Book Description
Excerpt from Problems in Political Evolution Never before, perhaps, has there been so keen and widespread an interest in questions of governmental organization and function as exists at present. The extension of political authority to all classes within the state furnishes a means of adding legal effect to public opinion and gives importance to the political views of the masses. The complex social and economic life of to-day offers an enormous field for the extension of state activities in ways that fundamentally affect the interests of every citizen. Political forms and methods, considered ideal and permanent a half century ago, are breaking down under the strain caused by the rapidly changing conditions of modern life; and states show little hesitation in making important and far-reaching reforms in their efforts to secure better adjustment. Moreover, modern states are seriously and honestly trying to apply scientific methods in their attempted reforms. Statistical materials, records of past politics, and data gathered from the four corners of the earth are at the disposal of modern lawmakers and administrators. At the same time, the nature of political problems is often imperfectly understood. Devices of government or methods of regulation that have worked well in one place or at one time are applied in others with the expectation of equally good results, regardless of the fact that different conditions may nullify their expected benefits and produce entirely unlooked-for consequences. The assurance with which politicians refer to the fate of the Roman Empire as an example of what will happen to the United States if it retains its colonial possessions, and the light-hearted and haphazard manner in which lawmaking bodies enact sweeping legislation with no apparent realization of its direct or indirect results, suggest the desirability of a more accurate knowledge of the laws of political causation and of the complex nature of political evolution.

Book Description
Excerpt from Problems in Political Evolution This volume aims to settle no controverted questions. Its prov ince is to state problems, not to solve them. Its purpose is to show the relativity of political methods and the multiplicity Of forces in volved in each phase of political evolution and at the same time to indicate the essential unity and continuous development Of the state and the consequent interrelation among all the aspects of political existence. Such a study necessitates numerous broad gen eralizations, few of which are entirely above criticism. The very intricacy of the process under consideration places limitations upon almost every statement that may be made. In a general way, how ever, an attempt is here made to trace the evolution of certain phases of the state, to point out some of the problems that have arisen because of the nature of political organization, to indicate the methods that men at various times and places have employed in their attempted solutions, and to bring out the permanence Of these problems, the impossibility of their final settlement, the need for constant compromise and adjustment, and the danger of rash experiments and extremes.

Making Politics Work for Development
Author: World BankPublisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464807744
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Governments fail to provide the public goods needed for development when its leaders knowingly and deliberately ignore sound technical advice or are unable to follow it, despite the best of intentions, because of political constraints. This report focuses on two forces—citizen engagement and transparency—that hold the key to solving government failures by shaping how political markets function. Citizens are not only queueing at voting booths, but are also taking to the streets and using diverse media to pressure, sanction and select the leaders who wield power within government, including by entering as contenders for leadership. This political engagement can function in highly nuanced ways within the same formal institutional context and across the political spectrum, from autocracies to democracies. Unhealthy political engagement, when leaders are selected and sanctioned on the basis of their provision of private benefits rather than public goods, gives rise to government failures. The solutions to these failures lie in fostering healthy political engagement within any institutional context, and not in circumventing or suppressing it. Transparency, which is citizen access to publicly available information about the actions of those in government, and the consequences of these actions, can play a crucial role by nourishing political engagement.

The Evolution of Political Knowledge
Author: American Political Science Association. Annual MeetingPublisher: Ohio State University Press
ISBN: 0814209343
Category : Political science
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
Over the course of the last century, political scientists have been moved by two principal purposes. First, they have sought to understand and explain political phenomena in a way that is both theoretically and empirically grounded. Second, they have analyzed matters of enduring public interest, whether in terms of public policy and political action, fidelity between principle and practice in the organization and conduct of government, or the conditions of freedom, whether of citizens or of states. Many of the central advances made in the field have been prompted by a desire to improve both the quality and our understanding of political life. Nowhere is this tendency more apparent than in research on comparative politics and international relations, fields in which concerns for the public interest have stimulated various important insights. This volume systematically analyzes the major developments within the fields of comparative politics and international relations over the past three decades. Each chapter is composed of a core paper that addresses the major puzzles, conversations, and debates that have attended major areas of concern and inquiry within the discipline. These papers examine and evaluate the intellectual evolution and natural history of major areas of political inquiry and chart particularly promising trajectories, puzzles, and concerns for future work. Each core paper is accompanied by a set of shorter commentaries that engage the issues it takes up, thus contributing to an ongoing and lively dialogue among key figures in the field.
