The 'crisis of American democracy' debate is advanced in this
engaging new contribution. By referring to Max Weber's long-term
perspective, Stephen Karlberg provides rich new insights into the
particular contours of today's American political culture - and
some reasons for optimism. Kalberg draws upon Weber to reconstruct
political culture in ways that define America's unique spirit of
democracy. Developing several Weber-inspired models, the author
reveals patterns of oscillation in American history. Can these
pendulum movements sustain today the symbiotic dualism that earlier
invigorated American democracy? Can they do so to such an extent
that the American spirit of democracy is rejuvenated? Whilst
exploring whether Weber's explanations and insights can be
generalised beyond the American case, 'Searching for the Spirit of
American Democracy' forcefully argues that facilitating political
cultures is indispensable if democracies are to endure.
