It shows how the failures of free society had led to the mass escape from freedom and sharpened the appeal of totalitarian solutions. It calls for a radical reconstruction of the democratic faith based on a realistic understanding of human limitation and frailty

  • Has Democracy a Future

    Arthur M Schlesinger, Arthur SchlesingerARTICLEForeign Affairs1997Cited by: 3

    The twentieth century has no doubt been, as Isaiah Berlin has said, most terrible century in Western history/' But this terrible century has?or appears to be having?a happy ending. As in melo dramas of old, the maiden democracy, bound by villains to the railroad track, is rescued in the nick of time from the onrushing train. As the century draws to a close, both major villains have perished, fascism with a bang, communism with a whimper. A season…

    Open AccessArthur M SchlesingerARTICLEEthics & International Affairs1996Cited by: 1

    Building on an earlier argument that isolationism may well be America's natural state, Schlesinger explains how the apparent rejection of isolationism during the long standoff with the Soviet Union during the Cold War was nothing more than a reaction to what was perceived as a direct and urgent threat to the security of the United States. In the wake of the Cold War's end, the incompatibility between collective international action and conception…
