In A Civil Republic, Severyn T. Bruyn argues that the United States, and the world at large, is on the verge of a radical shift - dangerous but also full of opportunity. In a world of injustice, ecological destruction, violence and instability, weapons of mass destruction, and the rise of authoritarian government, our ability to craft a secure future lies in creating a civil republic. Bruyn envisions a system of governance that merges core human values of civil society into a political economy that has reigned supreme since the end of the Cold War. He sees a world in which religious institutions, health-care systems, businesses, media, and governments could support values of honesty, justice, and public health rather than stand subservient to corporate interests and those of markets and nation-states. He explores ways to implement a new model - one of public policy that builds a civil society beyond the conventions of capitalism and nationalism. This provocative text is readily accessible to undergraduates. At the same time, it is a work of profound scholarship and wisdom. economics, political science, business, international development, and international law will be treated to an informed and encouraging vision for a sustainable future. The author's website (www2.bc.edu/[UNK]bruyn) provides a vital supplement with extensive bibliography, appendices, and guidelines for research by sociologists, economists, and political scientists.
