APSA's Radical Egalitarian Task Force
Weissberg, Robert
Academic Questions, v18 n1 p30-39 Mar 2004
It remains to be seen how a task force from the American Political Science Association will contrive an equality of voice for the politically apathetic, but that goal, they say, is crucial to the continued workings of American democracy. Robert Weissberg wonders how muffling the appeals of those actively engaged in the political process will sit with the First Amendment and he suspects that the APSA's project signals the fabrication of "democratic inequality studies" as a new field of research and teaching for radical egalitarians.
