Davis' passion for politics has rubbed off on a few of his charges. Among the most notable of his former pupils is Ari Fleischer, George W. Bush's first White House spokesman. "Ari took at least one seminar on the presidency," Davis remembers. "I would say he wasn't noticeably conservative, and what I remember about Ari is, he was very, very interested in politics from the get-go. It was no surprise at all that he went right into political work after he graduated. From a 200-year-old stone chapel in Middlebury we were discussing the world's electoral systems and what was making the politics and the political systems of the world work or not work, and using real-life examples," [Andrew Savage] remembers. "Often when you're studying liberal arts, it is largelysa theoretical discussion."...
VIENNA, September 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Against the backdrop of international crises and global financial disasters the German sociologist and wealth researcher Prof. Thomas Druyen has developed a new concept of responsibility. For many years he has researched the circumstances of the world's 12 million millionaires and 1,300 billionaires at the Institute for Sciences of Ethical Wealth and Wealth Psychology at the Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, the only institute of its kind in Europe. The monetary wealth belonging to the rich and super-rich amounts to almost half the volume of annual global trade. Given the scale of this wealth, this group has an existential responsibility for shaping the future of us all. While politicians and international bodies haphazardly and egotistically...

AMERICANS sometimes imagine, and we are wrong to do so, that our democracy as we know it right now is the perfectsystem, the shining light for the world, in need of no tinkering. Decent as it is, and far better than many other political systems around the world, our way of voting is in fact at all times a work in progress. Take a digital image of our electoral process right now and compare it with an Instamatic snapshot from, say, 1959, and you would find a world of difference in the two styles of democracy.
he quoted words above were the first ones spoken to me upon entering North Korea for a five-day tour that would often feel surreal. A writer once noted that going to North Korea was like a "visit to another planet," and that seems a very accurate description of what it's like to peek behind the dark curtain surrounding the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Unlike most people, I had long wanted to visit North Korea. I teach university courses on comparative political systems, a subject that includes a country featuring a dynastic one-party communist dictatorship closed off from the rest of the world. Getting there was a little more problematic but not impossible. Unlike Cuba, the U.S government does not bar American citizens from visiting, but maneuvering around the restrictions imp...

In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "Sooner or later all the peoples of the world, without regard to the political systems under which they live, will have to discover a way to live together in peace. That was the passage read aloud at the Tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. held at the home of Keyvan Guela, a member of the Bahai Faith and resident of Claremont.
Complexity theory is founded on post-positivist thinking. However, aspects of complexity theory are found in the writings of Liberal political philosophers such as John Locke and Immanuel Kant. This paper focuses on one aspect of Liberal political philosophy: how liberal social-political orders emerge from the interactions of individuals. The author argues that while complexity theory and Liberal political philosophy are compatible concerning emergent orders, they differ on scientific method and foundational norms. This is this important because Liberal political philosophy is a significant part of the foundation of the United States political order and impacts how public administrators implement public policies.

According to Muslim Sister Zaynab al-Ghazali, General Guide al-Hudaybi initially sanctioned Qutb's most radical work, Ma'dlim fi'l-tariq Signposts on the road; he is reported to have said that it vindicated all the hopes he had placed in Sayyid.

Free markets, in theory, are supposed to be self-correcting. When they're knocked off balance, changes in prices should gradually bring the system back to equilibrium. The same process of regeneration is supposed to operate with democratic political systems, too. What we have been experiencing lately -- in dizzying falls in financial markets, and the failure of political institutions to solve problems -- is disorienting. But it's a reminder that in the real world, systems that are knocked off balance do not automatically return to the center point.
