    Die Menschen in den Vereinigen Staaten besitzen und bewahren ein sich weit erstreckendes System von Nationalparks, mit Meeresküsten, Wanderwegen, Denkmälern, und Schlachtfeldern. Alle amerikanischen Bürger sind sozusagen Verwalter von Orten, wo Geschichte geschrieben wurde, wo sich Berge erheben, und wo Flüsse fließen. Sie erhalten diese Parks für die Zukunft, und sie schätzen sie heute. Wie Präsident Franklin Delano Roosevelt sagte: „Es gibt nichts Amerikanischeres als unsere Nationalparks. Die Landschaft und die Tierwelt sind einheimisch. Die Idee hinter den Parks ist einheimisch. Diese ist, kurz gesagt, dass das Land den Menschen gehört.“ Diese Ausgabe von eJournalUSA präsentiert die herrlichen Ansichten der Nationalparks, die Geschichte dieses ausgedehnten Systems, und seine Aufgabe von Bewahrung und öffentlichem Zugang.

  • Markets and DemocracyMarkets and Democracy, Electronic Journal, U.S. Department of State, Juni 2008
    Die Verbindung zwischen Märkten und Demokratie war nie eine geradlinige. Seit dem 18. Jhdt. diskutieren Denker dieses komplexe Verhältnis. Ist ein freier Markt ohne Demokratie möglich? Was entwickelt sich als erstes? Kann der Anreiz von Wirtschaftswachstum in nicht-demokratischen Ländern zu mehr Demokratie führen?
    Die 12 internationalen Fachleute, die wir für diese Ausgabe gewinnen konnten, behandeln verschiedene Aspekte dieses Rätsels und bieten ihre Antworten auf diese Fragen an. Unser Ziel ist jedoch nicht, eine jahrhundertealte intellektuelle Debatte zu lösen, sondern das Verständnis unserer Leser für die Facetten eines Themas zu vergrößern, das zweifellos für jeden auf der Welt heutzutage wichtig ist.

    Heute kommen wir zusammen, um jene zu ehren, die alles gegeben haben, um unsere Art zu leben zu sichern. Die Frauen und Männer, die wir hier ehren, dienten der Freiheit. Sie brachten Opfer für die Freiheit. Und in zahllosen mutigen Taten starben sie für die Freiheit. Aus fernen Ländern wurden sie an Friedhöfe wie diesen zurückgebracht, wo gebrochene Herzen ihre gebrochenen Körper empfingen. Sie fanden unter weißen Grabsteinen in dem Land Frieden, für dessen Verteidigung sie kämpften.
