First Chair of the American Political Science Association Standing Committee on Civic Education and Engagement (September 2002 – September 2004), principal coauthor of our collective report, Democracy at Risk: How Political Choices Undermine Citizen Participation and What We Can Do About It (Brookings Institution Press, May 2005)

Democracy at Risk reveals the dangers of civic disengagement for the future of representative democracy. Most importantly, it argues that we should not simply blame citizens. Rather, our political system itself is at fault: it dampens citizen involvement, sharpens the disparities between rich and poor citizens, and discourages attention to campaigns and important political issues. The authors document recent trends in civic engagement, show how those trends have been shaped by the design of political institutions and public policies, and recommend ways to improve the amount, quality, and distribution of civic engagement. They focus on three key areas: the electoral process, including elections and the way people get involved in campaigns; the American metropolis, including the impact of location, demographic shifts, and changing development patterns; and the critical role of nonprofit organizations and voluntary associations, including the philanthropy that helps keep them going.

This important project, undertaken with the support of the American Political Science Association, tests the proposition that scholarship provides useful insights on the state of our democratic life. Most importantly, it charts a course for reinvigorating civic participation in the world’s most powerful democracy.

The Project represents a three-year effort that brought together dozens of scholars and jurists to study universal jurisdiction and formulate The Princeton Principles on Universal Jurisdiction (Princeton University Publications, July 2001; available on line at http://www.princeton.edu/~lapa/unive_jur.pdf) as well as a collection of essays, Universal Jurisdiction: National Courts and the Prosecution of Serious Crimes Under International Law, Principles and Papers of the Princeton Project on Universal Jurisdiction, ed. Stephen Macedo (University of Pennsylvania Press, forthcoming, Spring 2003). Universal jurisdiction is based on the claim that some atrocities--like genocide, torture, and war crimes-- are so heinous and so universally abhorred that any state is entitled to prosecute in its national courts without regard to where the crime was committed or the nationality of the perpetrators or the victims. The Princeton Principles are designed to guide the responsible use of universal jurisdiction. The sponsors of the Princeton Project on Universal Jurisdiction, are Princeton University ’s Program in Law and Public Affairs, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, the International Commission of Jurists, the American Association for the International Commission of Jurists, the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights, and The Urban Morgan Institute for Human Rights. The Princeton Principles have been translated into five languages and disseminated by the United Nations.
