A search here for any work that study's the problems of the American political system specifically, or the state of global democracy in general, will return a long list of titles that may differ widely in areas of study, but little in their ultimate conclusions. Democratic processes are no good, because people are uninformed; ignorant. Elections cannot work, and therefore should be abandoned in favor of something more oligarchic, or Athenian. Votes don't matter because the parties fix districts, or because of how votes are tallied or cast. People are not rational consumers of policy, but are immovable group-ish thinkers who must be appealed to with broad sociological constructs. Lacking for quality leadership and statesmanship; fresh faces are necessary. While the list seems endless, the conclusions uniformly agree; the system is broken and is in need of fixing; or discarding! However, these are conclusions consistently drawn from analysis based on the quantitative and derivative. Lacking a more granular approach, a path of analysis and engagement based on the qualitative goes mostly unexplored as simple questions like these are ignored: What is the true driving force behind the electoral dysfunctions of the American system and, are those affects being properly connected to the unraveling of the political and social order of the nation? Have any contemporary or historic reform efforts succeeded? And, if or when they have - or, even if they have failed or are failing - have any lessons been learned, applied; even sought? What role does the model of media in contemporary America play in these dysfunctions? Is positive achievement even possible in an environment that breeds endless amounts of content; but little examines the medium that delivers it? Is there even a demand - a genuine one - from any quarter that a genuine solution to the problem be found? This pervasive approach drives a reactive public- consistently blaming a multitude of offenders. It also feeds the inevitable hope for - and promotion of - a savior; all at the expense of civic responsibility and citizenship. Though all suggestions for better eternally revolve around "of by and for the people" ideas and ideals, what is almost never acknowledged is the impossibility of a functional democratic-republic without a visible, coherent, and enduring assembly of informed, vigilant, and powerful citizens. If more than lip service is paid to that truth, things get simple as no question can remain as to what the real problem is. That is the central point of the WeLeadUSA contributors in their work "Unbroken America"; a highly interactive reading experience that reinforces its explanations and suggestions with precision video and infographic materials. (Print version readers will eventually want to find an internet connection) They contend we are blinded to the fact that the system works quite well- for those who participate wisely and argue rationality demands it be acknowledged that the elite advantages are in fact earned. However, they prove that those advantages are also only proportional to the absence and ineffectuality of the people; and that nothing stops this from changing. Throughout its pages that examine everything from electoral outcomes to the omissions of professional advocacy and the failures of alternative media, the book is essentially a proposal and plan for a powerful, enduing remedy; one that will require no laws, reforms, or amendments; and has long hidden in plain sight.

The Hill Times: Best Books of 2017 What if it is not our political system that is broken, but our understanding of it? Everybody thinks that it’s the system that’s broken in politics; but what if it’s not the system that’s broken but rather our understanding of it? What if everyone’s proposals to make the system “more democratic” only wind up making things worse, and weaken our systems of accountability so much as to make them meaningless? What if it’s our own ignorance that is killing democracy in this country? Dale Smith looks at the critical gaps in civic literacy that have become endemic within Canadian political culture, wading through buzzwords and meaningless proposals to suggest real solutions. Designed for the lay reader, The Unbroken Machine seeks to explore our lack of civic literacy and show how our system of democracy should work — if only we were to engage with it the way it was meant to be.

Embraced with zeal by a wide array of activists and policymakers, the restorative justice movement has made promises to reduce the disproportionate rates of Aboriginal involvement in crime and the criminal justice system and to offer a healing model suitable to Aboriginal communities. Such promises should be the focus of considerable critical analysis and evaluation, yet this kind of scrutiny has largely been absent. 'Will the Circle be Unbroken?' explores and confronts the potential and pitfalls of restorative justice, offering a much-needed critical perspective. Drawing on their shared experiences working with Aboriginal communities, Jane Dickson-Gilmore and Carol LaPrairie examine the outcomes of restorative justice projects, paying special attention to such prominent programs as conferencing, sentencing circles, and healing circles. They also look to Aboriginal justice reforms in other countries, comparing and contrasting Canadian reforms with the restorative efforts in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. 'Will the Circle be Unbroken?' provides a comprehensive overview of the critical issues in Aboriginal and restorative justice, placing these in the context of community. It examines the essential role of community in furthering both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal aspirations for restorative justice.

This book explores the privatization of space and its global impact on the future of commerce, peace and conflict. As space becomes more congested, contested, and competitive in the government and the private arenas, the talk around space research moves past NASA’s monopoly on academic and cultural imaginations to discuss how Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin is making space "cool" again. This volume addresses the new rhetoric of space race and weaponization, with a focus on how the costs of potential conflict in space would discourage open conflict and enable global cooperation. It highlights the increasing dependence of the global economy on space research, its democratization, plunging costs of access, and growing economic potential of space-based assets. Thoughtful, nuanced, well-documented, this book is a must read for scholars and researchers of science and technology studies, space studies, political studies, sociology, environmental studies, and political economy. It will also be of much interest to policymakers, bureaucrats, think tanks, as well as the interested general reader looking for fresh perspectives on the future of space.
