Vluchtelingen en immigratie

Vluchtelingen en immigratie

Michael Dummett eminent filosoof en scherpzinnig maatschappijcriticus pleit al vele jaren voor een eerlijke behandeling van immigranten en vluchtelingen in Europa. In dit inzichtelijke boek heeft hij voor de eerste keer al zijn gedachten over deze belangrijke kwestie gebundeld. Na een eerste verkenning van de verwarde en vaak zeer onrechtvaardige opvattingen over immigratie onderwerpt Dummett de principes en rechtvaardigingen van het desbetreffende overheidsbeleid aan een nauwkeurig onderzoek waarbij hij erop wijst dat dit beleid vaak in strijd is met de rechten van vluchtelingen zoals die in het Verdrag van Gen zijn neergelegd. Aan de hand van confronterende en vaak aangrijpende voorbeelden wijst Vluchtelingen en immigratie de weg naar een nieuwe meer menswaardige benadering van een probleem dat wij niet mogen negeren.

The Individual Vs. The Public Interest Political Ideology And National Forest Policy

The Individual Vs. The Public Interest Political Ideology And National Forest Policy

Central to the controversy surrounding U. S. natural resources policy is the conflict between environmentalists and proponents of development. Examining the evolution of the philosophies underlying that conflict Dr. Alston traces the failure to achieve a unified resources policy to the seemingly incompatible ideological positions held by resource specialists interest groups policymakers econo mists and foresters. His analysis goes beyond his case study of na ional forest policy to focus on an ancient question basic to policy making in a democratic society: How can government provide a sociopolitical framework that accomodates both individual interests and the need for unity in a collective existence? Only within this broader framework he argues is it possible to determine the proper division between private and public resource management or the proper role of government in natural resources planning. Incorporating a critical evaluation of the development of classical and neoclassical economic theory this work makes clear the need to strike a balance between a strictly individualistic and an ecological point of view. Dr. Alston illustrates the ideological conflicts that complicate resources planning and explores the possibility of a new ideology capable of accomodating and inte grating differences to meet the complex needs of society. | The Individual Vs.

George C. Wallace and the Politics of Powerlessness The Wallace Campaigns for the Presidency 1964-76

George C. Wallace and the Politics of Powerlessness The Wallace Campaigns for the Presidency 1964-76

This is the only complete study of the Wallace phenomenon. It covers all of the presidential campaigns and views wallace from a variety of vantage ints: historical context content anal-ysis of speeches and analysis of elec-tion data including voting statistics and attitudinal patterns of supporters. Poli-tics of Powerlessness examines na-tionwide support for George C. Wal-lace in the presidential campaigns of 1964 1968 1972 and 1976. A number of election and candidate preference surveys are used as sources of data on supporters. An understanding of Wal-lace's appeal is provided through an examination of themes noted through-out his speeches and an analysis of his political history from biographical sources personal interviews and newspaper accounts of the time. The picture of Wallace that emerges is one of a man who saw himself as a crusader for his supporters' interests while de-liberately heightening and intensifying their feelings of powerlessness as a means of getting votes. Carlson shows that Wallace voters were not marginal. They did not reflect a loss of status nor were they simply outside the mainstream of political life. They were very much like major party voters with the exception of their feel-ings of political powerlessness that me about by increased government . . rticipation in state politics. This work informed not only by a careful anal-ysis but by interviews with Wallace many of his followers and people active in his campaigns. The work has the additional advantage of having follow-up analyses and interviews as late as 1978. In this sense it represents not only a scholarly analysis of the Wallace phenomenon but the most up-to-date analysis as well. | George C.
