Article Five: Repairing American Government Amid Debilitating Partisan Strife by Scot Wrighton Pdf
The nation is suffering from debilitating and polarizing partisanship. Conservative and Liberal factions want more power for themselves and seek to deprive their political opponents of power. The rancor of modern political debate reflects a growing failure of basic governance. Restoring balance, compromise and rationality to the U.S. government can be permanently achieved only by making revisions to the Constitution via a new constitutional convention (or convention of states), as provided by Article 5 of the Constitution. This book explains why a new constitutional convention is likely the only way to make lasting repairs to the government, intended to mend modern partisan divides. It also describes how the country got to this inflection point, is a practical manual for organizing and running a new constitutional convention, and offers 25 specific proposals for constitutional amendments that could repair the frayed fabric of our Republic.

Technopopulism by Christopher J. Bickerton,Carlo Invernizzi Accetti Pdf
Technocratic appeals to expertise and populist invocations of 'the people' have become mainstays of political competition in established democracies. This development is best understood as the emergence of technopopulism—a new political logic that is being superimposed on the traditional struggle between left and right. Political movements and actors—such as Italy's Five Star Movement and France's La Républiqe En Marche—combine technocratic and populist appeals in a variety of ways, as do more established parties that are adapting to the particular set of incentives and constraints implicit in this new, unmediated form of politics. In the first book-length treatment of the phenomenon of technopopulism, we combine theoretical and historical approaches, offering a systematic definition of the concept of technopopulism, while also exploring a number of salient contemporary examples. This book provides a detailed account of the emergence of this new political logic, as well as a discussion of its troubling consequences for existing democratic regimes. It ends by considering some possible remedies that go beyond the simplistic idea that in the right 'dose' populism and technocracy can counter-balance one another.
