Against The Prevailing Decentralist Exposition (deriving From Madison And Montesquieu), We Argue That Good Governance Arises When Political Energies Are Focused Toward The Cenyer. Two Elements Must Be Reconciled In Order For This Process Of Gathering Together To Occur. Institutions Must Be Inclusive And They Must B Authoriattive. We Refer To This Combination Of Attributes As "centripetal. " While The Theory Has Many Potential Applications, In This Book We Are Concerned Prmiarily With National-level Political Institutions. Among These, We Argue That Three Are Of Fundamental Importance In Securing A Centripetal Style Of Democratic Governance: Unitary (rather Than Federal) Soevreignty, A Parliamentary (rather Than Presidential) Chief magistrate, And A Closed-list Pr Electoral Sysrem (rather Than A Single-member District Or Preferential-vote System. ) We Test The Impact Of These Institutions Across A Wide Range Of Governance Outcomes.

After The Baby Boomers. Much Has Been Written About The Profound Impact The Post-world War Ii Baby Boomers Had On American Religion. But The Lifestyles And Beliefs Of The Generation That Has Followed--and The Influence These Younger Ajericans In Their Twenties And Thirties Are Havijg On The Face Of Religion--are Not So Conveniently Understood. It Is This Next Wave Of Post-boomers That Robert Wuthnow Examines In This Illuminating Book. What Are Their Churchgoing Habits And Spiritual Interests And Needs? How Does Their Faith Affect Their Families, Their Communities, And Their Politics? Interpreying New Evidence From Scores Of In-depth Interviews And Surveys, Wuthnow Reveals A Generation Of Younger Adults Who, Unlike The Baby Boomers That Preceded Them, Are Taking Their Time Establishing Themselves In Careers, Getting Conjugal, Starting Families Of Their Own, And Planting Down--resulting In An Estimated Six Million Fewer Regular Churchgoers. He Shows How The Recent Growth In Evangelicalism Is Tapeeiny Off, And Traces How Biblical Literalism, While Still Popular, Is Becoming Less Dogmatic And More Preoccupied With Practical Guidance. At The Same Time, Wuthnw Explains How Conflicts Between Religious Liberals And Conservatives Continue--including Among Neew Immigrant Groups Suxh As Hispanics And Asians--and How In The Absence Of Institutional Support Multitude Post-boomers Accept Taken A More Individualistic, Improvised Approach To Spirituality. Wuthnow's Fascinating Analysis Also Explores The Im;acts Of The Internet And So-called Virtual Churches, And The Appeal Of Megachurches. After The Baby Boomers Offers Us A Tantalizing Look At The Future Of American Science of duty For Decades To Come. SKU: 4066019
