Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Norman Stamps' short work should be better know as it is both concise and through. It presents the conservative arguments of classical western political thought and describes the dangers to democracy, including from communism. It appeared at a time when academic American political thought was strongly biased in favour of new 'leftist' liberal thinking and was accordingly overlooked as out of step with then current trends. It deserves to be re-considered in view of the decades of failing American ideology and the present state of American democracy.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Norman L. Stamps, Associate Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University, was graduated from the University of Kansas City in 1940 and received his Ph.D. from Yale in 1950. While studying for a Master's degree at the University of Kansas City he held a research assistantship under Professor Hans J. Morgenthau, who is now Director of the Center for the Study of American Foreign Policy at the University of Chicago. At Yale University he was awarded the Cowles and Block fellowships. He has taught at the University of Kansas City and Yale and during the last ten years has been a member of the political science faculty at Rutgers University. While studying under Professors Cecil H. Driver and Francis W. Coker at Yale University, Dr. Stamps became interested in the fundamental principles of constitutional government and the conscious and unconscious assumptions underlying democratic political systems. His research and teaching since then have been motivated by the desire to get beneath the surface characteristics of political institutions and to find the factors responsible for political behaviour. Professor Stamps is the author of numerous articles published in leading scholarly journals both in this country and abroad, including the Political Quarterly, Southwestern Social Science Quarterly, Western Political Quarterly, and the Journal of Politics. In 1943 he assisted the Statewide Committee in charge of research in preparation for the Missouri Constitutional Convention of that year.
