Political Theory: An Introduction
How do we take a lively interest in what governments do?
The ways are:
(i)We form associations and organize campaigns to articulate our demands.
(ii)We negotiate with others and try to shape the goals that governments pursue.
(iii)When we disagree with the policies of the government, we protest and organize demonstration to persuade our governments to change the existing laws.
(iv)We passionately debate the actions of our representatives and discuss whether corruption has increased or decreased.
(v)We ask whether corruption can be rooted out; whether reservations for specific groups are just or not. We try to understand why some parties and leaders win elections.
(vi)In this way we look for the rationale underlying the prevalent chaos and decay, and aspire to create a better world.
