 Larry Diamond is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and author of The Spirit of Democracy: The Struggle to Build Free Societies Throughout the World.
Thomas Oliphant: Ted Kennedy's greatness lay in his surprisingly rigorous self-awareness. Amy Wilentz: Do we create more caring communities in the wake of natural catastrophes? Depends on what "we" you mean. The Courage of Our Contradictions William Galston: A new liberalism must reflect not only on our permanent beliefs, but also on many Americans' reservations about them. A response to E.J. Dionne, Jr. Matthew Cooper: Bill Clinton acted on principle far more often than you may think. Clay Risen: Should progressives frustrated with our democracy pine for a parliamentary system? In a word—nein. Kevin Carey: Are our colleges teaching students well? No. But here's how to make them. Peter Edelman: Conventional wisdom aside, some '60s-era inner-city programs have been a success. Now it's time for Obama to launch phase two. Federalism and Its Discontents Greg Anrig: The states are drowning. The best life-preserver that Washington can throw at them is to take over Medicaid. Shadi Hamid: Egypt is the linchpin to America's Middle East policy—a policy that must make interests reinforce ideals, rather than conflict with them. Obama Proposes Consumer Financial Protection Agency News: President Barack Obama has proposed the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency, an idea first written about in Democracy. Michael Tomasky to Become Editor of Democracy News: Michael Tomasky, a highly respected writer and editor with more than 20 years' experience covering American politics and helping to define and update progressive ideas, will join Democracy: A Journal of Ideas as its Editor. |
