Or, to consider the definition most relevant to our purposes, Praxis is the relationship between theory and practice. In 1963, the University of Zagreb, Croatia (then, Yugoslavia) opened their first international summer school on the island of Korcula, and the main symposium was organized by a group of forward-thinking philosophers, sociologists, economists, and historians who wrote for the Zagreb review, “Praxis.” The Praxis School was essentially a Marxist Humanist philosophical movement that had its roots in both Zagreb and Belgrade. Their emphasis was on the writings of the young Marx and in opening an inquiry into the future of mankind.

INTRODUCTION In the 1960s, the United States Supreme Court entered the political thicket of voting rights cases in which plaintiffs challenged apportion­ ment and districting plans. In the 1970s, the Australian High Court heard its first districting case, and in the 1980s, the Canadian courts entered the fray. This decade has seen renewed and intensified interest in voting rights as the highest courts of all three countries have issued landmark decisions in this area. With a surprising degree of consensus, the Canadian and Australian courts have held that their respective Constitutions do not guarantee that electoral districts must be of equal size; in other words, they rejected the one person, one vote standard that has been a staple of American law for nearly 35 years.

  • As the Race for the Presidency Enters Its Final Days, This Poll Finds Democrat Barack Obama with a Nine Point Lead Over Republic
    CBS NEWS/NEW YORK TIMES POLL For release: Thursday, October 30, 2008 6:30 pm (EDT) THE CAMPAIGN: FIVE DAYS TO GO October 25-29, 2008 Barack Obama has reached key thresholds with voters when it comes to overcoming some of his perceived weaknesses: more than half say he is prepared for the job, and nearly half are confident in his ability to handle an international crisis. Most voters expect the Democratic nominee to reach across the aisle, and say he understands and cares about them. And Obama benefits from a surge in early voting and first time voters. But polarization remains: more than half of those currently supporting John McCain say they would be “scared” of an Obama presidency. And the remaining uncommitted voters resemble current McCain voters more than they do Obama supporters. As the race for the presidency enters its final days, this poll finds the Democratic ticket with an eleven point lead over the Republicans among likely voters (including those who lean toward a candidate), with just 5% undecided. CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT (Among likely voters including leaners) Obama-Biden 52% McCain-Palin 41 Undecided 5 Among likely voters excluding those who lean toward a candidate, the margin is the same. More than nine in 10 of each candidate’s voters say they have made up their minds about who to vote for. Fewer than one in ten of either candidate’s voters say they could still change their minds. IS YOUR MIND MADE UP? (Among likely voters with a candidate choice) Obama voters McCain voters Yes 93% 91% No, too soon 7 9 17% of registered voters say they have already voted (by absentee ballot or at early voting sites), and by a large margin they have voted for Barack Obama over John McCain.
