To Restore American Democracy : Political Education and the Modern University, Paperback / softback Book

To Restore American Democracy : Political Education and the Modern University Paperback / softback

Edited by Robert E. Calvert

Paperback / softback

Description

At a time when democracy in America suffers from a profound sense of cynicism, lack of trust, and disengagement, especially among young adults, this book is a much needed antidote. Here are original essays by some of the most distinguished and insightful political thinkers of our time.

No armchair observers, they have advised presidents, been public servants, testified before Congress, helped other countries draft constitutions, worked as journalists, and won teaching awards.

They participate ardently in the polity and civil society they write about here. The main focus of the essays is what role universities might be able to play in reviving a sense of citizenship and civic responsibility in our society.

They represent different perspectives and differing opinions, making this a rich stimulus for discussion and action.

At stake is nothing less than the future strength of democracy in the United States.
