The Role of the Politician in the Democratic Regime

Author(s):  
Robert Crowcroft

This chapter presents a view of the role played by politicians within the British democratic regime in the period since 1800. It ponders some important recent trends in the writing of political history, and welcomes signs that the ‘crisis’ of political history appears to be passing. From there, the chapter discusses the nature of the system in which politicians operated, and, by extension, the way in which politicians were compelled to act. Moreover, it presents a way of thinking through the problem of political history that is somewhat at odds with the left-wing interpretations that have tended to shape the field. It concludes by expressing the hope that younger scholars will reclaim the disciplinary pre-eminence that political history once enjoyed.

the smallest obstacle to the actual impact comes from the decision making itself concerned. The obstacle that most often appears is education, the role of the inability of someone to act alone or not firmly. Often a manager talks about himself being chosen by doubts that are so master of the way of thinking and acting. A manager who is hesitant in acting will cause him to give up his decision to his subordinates who are often justified by the exercise of authority. He raised the issue of authority more so that the leadership in the hierarchy that is more resistant then made a decision. He looks for reasons in such a way that the role of making decisions shifts horizontally to other managers on a level

The first twenty years of the Federal Republic of Germany afford a particularly interesting context for the study of popular evaluation of executive figures. The importance of popular perceptions of executive political authorities has been dramatically demonstrated in contemporary German political history. The role of attitudes toward the leading executive figure in the current democratic regime has been the subject of much speculation. A well-established view suggests that the étatist and authoritarian attitudes that supported previous regimes have been very important in establishing the new one. Most important in this regard is the part played by Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic, in shaping party and electoral politics in the new regime's early years.

AbstractThe process of philosophical questioning has the power to form not only our way of thinking, but also the way we live. Both my sporting and academic career have made me think about the importance of asking good questions and undergoing the process of answering them. I decided to create a profession of philosophical consultation in sport which works with athletes and coaches of various ages. Consultants and athletes (clients) engage in a dialogue about important and interesting questions/topics in client’s life. This dialogical process is called philosophical consultation. It focuses on critical evaluation and development of client’s thinking, self-cognition, and attitudes/worldviews. Philosophical consultation helps athletes and coaches to look for their identity and achieve better self-awareness. It can be argued that consultation offers what Patočka calls the “care of the soul” (epimeleia peri tês psychês) or what Foucault calls the “care of the self” (epimeleia heautou), which are based on Socrates’ kind of philosophizing. It helps to achieve ancient ideals of kalokagathia and gnôthi seauton. The potential of using philosophy in sport hasn’t been fully discovered. Philosophical consultation is presented as a process of self-cognition and inner development. It has the potential to influence the care for well-being of athletes and coaches.I aim to explore the practical role of philosophy in sport. I will present possible connections between philosophy and sport and the historical predecessors of the concept of philosophical consultancy in sport. As well, we will discuss what philosophical consultancy is, how philosophical consultant works, and finally what are the challenges in bringing philosophical consultation into sport. Methods that are used in this interdisciplinary article are critical textual analysis, description, and interpretation of data.

Abstract The dynamism of Islamic law must have an effect on the process of social interaction. In vice versa, social status that absorbed through interaction between religion and society will have an implication to the social process. social change in society always demands changes in the law, so legal change can lead to social change. Sociologically, the society always changes. The change of a society can be influenced by the way of thinking and the value of existing in society. The more advanced the way of thinking of a society will be more open problematika that happened, The more problematic faced by society hence the settlement demand also getting harder. So it takes a serious effort in solving it. Thus the role of Islamic law in answering all issues that are increasingly growing in the social community is very urgent done. As an illustration and concrete and concrete form of the dynamic of Islamic law.  Abstrak Dinamisasi hukum Islam pastilah berpengaruh terhadap proses interaksi sosial. demikian pula sebaliknya status sosial yang terserap melalui interaksi antara agama dan masyarakat akan berimplikasi terhadap proses sosial. perubahan sosial dalam masyarakat selalu menuntut adanya perubahan hukum, demikian pula perubahan hukum dapat menimbulkan perubahan sosial. Secara sosiologis masyarakat senantiasa mengalami perubahan. Perubahan suatu masyarakat dapat dipengaruhi oleh polapikir dan tata nilai yang ada dalam masyarakat. Semakin maju cara berpikir suatu masyarakat maka akan semakin terbuka problematika yang terjadi, Semakin banyak problematika yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat maka tuntutan penyelesaiannya juga semakin berat. Sehingga membutuhkan upaya yang sungguh-sungguh dalam menyelesaikannya. Dengan demikian peranan hukum Islam dalam menjawab semua persoalan yang semakin hari semakin berkembang dalam sosial masyarakat sangatlah urgen dilakukan. Sebagai gambaran dan bentuk konkrit serta nyata dari dinamisnya hukum Islam.

A partir de los sesenta, los alumnos que comenzaron a acudir a las universidades creció exponencialmente. Esto modificó la forma de pensar esta institución en su relación con la democracia. Su razón de ser ya no se encontraba únicamente en el conocimiento, sino que se deducía del papel que debía jugar en la construcción de la ciudadanía. Esta modificación dio lugar a una serie de discusiones sobre el papel de la universidad en relación a los nuevosretos que les planteaba la ciudadanía. Y esas discusiones giraban casi siempre en torno a una misma idea: que cualquier tesis sobre la universidad suponía una traición. Y es justamente eso lo que estudia este artículo. Se concluye que, en la construcción de una ciudadanía democrática, han de combinarse dos consideraciones. La necesidad irrenunciable de la extensión de la formación universitaria como elemento sustancial de una ciudadanía y la necesidad de que esta formación esté presidida por un pensamiento crítico y una vocación de servicio político. From the 1960s, the number of students who began to attend universities grew exponentially. This changed the way of thinking about this institution in terms of its relationship with democracy. Its reason for being did not only lie in the articulation of knowledge but also in the role it should play in the construction of citizenship. This modification led to a series of discussions about the role of universities regarding the new challenges posed by citizens. And these discussions almost always revolved around the same idea: any argument about universities was a betrayal. And that is precisely what this article studies. It is concluded that, in the construction of democratic citizenships, two  considerations must be combined. On the one hand, the unrenounceable need for the extension of university education as a substantial element of citizenship and, on the other hand, the need for this type of education to bepresided over by critical thinking and a vocation for political service.

This presentation aims to explore the ubiquity of rationality in how people make choices. Historically, rationality has been conceived of as a scheme of certain values and beliefs, most often those that are compatible with a 'scientific way of thinking'. Subsequently, those who hold a different set of beliefs and  values are deemed 'irrational' or considered irreconcilably dissimilar from those who are 'rational.' What typical follows for the 'irrational' are unfavorable labels such as 'dogmatic', 'primitive', or even 'insane'. This presentation rejects these common views and offers an alternate model of rationality that depicts rationality as a template rather than a scheme of values. Rather than emphasize certain values as 'rational', this model emphasizes the role of value itself as the cornerstone of rationality. An advantage of this model is that the both the commonly considered 'rational' and 'irrational' are seen to be employing the same underlying structure in making choices; the divergence is in the values themselves and not the way of  thinking. What underlies these arguments is an aim to show that human beings are more alike than  different, no matter what kind of choices they make
