TL;DR: In this paper, a dialogue between Islamic and democratic normative political theories is established, and it is shown that the conception of democracy underlying a prominent Islamic political model is procedural, and that bringing together Islamic political theory and democracy alters the meaning of the latter.
Abstract: We seek to establish a dialogue between Islamic and democratic normative political theories. To that aim, we show that the conception of democracy underlying a prominent Islamic political model is procedural. We distinguish proceduralism from a liberal conception of democracy. We explain how bringing together Islamic political theory and democracy alters the meaning of the latter. In other words, we show that democracy within Islam often means democracy within Islamic limits.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of "racial narratives" in explaining historical changes in African-American political behavior over time is discussed, using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, which helps to explain patterns in American political behavior throughout American history.
Abstract: My dissertation seeks to advance the racial politics and political behavior literatures in American politics by focusing on the role of “racial narratives” in explaining historical changes in African-American political behavior over time. I accomplish this by generating a narrative approach to political behavior, drawing from political theorizing on collective identity formation and social constructivism in facilitating political action. Using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, my narrative approach to political behavior helps to explain patterns in African-American political behavior throughout American history. Four “racial narratives” are articulated and defended: a “white supremacist” narrative, an “egalitarian-transformative” narrative, a “nationalistsolidarist” narrative and finally an “anti-transformative” narrative. Each of these narratives are developed in particular periods of American history by white and AfricanAmerican elites, and they do affect African-American political behavior in predictable ways given the arguments, ideas and concepts that comprise each narrative. The dissertation concludes by engaging with a narrative model of political behavior and proposing future research using this model, particularly in regards to the “intersectionality” of various social identities (class, gender, and sexual-orientation), and the degree to which an emphasis on “racial narratives” can contribute to theoretical and empirical understandings in the fields of American racial politics and American Political Development.

TL;DR: The authors compared the new version of the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics with its 1996 version in an effort to determine how journalists who embrace the ethos of a profession have responded to these challenges, as reflected in the standards and practices outlined in their code.
Abstract: The field of journalism has experienced recent upheavals caused in part by shifts in technology, economic challenges, and questions about the concept of truth telling. This study compares the new version of the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics with its 1996 version in an effort to determine how journalists who embrace the ethos of a profession have responded to these challenges, as reflected in the standards and practices outlined in their code. A framework for systematically reading codes is offered. The changes are examined in light of relevant moral theories.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical understanding of change in governance of natural scientific research in the UK is presented, focusing on the years of the New Labour Governments, 1997 to 2010, and two case studies are chosen to explore the issues: research using human tissue and research using embryos.
Abstract: This thesis contributes to a theoretical understanding of change in governance of natural scientific research in the UK. The time period studied in detail is the years of the New Labour Governments, 1997 to 2010. Two case studies were chosen to explore the issues: research using human tissue and research using human embryos. Investigation was guided by these two questions: To what extent and in what way do governance regimes incorporate proposals and approaches developed by social scientists, Science and Technology Studies and Sociology of Scientific Knowledge theorists in particular, and taken up by a range of actors in response to the perceived failures of older regimes? What are the impacts of contemporary governance regimes on natural scientific research? A reflexive theme and approach runs through the thesis. Aspects of SSK and social science theory are drawn upon, as a means to explore governance and as a means to critically explore social science itself. Beyond SSK, a novel reading and combination of Erving Goffman and (more critically) John Rawls is used to interrogate the many dimensions of the performative work of natural and social scientists who were drawn into public engagement and deliberative exercises. The thesis finds that in some areas there has been significant change to the ways in which governance is organised and conducted, and that STS and SSK themes and approaches have contributed to this. The thesis outlines what has been lost: professional discretion; clarity about social science analysis and goals; and clarity about issues of public interest and issues associated with scientific research and knowledge. A typical outcome is greater complexity and greater bureaucrats' and managers' influence. That campaigners and STS / SSK theorists did not aim for this is largely true. That they have some responsibility for the outcome is also true.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore an important concept in the work of the later Rawls, the idea of the reasonable, and conclude that this concept helps to bridge the gap between liberal theory and democratic practice.
Abstract: This paper aims to explore an important concept in the work of the later Rawls: the idea of the reasonable. While the concept has its roots in both Aristotle and Kant, Rawls develops a unique account of the reasonable in the light of his theory of political liberalism. The paper includes Rawlsian responses to the practical challenges of radical democrats on the one hand, and epistemological challenges to the reasonable on the other. It concludes that Rawls’s account of the reasonable helps to bridge the gap between liberal theory and democratic practice.

TL;DR: The notion of deliberative democracy was coined by Bessette, who explicitly coined it to oppose the elitist or "aristocratic" interpretation of the American Constitution.
Abstract: roposed as a reformist and sometimes even as a radical political ideal,deliberative democracy begins with the critique of the standard practices ofliberal democracy. Although the idea can be traced to Dewey and Arendt andthen further back to Rousseau and even Aristotle, in its recent incarnation theterm stems from Joseph Bessette, who explicitly coined it to oppose the elitist or‘‘aristocratic’’ interpretation of the American Constitution.

TL;DR: This article propose an anaysis of gender that is broad enough to house the full range of feminist concerns, those central to the old socialist-feminism as well as identity-based conceptions.
Abstract: In the course of the last 30 years, feminist theories of gender have shifted from quasi-Marxist, labor-centered conceptions to putatively ‘post-Marxist’ culture-and identity-based conceptions. Reflecting a broader political move from redistribution to recognition, this shift has been double edged. On the one hand, it has broadened feminist politics to encompass legitimate issues of representation, identity and difference. Yet, in the context of an ascendant neoliberalism, feminist struggles for recognition may be serving less to enrich struggles for redistribution than to displace the latter. Thus, instead of arriving at a broader, richer paradigm that could encompass both redistribution and recognition, feminists appear to have traded one truncated paradigm for another – a truncated economism for a truncated culturalism. This article aims to resist that trend. I propose an anaysis of gender that is broad enough to house the full range of feminist concerns, those central to the old socialist-feminism as w...
