The Radical Right
The Rights of Noncitizens: Introduction
Democratic Polities and Anti-democratic Politics
What if anything should democratic polities do with respect to political forces and citizens who oppose democratic practices? One strategy is toleration, understood as non-interference. A second approach is repression, aimed at marginalizing or breaking up non-democratic political forces. I argue for a third approach: democratic states and citizens should respond to non-democratic political forces and ideas mainly through efforts at political inc…
Democracy and Groups
AjLow can relations among groups be arranged in ways that are compatible with sustaining democracy? In this article I consider three ways that groups can order their relations within a democratic framework national separation, liberal nationalism, and civic liberalism. I assess these choices both with respect to democratic criteria and in terms of the conditions in which they might be more or less appropriate. The first part of the article explai…

Self-Rule: A Cultural History of American Democracy
Something important occurred in early 19th century America that came to be called democracy. Since then hundreds of millions of people worldwide have operated on the assumption that democracy exists. Yet definitions of democracy are surprisingly vague and remarkably few reckon with its history. In this work, Robert Wiebe suggests that only in appreciating that history can we recognize how breathtaking democracy's arrival was, how extraordinary it…
Passions and Constraint: On the Theory of Liberal Democracy. Stephen Holmes
Representation is Democracy
During the Cold War, arguments about representation were a significant part of international debates about democracy. Proponents of minimal democracy dominated these arguments, and their thin notions of representation became political common sense. I propose a view of representation that differs from the main views advocated during the Cold War. Representation has a central positive role in democratic politics: I gain political representation whe…
Building a Democratic Political Order: Reshaping American Liberalism in the 1930s and 1940s
This 1996 book analyses the dramatic changes in American politics that occurred during the 1930s and 1940s - including the break-up of national Republican power, the growth of the federal government, the emergence of a new labour movement, American entry into World War II, the Cold War and domestic anti-Communism, and the opening of national political debate about civil rights. The central dynamic of this era was the creation and maintenance of a…
Party Reform as Failed Democratic Renewal in the United States, 1968–1972
Between 1968 and 1972, with political conflict in America unusually high, major changes were made in rules for consituting Democratic national conventions and selecting Democratic candidates. Basic issues about the practical meaning of democratic commitments were sharply contested, and debates about party organization proved vigorous and substantial. The reforms enacted aimed partly to enhance participation and restore public respect for politica…
The Endurance of New Deal Liberalism
The increase in writing by political historians and political scientists about the United States in the 1940s registers concerns about origins – after some major endings, notably of Democratic political predominance and the Cold War. That decade also saw the beginning of serious national efforts at reform in racial politics
What’s So New About New Social Movements?
In the last three decades important new social movements have emerged in the United States and elsewhere. Though levels of mobilization are now modest, there is good reason to think that movements and interest groups now on the scene may gain force at future points. And there is also good reason to expect further movements as yet unnamed to appear. Yet these forces only partly resemble what is analyzed and advocated in recent theories of new soci…

The Wagner Act, Again: Politics and Labor, 1935–37
Why write about the Wagner Act again? There is no shortage of commentary, yet disagreement persists on basic questions: Why did the measure pass? Did the Wagner Act make any difference. If so, how? Here I argue that the Wagner Act was passed by Progressive liberals inside and outside the government, in alliance with a mass labor movement. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) played a major positive role in the emergence of new industrial union…
