Excerpt from The War Its Practical Lessons to Democracy: A Paper Read Before the National Municipal League at a Conference Held in Detroit, November 22, 1917 While this address deals with problems of public business, the underlying principles discussed are those which should be kept constantly in mind, both by the management and those who benefit by the efficient management of enterprise. In fact, a standard textbook on the subject of "Management" could be written around what, in this, are called the five essentials of success in the struggle of Democracy to survive, namely: - A strong, intelligent leadership. A well-disciplined line organization. A well-trained staff organization. A regularly constituted forum for independent inquiry and discussion of results and proposals, and for the determination of questions of policy. A prompt and effective means of electoral control. Every competitor of business is in a struggle to survive. We do not call it war, but failure to compete means that it would be wiped out as surely as would France by the success of Prussian Autocracy. Substitute the owner or stock-holder for elector and the public, and the foregoing may be accepted as the five essentials of the successful management of a great industry or any number of them.

This book is based on an in-depth filmed conversation between Howard Burton and Josiah Ober, Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis Professor in Honor of Constantine Mitsotakis Professor of Political Science and Classics at Stanford University. This extensive conversation includes topics such as the serendipitous factors that led him to study the classical world, the insights that examining rhetoric provide about ancient Athenian society, and how social media might help us fruitfully recreate aspects of the past. Through an engaging dialogue format Josiah Ober discusses his insights that the ancient Athenians didn’t just happen to stumble upon the idea of democracy—they somehow managed to make it work in practice for the better part of 200 years, all the while facing many of the same divisive societal pressures that we are currently grappling with. This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, Back to the Future, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter: I. Cutting One’s Wisdom Teeth - How a girlfriend’s dental work leads to Thucydides II. Digging Deeper - Contrasting wars and lurking contradictions III. Battling Iron Laws - Athenian democracy as a counterexample IV. Feet to the Fire? - Using new and old media to keep politicians on point V. Why Athens? - Addressing elite capture and economic and political equality VI. Dissent - Critiquing our system or our values VII. Enter Aristotle - The perils of being a cat in a box VIII. Increasing Eudaimonia - Improving democracy IX. Dignity - An essential ingredient of a flourishing democracy X. Keeping It Real - Engaging the general public with scholarly insights About Ideas Roadshow Conversations Series: This book is part of an expanding series of 100+ Ideas Roadshow conversations, each one presenting a wealth of candid insights from a leading expert, generated through a focused yet informal setting to give non-specialists a uniquely accessible window into frontline research and scholarship that wouldn't otherwise be encountered through standard lectures and textbooks.

Few words are more familiar than war and democracy. It is also arguable that few are more ambiguous. What exactly is meant by these words, and what are the relations between them? Developing several of the arguments of his pioneering History and Philosophy of the Social Sciences Peter T. Manicas here interrogates the historical meanings of ′war′ and ′democracy′, and traces the pattern of their interconnections within a variety of exemplary contexts, including ancient Greece, renaissance Italy, revolutionary America, France and Russia, and Weimar Germany. In so doing, the author contributes to an explanation of our present situation, in which entire populations who have no say in the decision to war may be subject to enormous suffering and sacrifice. The problem of ′democracy′, construed as an ideal, cannot be solved, it is argued, until there is a solution to the problem of war. Conversely, the human blight of war will not be eliminable until mankind achieves some significant steps in the direction of greater democracy. War and Democracy is more than a history of two ideas. It is also a challenging and humane attempt to make political theory concrete, urging that the attempt to understand the past can have genuine practical applications.

In both Europe and North America, populist movements have shattered existing party systems and thrown governments into turmoil. The embattled establishment claims that these populist insurgencies seek to overthrow liberal democracy. The truth is no less alarming but is more complex: Western democracies are being torn apart by a new class war. In this controversial and groundbreaking new analysis, Michael Lind, one of America’s leading thinkers, debunks the idea that the insurgencies are primarily the result of bigotry, traces how the breakdown of mid-century class compromises between business and labor led to the conflict, and reveals the real battle lines. On one side is the managerial overclass—the university-credentialed elite that clusters in high-income hubs and dominates government, the economy and the culture. On the other side is the working class of the low-density heartlands—mostly, but not exclusively, native and white. The two classes clash over immigration, trade, the environment, and social values, and the managerial class has had the upper hand. As a result of the half-century decline of the institutions that once empowered the working class, power has shifted to the institutions the overclass controls: corporations, executive and judicial branches, universities, and the media. The class war can resolve in one of three ways: • The triumph of the overclass, resulting in a high-tech caste system. • The empowerment of populist, resulting in no constructive reforms • A class compromise that provides the working class with real power Lind argues that Western democracies must incorporate working-class majorities of all races, ethnicities, and creeds into decision making in politics, the economy, and culture. Only this class compromise can avert a never-ending cycle of clashes between oligarchs and populists and save democracy.

Henderson (political science, Wayne State U.) uses the same basic research design of the democratic peace proposition (DPP)--which contends that democracies rarely fight each other, are generally more peaceful than nondemocracies, and rarely experience civil war--to challenge the validity of the DPP. His results indicate that democracy is not significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of international war, militarized disputes, or civil wars in postcolonial states. He finds that in war between states and nonstate actors, such as colonial and imperial wars, democracies in general are less likely but Western states, specifically, are more likely to become involved in this type of "extrastate" war. He argues that global peace will require more than a worldwide spread of democracy. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
