The Quartet by Joseph J. Ellis | Summary & Analysis Preview: The Quartet is an historical account of the debates and events leading up to, during, and immediately following the creation of the Constitution of the United States of America. The quartet is four politicians that played an integral role in the creation, shaping, and implementation of the Constitution and early federal government in the US. These include George Washington, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay. Each man had some involvement in the American Revolution, which lent credence to the worthiness of thei

In uneasy partnership at the helm of the modern state stand elected party politicians and professional bureaucrats. This book is the first comprehensive comparison of these two powerful elites. In seven countries--the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, and the Netherlands--researchers questioned 700 bureaucrats and 6OO politicians in an effort to understand how their aims, attitudes, and ambitions differ within cultural settings. One of the authors' most significant findings is that the worlds of these two elites overlap much more in the United States than in Europe. But throughout the West bureaucrats and politicians each wear special blinders and each have special virtues. In a well-ordered polity, the authors conclude, politicians articulate society's dreams and bureaucrats bring them gingerly to earth

Rather than considering political discussions and rhetoric as symbolic, inconsequential forms of politics, Governing with Words conceptualizes them as forms of government action that can shape institutions and societal norms. Daniel Q. Gillion refers to this theory as 'discursive governance'. Federal politicians' statements about racial and ethnic minority concerns aid the passage of minority public policies and improve individual lifestyle behaviors. Unfortunately, most of the American public continues to disapprove of politicians' rhetoric that highlights race. The book argues that addressing racial and ethnic inequality continues to be a tug-of-war between avoiding the backlash of the majority in this nation while advocating for minority interests. Even though this paradox looms over politicians' discussions of race, race-conscious political speech, viewed in its entirety, is the mechanism by which marginalized groups find a place in the democratic process. Such race-conscious discussions, the book argues, have ramifications both within and outside of government.

Winner of the 2003 Diamond Anniversary Book Award presented by the National Communication AssociationIn the media-saturated decade of the 1990s, news reports shaped public sentiment about women in electoral politics and beyond. Mary Douglas Vavrus explores the process of representing political women in media, and argues that contemporary news accounts promote a postfeminist politics that encourages women's private, consumer lifestyles and middle-class aspirations, while it discourages public life and political activism. The author discusses the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings of 1991, the 1991–92 "Year of the Woman" in politics, the 1996 presidential campaign's use of "soccer moms," and Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign for Senate in 2000. Vavrus assesses the logic that emerges in these narratives' recurrent themes about gender and explores their significance for women and for feminism, ultimately arguing that feminism has been supplanted by postfeminism in news accounts of political women.

Dans le premier volume de ses mémoires présidentiels, Barack Obama raconte l'histoire passionnante de son improbable odyssée, celle d'un jeune homme en quête d'identité devenu dirigeant du monde libre, retraçant de manière personnelle son éducation politique et les moments emblématiques du premier mandat de sa présidence - une période de transformations et de bouleversements profonds. Barack Obama nous invite à le suivre dans un incroyable voyage, de ses premiers pas sur la scène politique à sa victoire décisive aux primaires de l'Iowa, et jusqu'à la soirée historique du 4 novembre 2008, lorsqu'il fut élu 44e président des États-Unis, devenant ainsi le premier Afro-Américain à accéder à la fonction suprême. En revenant sur les grandes heures de sa présidence, il nous offre un point de vue unique sur l'exercice du pouvoir présidentiel, ainsi qu'un témoignage singulier sur les ressorts de la politique intérieure et de la diplomatie internationale. Il nous entraîne dans les coulisses de la Maison-Blanche, du Bureau ovale à la salle de crise, et aux quatre coins du monde, de Moscou à Pékin en passant par Le Caire. Il nous confie les réflexions qui l'ont occupé à certains moments cruciaux - la constitution de son gouvernement, la crise financière mondiale, le bras de fer avec Vladimir Poutine, la réforme du système de santé, les différends sur la stratégie militaire des États-Unis en Afghanistan, la réforme de Wall Street, le désastre provoqué par l'explosion de la plateforme pétrolière Deepwater Horizon, et enfin l'opération commando qui a conduit à la mort d'Oussama Ben Laden. Une terre promise est aussi un récit introspectif - l'histoire du pari qu'un homme a lancé à l'Histoire, d'un militant associatif dont la foi a été mise à l'épreuve sur la scène internationale. Barack Obama parle sans détour du défi colossal qu'il lui a fallu relever : être le premier candidat afro-américain à la présidence, incarner "l'espoir et le changement" aux yeux de toute une génération galvanisée par la promesse du renouveau, et devoir à chaque instant prendre des décisions d'une gravité exceptionnelle. Il évoque la façon dont sa vie à la Maison-Blanche a pu affecter sa femme et ses filles, et parle sans fard des moments où il s'est retrouvé en proie au doute et à la déception - sans pour autant renoncer à croire qu'en Amérique le progrès est toujours possible. Ce livre puissant et magnifiquement écrit est l'expression de la conviction profonde de Barack Obama : la démocratie n'est pas un don du ciel, mais un édifice fondé sur l'empathie et la compréhension mutuelle que nous bâtissons ensemble, jour après jour.

Wolfgang Mieder, widely considered the world's greatest proverb scholar, here considers the role of proverbial speech on the American political stage from the Revolutionary War to the present. He begins his survey by discussing the origins and characteristics American proverbs and their spread across the globe hand in hand with America's international political role. He then looks at the history of the defining proverb of American democracy, ""government of the people, by the people, for the people."" Subsequent essays consider such matters as Abigail Adams's masterful use of politically ch--
