Описание: A primer on political theory from bestselling author and host of Talking Politics David Runciman.
It's time. For the last two administrations the most strident and loudest voices have driven our culture and politics. The result has been the marketing of 'divide and conquer' politics and a distortion of our Founding Values. It's time to begin the task of 'rebalancing' the Nation's priorities through political compromise and the reinvigoration of an engaged public. It's time to demand that the loudest voices sit down. It's time for Americans to stand up and demand leadership from those who hold the public trust - our political representatives.
- Return to the real Contract with America - the Constitution.
Read the Preamble and understand the co-equal importance of its objectives. - Take personal responsibility for the actions of your government. (Vote, attend a town meeting, participate in public policy decisions impacting your life.) - Demand transparency in the actions of those who you have placed in positions of the public trust - our political representatives. And be insulted by the mass media's presentation of our politics via "political theater" absent objective investigative reporting. - Refuse to be placed in a "box" - think critically - be wary of those who divide us rather than bring us together. - Applaud our rich diversity as a people - be tolerant. - Demand political compromise through the balancing process established by the Founders. - Think of your children's future - Do we want gated communities with armed guards or a society which offers hope for a secure future regardless of social class, race, religion.

Описание: The crisis that nearly brought the world`s financial house down in 2008 demonstrated clearly that the global economy cannot work where there is widespread deception, corruption and lack of accountability. Corruption and lack of accountability are also key reasons why international development assistance so often fails to deliver on its promise.

Описание:
The school-aged population of the United States has become more racially and ethnically diverse in recent decades, but its public schools have become significantly less integrated. In California, nearly half of the state's Latino youth attend intensely-segregated minority schools. Apart from shifts in law and educational policy at the federal level, this gradual resegregation is propelled in part by grassroots efforts led predominantly by white, middle-class residential communities that campaign to reorganize districts and establish ethnically separate neighborhood schools. Despite protests that such campaigns are not racially, culturally, or socioeconomically motivated, the outcomes of these efforts are often the increased isolation of Latino students in high-poverty schools with fewer resources, less experienced teachers, and fewer social networks that cross lines of racial, class, and ethnic difference. Confronting Suburban School Resegregation in California investigates the struggles in a central California school district, where a predominantly white residential community recently undertook a decade-long campaign to "secede" from an increasingly Latino-attended school district. Drawing on years of ethnographic research, Clayton A. Hurd explores the core issues at stake in resegregation campaigns as well as the resistance against them mobilized by the working-class Latino community. From the emotionally charged narratives of local students, parents, teachers, school administrators, and community activists emerges a compelling portrait of competing visions for equitable and quality education, shared control, and social and racial justice.
