The curriculum follows the same procedures and focuses on the context of B&H citizens. Project citizen Project citizen is the practical part of the Civitas program, and it is implemented at primary school and high school level.

In an edited version of that lecture, she examines how the Judeo-Christian tradition has provided the moral foundations of America and other nations in the West and contrasts their experience with that of the former Soviet Union. The Moral Foundations of the American Founding History has taught us that freedom cannot long survive unless it is based on moral foundations. The American founding bears ample witness to this fact. America has become the most powerful nation in history, yet she uses her power not for territorial expansion but to perpetuate freedom and justice throughout the world. For over two centuries, Americans have held fast to their belief in freedom for all men - a belief that springs from their spiritual heritage. John Adams, second president of the United States, wrote in 1789, "Our Constitution was designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other." That was an astonishing thing to say, but it was true.

The Committee for the Study of Democracy provides a framework for faculty and student initiatives focused on democratization and democracy in the contemporary world. The committee’s activities help students to pursue interdisciplinary studies concerned with building and sustaining democratic institutions. The initiatives taken within the framework of the Committee for the Study of Democracy draw on several of the Graduate Faculty’s major interests. These include political and social theories about democracy, studies of international processes that shape politics within many countries, and analyses of regions in which problems of democracy are central for contemporary politics. The latter areas include not only Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America, but also the United States and parts of Europe where democratic institutions have been in place for some time. We deal with both empirical and normative problems: foundations of democracy, democratization, constitutional and political design, conflicts among democratic practices, multiple forms of diversity, problems of citizenship, and modes of democratic political action.

35. Democracy Is About Communication This new decency jive outlaws portions of the Holy Bible. People need to understandthat this is not about sex, it s about the foundations of democracy. http://www.well.com/user/hlr/texts/democracy.html

Prev Next Index Democracy is About Communication By Howard Rheingold Every desktop computer connected to the Internet is a printing press, broadcasting station, place of assembly, with world wide reach. Every node on the network has the power to broadcast words, sounds, images, software, to every other node: Many to many communications. This unexpected technological leverage for ordinary citizens is threatening to those whose power and fortunes depend on the mass media, where a very small number of individuals have the power to control what large numbers of people can see and hear, read and write, witness and debate. This new power for individuals to report what they observe and argue about those reports also threatens those whose power and fortunes depend on forcing a narrow agenda on others, zealots who believe they are in the possession of such ultimate moral certainty that they have the right to impose their ideas on others. The threat of uncontrollable communications among citizens, not the pornographic pictures or taboo words that a tiny portion of the online population publish, is why freedom of expression is under attack. "Decency" is a smokescreen. It's about power.

(ÍÁÔà ÒÉÁÌÙ çÒÕÐÐÙ "ðÒÁ×ÏÚÁÝÉÔÎÁÑ Óà ÔØ") RESOLUTION OF THE ALL-RUSSIAN EMERGENCY CONGRESS FOR HUMAN RITGHTS ON THE THREAT TO DEMOCRATIC FOUNDATIONS OF THE CONSITUTIONAL SYSTEM IN RUSSIA The Congress opposes the draft federal law "On the Constitutional Assembly" submitted by the State Duma members B.B.Nadezhdin, A.I.Lukyanov, and others. This draft law would establish a nomenclature-based principle of Constitutional Assembly formation. According to this draft, the CA members will be nominated by the government, rather than elected. Consequently, this body will be composed of individuals who have not been authorised by the Russian public to change the Constitution. As opposed to the draft submitted by Nadezhdin and others, an alternative draft submitted by S.A.Kovalyov provides for a national election of the Constitutional Assembly. It is totally compatible with the Russian Constitution and makes it difficult to change it arbitrarily. We, the participants of the All-Russian Emergency Congress for Human Rights, insist on the inviolability of Chapters 1, 2 and 9 of the Russian Constitution which establish the foundation of the constitutional system, individual rights and freedoms, and the procedure for amending the Constitution. In the current political situation, any changes of these provisions involve a threat to the constitutional system and destruction of legal foundations of democracy, human rights and freedoms. Incidentally, other constitutional provisions (Chapters 3-8) can be changed, if required, by the Federal Assembly through adopting a relevant federal law under a special procedure.

Our intent is then to explore the connection between these two core concepts in the Western tradition of political and economic liberty and finally to examine the "exportability" of these ideas to non-Western countries and the former Soviet-type economies.

INTRANET Democracy Over the past decade, the Yemeni Government has continued to demonstrate its commitment to democracy. In 1990, following the unification, a multi-party political system was established and in 1993 an independent electoral commission was formed. National Elections Yemen held three credible national legislative elections: - April 1993, Parliamentary Election. - April 1997, Parliamentary Election. - 1999, Yemen successfully held its first direct presidential election monitoring effort ever taken in the Arab world - 2001 the first local councils elections took place and 36 women were elected. - April 2003, Parliamentary Election These elections were monitored by a number of international monitoring organizations, invited by the Yemeni government to both observe and offer technical and professional assistance in developing electoral procedures. Yemen's open door policy to international and national organizations to monitor the elections was commended by international democratic communities as well as by the U.S. government. Elections were judged as reasonably free and fair

40. Individuals And Community As Foundations For Democracy Individuals and Community foundations for democracy. a look at the writings of three political theorists. by Christy Taylor. How can we hope to maintain control over our own world? What does "power http://www.smokylake.com/Christy/concerns/community.htm

Individuals and Community: Foundations for Democracy a look at the writings of three political theorists by Christy Taylor What we have in this part of the world (Canada and the USA) are divided people. Elshtain describes them as "rights-bearing individuals" who have forgotten that they once belonged to a community. Charles Taylor goes deeper into this subject of a fractious nation and comments about how people are more mobile these days then in the past, and people entering a country no longer always assimilate. We do not always share common values and ideas of what is right or wrong, and nor do we have shared traditions and cultures. We have instead a country of divided groups. How can we keep it so that people can continue to believe that the government represents them, even when the government doesn’t always do as they want? Another thing Elshtain mentions is the need for civil society, which she says the framers of the American Constitution took for granted. "By civil society I mean the many forms of community and association that dot the landscape of a democratic culture, from families to churches to neighborhood associations to trade unions to self-help movements to volunteer assistance to the needy." (pg 6). While the constitution writers might have taken these things for granted, Wendell Berry doesn’t take them for granted. These are the things he thinks are worth working for. They are part of the human experience, and needed. Elshtain describes democracy as being "a mode of participation with one’s fellow citizens animated by a sense of responsibility for one’s society." I think Wendell Berry would agree with this definition, even if he would disagree with where democracy is carried out. Democracy to him isn’t carried out in the parliaments or courthouses. Democracy for him is carried out within every day life, where individual people are making decisions to care for one another and live in a way with which to sustain life. This is what Elshtain wants when she talks about a new democractic social covenant, but it isn’t something she can name as clearly. She wants to rewrite the rules to the game of democracy, but she can’t see the strategic plays that should then be taken in the new field. Berry can see those. He sees specific steps that he feels should be taken. He puts a very physical location to democracy. It is here and now.
