It's a physical thing. The hairs on the back on your arms stand up. You get goosebumps. There's a tingling in your spine. Your heart is racing. Your eyes shine and all your senses are, heightened: sights, sounds, smells are all more intense. Somebody brushes past you, skin on skin, and you feel sparks. Even the acrid rasp of tear gas at the back of your throat becomes addictive, whilst a sip of water has come from the purest mountain spring. You have...

Constitutional democracy is not just any old form of democracy. It has a peculiar logic and is premised upon some exacting criteria and principles including good laws and institutions predicated on specific fundamental core values and principles.

Prior to May 2015, the oil-rich jurisdiction of Alberta had, for over four decades, been a one-party state. During that time, the rule of the Progressive Conservatives essentially went unchallenged, with critiques of government policy falling on deaf ears and Alberta ranking behind other provinces in voter turnout. Given the province's economic reliance on oil revenues, a symbiotic relationship also developed between government and the oil industry....

El compromiso del intelectual, en el sentido del engagement sartriano, fue durante buena parte del siglo XX un lugar común, al menos hasta 1968. Desde entonces, y más aún con el nuevo contexto alumbrado tras la caída del bloque soviético en 1989 y con el auge del posmodernismo, todo compromiso de semejante índole se volvió sospechoso. Y, sin embargo, este nunca desapareció del horizonte de los intelectuales.
Esta ambiciosa obra, coral y pluridisciplinar,...
