TRUTH AND GOVERNANCE Religious and Secular Views
Edited by William A. Galston & Tom G. Palmer The Ethikon Series in Comparative Ethics
Considers the relationship between truth and governance in democracies, but also in non-democratic regimes. Although democracy is distinctive in requiring truth as a fundamental basis for governing, non-democratic forms of government also cannot do without truth entirely. If ministers cannot give candid advice to rulers, the government's policies are likely to proceed on false premises and therefore fail. If rulers do not speak truthfully to their people, trust will erode.

David M. Higgins New American Canon
Reverse colonisation narratives ask Western audiences to imagine what it's like to be the colonised rather than the colonisers. Here, David Higgins argues that although some reverse colonisation stories are thoughtful and provocative, reverse colonisation fantasy has also led to the prevalence of a very dangerous kind of science fictional thinking in our current political culture.
