Foucault's analysis, I contend, can be considered in terms of a strategic model which focuses not so much on the question of right, but rather on the mechanisms through which power effects are produced.2 Instead of fixing the legitimacy of science or asking what is the proper domain of a certain knowledge, Foucault examines the role of certain knowledges in the production of effects of power. Science, allied with state bureaucratization, disempowers the public's opinion formation and uncouples political decision from the public sphere of the lifeworld; democratic decision-making loses its function, and state technocrats take over the role in the decision-making of social and political issues. In Knowledge and Human Interests, Habermas differentiates three distinct forms of knowledge, ...
The assumptions and beliefs underlying the leaders-managers models reveal "masculine" conceptions of aggressive use of power, decisiveness, and rationality of purpose. Alternative models attempt to define leadership as a holistic product of socially-defined settings, common aims, discursive meanings, and individual perceptions, beliefs, and values. Incorporating many concepts from feminist theory, these models provide alternative approaches to understanding complex dimensions of leadership. Historically a feminist leadership model characterized the establishment of focal programs in the 19th century American history, such as in civil and human rights movements, urban settlement houses, refugee settlements, suffrage movements, preserving historical and cultural landmarks, and protecting ...

In the present paper, I focus on the establishment of constitutional democracies, the problem of political legitimacy within the context of moral conflict, the operational principles of modern democracy, the legitimacy of deliberative democracy, the institutional forms of democracy, and the democratization of established power structures. The argument of this paper has several parts, and I expect a few of the claims I make to be controversial. The paper aims to analyze and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of transnational governance, the moral value of democratic procedures, key dangers in liberal-democratic politics, Cicero's rhetorical and political strategy, and the rationalistic interpretation of the democratic procedure.
WASHINGTON - As the Afghanistan War intensifies - Marja, soon Kandahar, and the steady arrival of 30,000 new American troops - it has come to be seen as Obama's war. Not so. It's become America's war.
The Palestinians need recognition of the role of Israel and its pre-state Zionist groups in generating their exile and refugeehood in 1947-48; resolution of this problem through implementing international law and U.N. resolutions on refugee compensation, restitution, return, resettlement and other options, in a negotiated manner acceptable to and respecting the bottom line needs of both sides; and, ending the occupation of 1967 and the creation of a viable and truly sovereign Palestinian state. [...] any plan proposed by the United States and the international community that hopes to have a chance of success must be anchored firmly in the dictates of international law and legitimacy, not in the current power balance or the domestic political pressures of Israel or an Israeli-manipulate...
Power is a fundamental concept in the social sciences and lies at the core of the practice of international politics. Despite its significance, power has been absent from the scholarly debate in International Relations for quite some time. The growing world-wide influence of the "normative power Europe " in conjunction with the inability of the U.S. to translate its material strength into desired political outcomes have put into question any conception of power based entirely on quantifiable material resources. More than anything else, the "paradox of American power" has raised profound questions about the nature of power in contemporary global politics. An enhanced understanding of power in the contemporary international and world society requires one to focus on the social aspects of ...

Fourteen years ago, in C & A Carbone, Inc. v. Town of Clarkstown, the U.S. Supreme Court held that a local government had unconstitutionally discriminated against interstate commerce when it forced its citizens to purchase all waste-transfer services from a single local private supplier. In a recent decision, United Haulers Ass'n v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority, the Court refused to extend the principle of Carbone to a law that required citizens to purchase these same services from a local government-operated facility. The Court thereby engrafted on the dormant Commerce Clause a new state-self-promotion exception, which receives its first extended treatment in this Article. I begin by identifying the many contexts in which this exception may take hold, touching in th...
