Description:

New from David MathewsIn 1863, President Abrahamdelivered his Gettysburg Address, and he spoke of an ideal of government, one that is of, by, and for the people. Do Americans today think our government is really “of” the people? That’s debatable. “By” the people? Doubtful. “For” the people? Perhaps for some, sometimes.This Cousins Research Group Report, based on a forthcoming book by David Mathews, suggests trying another preposition—government with the people.DOWNLOAD NOW An annual review of the Kettering FoundationThe 2020 issue of Connectionsfocuses on the ways people come to understand their own role in self-governance—another name for democracy.

These problems, such as poverty, violence, and gaps in educational achievement, requirecitizens, communities, andinstitutions to work together to address them.Democracy requires institutions with public legitimacy that contribute to strengthening society.While institutions can affect the public’s ability to govern itself, they can also unintentionally weaken self-rule by substituting expert knowledge for public knowledge. Aligning institutional routines with citizens’ work is the central challenge. What Matters More, Tribe or Democracy?
