A Better Modernity Is Possible
A new and better modernity (a second modernity) is possible. It will require a deep cultural and institutional transformation. It will require a reframing of the way we think about human ideals and about the creative aspect of human nature. To support this we can expect a reorganization of intellectual disciplines, including perhaps the addition of a “new civics,” a “civic studies,” and a new science of ideals. A new modernity will require also n…
Justice, Human Dignity and Human Rights
This paper outlines a method for the exploration of ideals that incorporates the impartial attractiveness test and applies this method to sketch an ideal of justice centered on human dignity and human rights. The starting point is global public political culture. The goal is to articulate a code of justice that has the capacity to inspire, and that can be seen as embedded in the ongoing global movement for justice

Impartial Attractiveness as a Moral Test
Global Democracy and its Difficulties
Principles of Constitutional Design
Principles of Constitutional Design. By Donald S. Lutz. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2006. 278p. $80.00. This is a complex, important, original, and unusual work. It should be studied carefully (not simply read) by all those interested in constitutional studies broadly understood. This includes constitutional lawyers (especially those with an interest in comparative constitutional law, and in constitutional design), political theorists …
Institutions and the Fate of Democracy
Institutions and the Fate of Democracy: Germany and Poland in the Twentieth Century. By Michael Bernhard. Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2005. 310p. $29.95. In this book Michael Bernhard asks two questions: Why do new democracies pick the institutions that they do? How do certain patterns of institutions affect the chances of democratic survival? And his theoretical framework, in its initial formulation, makes two claims. First, inst…
Understanding Constitutionalism
Institutions and Social Order

Karol Soltan, Eric Uslaner, and Virginia Haufler bring together in this book some of the leading scholars in political science, economics, and sociology to explore the different approaches to the study of institutions and their contributions to understanding the organization of modern society. The essays collected in this volume address the m…

We suggest that the politico-economic system of communist regimes may be usefully seen as an institutionally and ideologically constrained bargaining game. We distinguish three stages of the develop ment of this "game"-pure communism, late communism, and constitutio nal communism. Pure communism is characterized by an aspiration to the total control over society, and a s…
