that address this discord. He is someone who is troubled by what is, but is full of hope for what can be. Earlier this year, Maine Policy Review visited Kidder and queried him about his work and the state of the nation's political values and institutions. This article is an edited version of his comments.
