Abstract

Wat is populisme? biedt een overtuigende analyse van wat er nu eigenlijk aan de hand is en is een must read voor eenieder die de oorzaken en het succes van dit snelgroeiende fenomeen wil begrijpen. Populisten als Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen en Geert Wilders drukken steeds duidelijker hun stempel op de mondiale politiek. Het fenomeen verspreidt zich razendsnel over heel Europa en de rest van de wereld. Maar wat ís populisme eigenlijk precies? In dit essay geeft Jan-Werner Müller antwoord op deze zeer actuele en dringende vraag. Brengt populisme regering en volk nader tot elkaar of is het een bedreiging voor de democratie? Wat is het verschil tussen links en rechts populisme? Uit wie bestaat ?het volk? eigenlijk en wie kan namens dat volk spreken?

Abstract

How has memory - collective and individual - influenced European politics after the Second World War and after 1989 in particular? How has the past been used in domestic struggles for power, and how have 'historical lessons' been applied in foreign policy? While there is now a burgeoning field of social and cultural memory studies, mostly focused on commemorations and monuments, this volume is the first to examine the connection between memory and politics directly. It investigates how memory is officially recast, personally reworked and often violently re-instilled after wars, and, above all, the ways memory shapes present power constellations. The chapters combine theoretical innovation in their approach to the study of memory with deeply historical, empirically based case studies of major European countries. The volume concludes with reflections on the ethics of memory, and the politics of truth, justice and forgetting after 1945 and 1989.

Abstract

"Confronting a series of caricatures of Isaiah Berlin, three insightful scholars ponder his relevance for our own time. Was Berlin’s ‘Cold War liberalism’ also an attempt at relentless criticism of liberal complacency? Far from propounding a dogmatic liberalism, did Berlin not acknowledge, alongside a ‘moral minimum,” the necessity of political compromise? Whatever the answers, this book successfully redeems Berlin for continuing engagement in a new era." —Samuel Moyn, Yale University "As we settle into a new century of global conflict, the contours of the one just ended are snapping into focus. This volume casts fresh light on one of that century's most humanist observers: Isaiah Berlin. Through historical and philosophical exploration, the three authors here ask us to consider Berlin and his legacy anew, asking what he meant in his time, and what he might mean for us." —James Chappel, Duke University "A very stimulating volume that places Berlin’s thought in the post-war context without reducing it to a mere expression of its time. The essays help us to see that it was as much Berlin's “untidy” exploration of political psychology as his principles that expressed the liberalism he cherished." —Mark Lilla, Columbia University This book offers a critical re-examination of Berlin’s Cold War liberalism, at a time when many observers worry about the emergence of new global, partly ideologically driven conflicts. Jan-Werner Müller is a professor of politics at Princeton University.

Abstract

Constitutional Patriotism offers a new theory of citizenship and civic allegiance for today's culturally diverse liberal democracies. Rejecting conventional accounts of liberal nationalism and cosmopolitanism, Jan-Werner Müller argues for a form of political belonging centered on universalist norms, adapted for specific constitutional cultures. At the same time, he presents a novel approach to thinking about political belonging and the preconditions of democratic legitimacy beyond the nation-state. The book takes the development of the European Union as a case study, but its lessons apply also to the United States and other parts of the world. Müller's essay starts with an engaging historical account of the origins and spread of the concept of constitutional patriotism-the idea that political attachment ought to center on the norms and values of a liberal democratic constitution rather than a national culture or the "global human community." In a more analytical part, he then proposes a critical conception of citizenship that makes room for dissent and civil disobedience while taking seriously a polity's need for stability over time. Müller's theory of constitutional patriotism responds to the challenges of the de facto multiculturalism of today's states--with a number of concrete policy implications about immigration and the preconditions for citizenship clearly spelled out. And it asks what civic empowerment could mean in a globalizing world.

Abstract

This book is the first major account of political thought in twentieth-century Europe, both West and East, to appear since the end of the Cold War. Skillfully blending intellectual, political, and cultural history, Jan-Werner Müller elucidates the ideas that shaped the period of ideological extremes before 1945 and the liberalization of West European politics after the Second World War. He also offers vivid portraits of famous as well as unjustly forgotten political thinkers and the movements and institutions they inspired. Müller pays particular attention to ideas advanced to justify fascism and how they relate to the special kind of liberal democracy that was created in postwar Western Europe. He also explains the impact of the 1960's and neoliberalism, ending with a critical assessment of today's self-consciously post-ideological age.
