In this volume, historian Juan R. I. Cole explores clerical participation within Iraq's emerging democracy, including that of the Daâ'wa Party, the al-Sadr Movement, and the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution. Ideal for students and scholars of foreign affairs, Cole's thought-provoking analysis will be important reading for anyone concerned about the future of Iraq.ISIM paper ;7.DemocracyIraqPolitics and governmentDemocracy.320.9567Cole Juan R.

Stein looks at 14 historical figures who-by their words and/or deeds-set the stage for political thought before the constitution was written. All the subjects of this book deal as best they can with questions of the relationship between executive and other branches of government; all deal with the role of religion in government; all deal with how much (if any) democracy should be allowed in determining fundamental law and day-to-day governance; all engaged in the thought experiment of asking what life was like before government, and therefore why government was instituted; all deal with the relationship of central authority and provincial (states') rights; all seek to avoid tyranny. Commentary on the Constitution from Plato to Rousseau is not about what the founders took from previous thinkers and political figures; it is a book that allows the reader to consider the U.S. Constitution while learning about people whose genius has transcended time, from Plato to Rousseau.Constitution from Plato to RousseauConstitutional lawUnited StatesConstitutional lawPhilosophyConstitutional lawConstitutional lawPhilosophy.342.7302Stein Joshua B1855319MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967474203321Commentary on the constitution from Plato to Rousseau4453428UNINA
