Ideals and Ideologies: A Reader is a comprehensive compilation of
classic and contemporary readings representing all of the major
"isms." It offers students a generous sampling of key thinkers in
different ideological traditions and places them in their
historical and political contexts. Used on its own or with
Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal, the anthology
accounts for the different ways people use ideology and conveys the
continuing importance of ideas in politics. New to this 11th
Edition: Alexander Keyssar, "Voter Suppression, Then and Now" (a
distinguished historian traces the tawdry history of attempts,
successful and unsuccessful, to disenfranchise voters). Andrew
Sullivan, "Democracies End When They Become Too Democratic" (an
eminent conservative commentator and author argues that, under
certain circumstances, democracies pose a danger to their very own
existence). Timothy Egan, "The Dumbed Down Democracy" (a prominent
author and columnist argues that American democracy has been
"dumbed down" due, in large part, to the absence of civic education
in the public school curriculum). Max Boot and David Brooks,
"Conservatives Assess Trump" (two leading contemporary
conservatives ponder the fundamental ideological problems the
current president poses for the movement, and consider the ways in
which Donald Trump is-and isn't-a true conservative). Eugene V.
Debs, "Speech to the Conference for Progressive Political Action"
(an early 20th-century American socialist and former presidential
candidate articulates his vision for a new workers' party that
would challenge capitalism in the United States). Robert Kagan,
"This is How Fascism Comes to America" (a prominent neoconservative
historian detects disturbing parallels between the rise of Donald
Trump and that of various interwar fascists). Erik Loomis, "A New
Chapter in the Black Liberation Movement" (an American historian
makes the case for Black Liberation with a particularly compelling
case study: how prisoners (mainly black) work essentially as slaves
in both public and for-profit prisons in the United States). Black
Lives Matter, "A Vision for Black Lives: Demands for Black Power,
Freedom & Justice" (leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement
set forth their basic ideological beliefs and public policy
prescriptions). Josephine Livingstone, "The Task Ahead for
Feminism" (the author argues that much remains to be done after the
#MeToo movement).
Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal analyzes political
ideologies to help readers understand individual ideologies, and
the concept of ideology, from a political science perspective. This
best-selling title promotes open-mindedness and develops critical
thinking skills. It covers a wide variety of political ideologies
from the traditional liberalism and conservatism to recent
developments in liberation politics, the emergence of the
Alt-Right, and environmental politics. NEW TO THIS EDITION Focus on
the recent rise of populism and an "illiberal democracy" and how
this poses a real challenge to the pillars of Western Liberal
democracy; A look at early Conservatives and the idea of "natural
aristocracy" with focus on the thoughts of Edmund Burke; A new
discussion on whether Donald Trump is really a conservative, and if
so, to what extent this is true; An expanded look at Stalinism and
the apparent rebirth of "Mao Zedong thought" in China through "Xi
Jinping thought"; A more in-depth look at the rise of Hitler and
the Nazi Party and how "myth" was crucial to legitimizing both the
man and the party; New section on the history of American Fascism,
from its origins to the recent emergence of the "Alt-Right";
Expansion of the discussion around the recent protest movements
Black Lives Matter, and #MeToo, along with the repercussions of
these movements; Discussion on the obstacles facing transgender
people implemented in recent years, including the bathroom laws and
the ban from US military service; Account of how Donald Trump has
galvanized the environmental movement like never before, through
his ardent anti-environment policies and appointments; In-depth
look at how the effects of climate change are increasingly turning
people into "environmental migrants" and how the presence of these
people has fueled far-right movements across Europe and the US;
Additional photos throughout; An updated, author-written
Instructor's Manual and Test Bank.
War and Border Crossings brings together renowned scholars to
address some of the most pressing problems in public policy,
international affairs, and the intercultural issues of our day.
Contributors from widely varying disciplines discuss cross-cultural
ethical issues and international topics ranging from American
international policy and the invasion and occupation of Iraq to
domestic topics such as immigration, the war on drugs,
cross-cultural bioethics and ethical issues involving American
Indian tribes. The culture clashes discussed in these essays raise
serious questions about what principles ought to inform the
negotiating of conflicts in order to achieve, or at least approach,
outcomes that are fundamentally just, fair, responsible, and
ethical.

In a time when liberal arts education is increasingly under attack,
this volume reminds readers that dedicated teachers at colleges and
universities are passing on the heritage of liberal education as
well as constructing its future. Future citizens, businesswomen and
men, scientists, artists and those working in educational or social
programs will all benefit from the insights of this volume into
historical, ethical, literary and philosophical perspectives
provided by core text liberal arts education.
Seemingly there is no political debate which doesn't devolve into an argument over rights. For centuries a cornerstone of liberal theory, rights claims have become so over-used as to blur cases of real abuse. In this original and provocative study, Dagger argues for a republican liberalism that, while celebrating the liberal heritage of autonomy and rights, solidly places these within social relations and obligations, which while ubiquitous, are often obscured and forgotten.
