In Defence of Politics
A landmark work in which one of the UK's leading political writers makes a passionate defence of the importance of political debate to modern democracy.
Essays on Citizenship
Citizenship, both the subject and the practice, should be a bridge between the vocational aims of education and education for its own sake. Not all of life is productive: there is leisure, there is culture, both of which active citizens can defend, indeed enhance. This book may, I hope, help teachers and all involved in education (governors, parents and even inspectors) gain or reinforce a sense of civic pride and mission.
Defending Politics
This collection of essays in honour of political scientist Bernard Crick, follows his celebrated book ""In Defence of Politics"" and takes up many of the themes he addressed in it, including politics and freedom, pluralism and political action, tolerance, socialist commitment and democratic freedom, the protection of individual rights, community politics, political education, and ""market order."" The topicality of this book is clear, especially as Britain and the European Community set their political agendas for the rest of the century, and as the Labour Party and Liberal Democratic Party seek to redefine their current and future political roles following the 1992 general election.
In Defence of Politics
Faced with political scandal, broken promises and the seeming impotence of governments in the face of economic globalization, cynicism about politics is rampant in the established democracies of the West. Meanwhile, the 'Arab Spring' of 2011 saw people out on the streets willing to put their lives on the line for the sake of the very political freedoms others took for granted. Against this backdrop, Bernard Crick's classic In Defence of Politics remains as important and inspiring a read as ever. First published in 1962 and regularly revised up until its final edition in 2002, this book argues passionately that politics - however messy and complex it might be and for all its seeming compromises and bitter divisions - is a vital freedom that we take for granted at our peril. It is also a freedom that must be constantly defended against the pressures of narrow ideologies, small-minded national self-interest and the short term populism of career politicians.
