Earthborn Democracy

A Political Theory of Entangled Life

By: Ali Aslam,David W. McIvor,Joel Alden Schlosser

Ecological crises threaten all forms of life on earth. Democracy too is endangered, as popular discontent, elite malfeasance, and unresponsive institutions imperil its survival. Present political concepts have proven inadequate to meeting these challenges, and their inadequacies are themselves symptoms of the failures of prevailing political, cultural, and ecological stories and practices. This book offers a new vision of ecological and participatory democratic life for a time of crisis. Identifying myth and ritual as key resources for contemporary politics, Earthborn Democracy excavates practices and narratives that illustrate the interdependence necessary to inspire ecological renewal. It tells stories of multispecies agency and egalitarian political organization across history, from ancient Mesopotamia and the precolonial Americas to contemporary social movements, emphasizing Indigenous traditions and resistance. Resonating across these practices and stories past and present is a belief that we are all—human as well as nonhuman—earthborn, and this can serve as the basis for reimagining democracy. Allying visionary political theory with environmental activism, Earthborn Democracy provides a foundation and a guide for collective action in pursuit of earthly flourishing.

Freshwater Biodiversity

Status, Threats and Conservation

By: David Dudgeon

Growing human populations and higher demands for water impose increasing impacts and stresses upon freshwater biodiversity. Their combined effects have made these animals more endangered than their terrestrial and marine counterparts. Overuse and contamination of water, overexploitation and overfishing, introduction of alien species, and alteration of natural flow regimes have led to a 'great thinning' and declines in abundance of freshwater animals, a 'great shrinking' in body size with reductions in large species, and a 'great mixing' whereby the spread of introduced species has tended to homogenize previously dissimilar communities in different parts of the world. Climate change and warming temperatures will alter global water availability, and exacerbate the other threat factors. What conservation action is needed to halt or reverse these trends, and preserve freshwater biodiversity in a rapidly changing world? This book offers the tools and approaches that can be deployed to help conserve freshwater biodiversity.

Democratizing Deliberation

A Political Theory Anthology

By: Derek Wai Ming Barker,Noëlle McAfee,David Wallace McIvor

Democratizing Deliberation brings together recent and cutting-edge political theory scholarship on deliberative democracy. Edited by Kettering Foundation program officer Derek Barker, Noelle McAfee, associate professor of philosophy at Emory University and associate editor of the Kettering Review, and Kettering Foundation research associate David McIvor, the collection reframes deliberative democracy to be sensitive to the deep conflicts, multiple forms of communication, and aspirations for civic agency that characterize real public deliberation. In so doing, the book addresses many of the most common challenges to the theory and practice of deliberative democracy. Democratizing Deliberation includes a foreword by David Mathews, president of the Kettering Foundation, and the following essays: "Introduction: Democratizing Deliberation," Derek W.M. Barker, Noelle McAfee, and David W. McIvor "Three Models of Democratic Deliberation," Noelle McAfee "Rhetoric and Public Reasoning: An Aristotelian Understanding of Political Deliberation," Bernard Yack "Difference Democracy: The Consciousness-Raising Group Against the Gentlemen's Club," John S. Dryzek "Everyday Talk in the Deliberative System," Jane Mansbridge "De-centering Deliberative Democracy," Iris Marion Young "Sustaining Public Engagement: Embedded Deliberation in Local Communities," Elena Fagotto and Archon Fung "Constructive Politics as Public Work: Organizing the Literature," Harry C. Boyte
