¿Cómo llega Cataluña a la presidencia de Quim Torra? Las elecciones son algo más que el mecanismo democrático para determinar quién gobierna un territorio. En realidad sirven para mucho más. Por ejemplo, explican cómo se construyen o destruyen los países. No en vano, los desenlaces electorales son también una expresión de la voluntad múltiple de una sociedad y de su fisonomía ideológica e identitaria. Así como de sus inquietudes, pulsiones...

In a campaign for state or local office these days, you're as likely today to hear accusations that an opponent advanced Obamacare or supported Donald Trump as you are to hear about issues affecting the state or local community. This is because American political behavior has become substantially more nationalized. American voters are far more engaged with and knowledgeable about what's happening in Washington, DC, than in similar messages whether...

Hillary Clinton is running for the presidency with a message of hope and change. But, as Doug Henwood makes clear in this concise, devastating indictment, little trust can be placed in her campaign promises. Rigorously reviewing her record, Henwood shows how Clinton's positions on key issues have always blown with the breeze of expediency, though generally around an axis of moralism and hawkishness. Without a meaningful program other than a broad...

Our Electoral System is Fundamentally Flawed, But There's a Simple and Fair Solution
At least five U.S. presidential elections have been won by the second most popular candidate. The reason was a "spoiler"-a minor candidate who takes enough votes away from the most popular candidate to tip the election to someone else. The spoiler effect is more than a glitch. It is a consequence of one of the most surprising intellectual discoveries of the twentieth...

Voter ou ne pas voter, telle est la question qu'on n'ose pas poser dans nos régimes parlementaires, o les élections sont des rituels sacrés. En défendant la légitimité de l'abstention, cet essai attaque de front la conviction selon laquelle le vote serait un devoir, et le refus de voter une dangereuse hérésie. Bien plus qu'une simple apologie de l'abstention, cet ouvrage propose ainsi une critique radicale du système électoral.
