Mit der Analyse zweier fundamental differierender Ansätze – Tendenz zu repressiven Maßnahmen vs. Gewährung von Freiräumen – liefert seine Studie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur vergleichenden Erforschung demokratischer Streitbarkeit.
On the verge of marriage and a fresh start, Charlie Lewis can't stop thinking about the past, and the events of one particular summer. At sixteen he was failing his classes, and looking after his depressed father. If he thought about the future at all, it was with dread. Then Fran Fisher burst into his life. In order to spend time with Fran, Charlie became a different person: he joined the Company. The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet learned and performed in a theater troupe over the course of a summer. Now Charlie can't go the altar without coming to terms with his relationship with Fran, his friends, and his former self. -- adapted from jacket
