What They Saw in America
Grounded in the stories of their actual visits, What They Saw in America takes the reader through the journeys of four distinguished, yet very different foreign visitors - Alexis de Tocqueville, Max Weber, G. K. Chesterton and Sayyid Qutb - who traveled to the United States between 1830 and 1950. The comparative insights of these important outside observers (from both European and Middle Eastern countries) encourage sober reflection on a number o…
Illness or Deviance? Drug Courts, Drug Treatment, and the Ambiguity of Addiction
A Blind Lady is Singing
A Blind Lady is Singing James Nolan in front of Walgreens on Royal in the rain, face screwed up into a pale wrinkled sun "Those were the days, my friends"—O the actors and theaters, the poets and readings, the painters and galleries—"we thought they'd never end, we'd live . . ." The Quarter is shut down, Canal St. an ashen ghost town. Hail the conquering heroes from Halliburton and FEMA triumphant in a tourist buggy. Copyright © 2006 Charles H. R…
The Great Divide
Reinventing Justice
Therapeutic adjudication
Reinventing Justice
Drug courts offer radically new ways to deal with the legal and social problems presented by repeat drug offenders, often dismissing criminal charges as an incentive for participation in therapeutic programs. Since the first drug court opened in 1989 in Florida, close to 600 have been established throughout the United States. Although some observers have questioned their efficacy, no one until now has constructed an overall picture of the drug co…
The Waning of the Welfare State
The state in postwar Western Europe has been extended and intensified in a spectacular manner. Today, welfare represents a complex mix of services covering health, education, welfare, the arts, leisure, and social security. Anton C. Zijderveld is of the opinion that Europe's vast, comprehensive state is becoming leaner and meaner, heading down a more sober path toward decentralization and deregulation, which only, but not merely, secures order fo…
The Therapeutic Corporation
A growing number of contemporary organizations have management structures that are less centralized and hierarchical than the traditional bureaucratic model. This book takes a close look inside one such organization: an employee-owned manufacturing corporation. It addresses the question of how conflicts are handled when bureaucracy is greatly reduced-and its findings will surprise and enlighten many readers. Therapy, a behaviour or practice norma…
Preserving the Postmodern, Restoring the Past
This article is based on a comparison of the preservation philosophies in place at two historical Virginia homes: Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and James Madison's Montpelier. Interviews and analysis suggest that the curators at the former site are guided by an empirical historicism that is decidedly modernist, while their counterparts at the latter, influenced by contemporary trends in social science and philosophy, are more skeptical about the …
The Rise of Selfishness in America
Search for the American Right Wing
E. Dupreel on Population and Progress
Noting that the causes for declines in birth rates among developed countries are now well established the author discusses the consequences of these declines. The author argues that the conclusion of many current thinkers that an increase in the number of people is 1 of the prime causes of social development civilization and progress--indeed the original and universal cause--is not a new idea but may be found in diverse works from the previous ce…
