Summary/Abstract |
THIS NOVEMBER 10, at precisely 9:05 a.m., for the seventy-fifth time in the history of the Turkish Republic, the nation will grind to a halt. In Istanbul, for sixty seconds sirens will drone, ferryboat horns will blare in the Golden Horn and traffic will freeze. Throughout the country, millions of ordinary Turks will stand still and mute to mark the death anniversary of their nation's founding father. It is an impressive moment, and deservedly so. Mustafa Kemal, known to history as Kemal Ataturk ("Father of the Turks"), was an indomitable blend of soldier, diplomat, politician, intellectual and nation builder. One of the twentieth century's most remarkable leaders, he was a man of iron will and incredible vision.

Summary/Abstract |
Many academics misunderstand public life and the conditions under which policy is made. This article examines misconceptions in three major academic traditions-policy as science (e.g., 'evidence-based policy'), normative political theory, and the mini-public school of deliberative democracy-and argues that the practical implications of each of these traditions are limited by their partial, shallow and etiolated vision of politics. Three constitutive features of public life, competition, publicity and uncertainty, compromise the potential of these traditions to affect in any fundamental way the practice of politics. Dissatisfaction with real existing democracy is not the consequence of some intellectual or moral failure uniquely characteristic of the persona publica, and attempts to reform it are misdirected to the extent that they imagine a better public life modeled on academic ideals.

Summary/Abstract |
A loose confederation of conservative thinkers and politicians is developing a new strategy for reaching out to the American middle class. These reformers could save the Republican Party -- if only they could win over their fellow conservatives.

Summary/Abstract |
The irony of history is that it was Lukashenko - a fighter against nationalism and a politician who promised to restore the Soviet Union - who became, in a sense, the founding father of the modern independent Belarusian state. Even within the framework of quasi-Soviet national ideology, pro-European attitudes in Belarus keep growing.

Summary/Abstract |
President Barack Obama has thrown down the gauntlet with his call for "a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity." It's a bold move for a mainstream politician. Across the world, and particularly in rich countries that are bobbing in the wake of the global financial crisis, politicians are running scared on immigration. Cat-calls about immigrants sound especially tuneless here in the United States, where some 40 percent have at least one ancestor who arrived at Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954. Indeed, the wealth of this country has been built by risk-takers who had the courage to launch themselves into the unknown.
