Abstract

The puzzle or query that chiefly concerns this author is why the United States (US) and its foreign policy have such a hard time understanding cultures and societies other than their own. This provocative book argues that the US needs to end its attitudes of superiority and condescension toward other nations and cultures and redirect its foreign policy accordingly.

Abstract

"Lobbying and political interest groups occupy an ambivalent place in advanced democracies. This insightful book injects a new sociological understanding of politics and policy. As the book convincingly reveals, a sociological understanding of lobbying and interest groups illustrates the edges and boundaries of representative democracy itself"--

Abstract

Nos leaders d’opinion ont une théorie pour expliquer les comportements de certains de nos concitoyens, qui exaltent la sagesse des foules ― et, cela va de soi, sont racistes, sexistes et homophobes. Ces égarés, assurent-ils, agissent sous l’emprise d’une doctrine rétrograde, le « populisme » ; et leurs adeptes sont des bourrins incultes qui ont une dent contre leurs congénères instruits. Le populisme est en guerre contre la pensée moderne et le progrès. Il est complice de la diffusion du mal, pour ne pas dire qu’il est le mal lui-même.La façon dont nos progressistes autoproclamés mésusent et abusent désormais du mot « populisme » prouve qu’ils se sont résolument tournés contre leur héritage démocratique. La démocratie pose un problème, expliquent-ils, parce qu’elle permet au peuple de faire fi de l’autorité des experts.Le paysage politique est cul par-dessus tête, mais le combat reste le même : le vrai sujet, ce sont les privilèges des élites, et le populisme est peut-être le remède permettant de nous en délivrer.

Abstract

Argues that ordinary people exercise extraordinary political courage and power in American politics when, frustrated by politics as usual, they rise up in anger and hope, and defy the authorities and the status quo rules that ordinarily govern their daily lives. By doing so, they disrupt the workings of important institutions and become a force in American politics. Drawing on critical episodes in U.S. history, Piven shows that it is in fact precisely at those seismic moments when people act outside of political norms that they become empowered to their full democratic potential.
