| Summary |
Program #533 : Title: The paradox of American democracy "There is very particular logic to American democracy. Voters, special interest groups and elites participate in very precise and delicately balanced ways. The sum of their efforts is what can be called a well-functioning democracy in the American style. This is what happens when things work well. Currently, things are not working well. The delicate balance is out of kilter. Voters are alienated, lobbyists dominate and elites no longer act on a sense of the common good. Author John Judis explains the problems, its causes and its possible solutions."--Track sheet. |

Program #534 : Title: Non-governmental organizations and progress "Civil society is the mortar that holds together the bricks of democratic societies. In developing countries, they are the organizations most essential to both social progress and the monitoring of governmental performance. In these same countries, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that build civil society often partner with NGOs in developed countries. But the disparities in wealth and influence often mean that NGOs in developing countries are reduced to acting as agents of their richer partners. Ann Hudock explains the coast of this state of affairs."--Track sheet. |
