I want to welcome new students and new readers alike to Princeton Progressive Nation - Princeton University's premier publication devoted exclusively to showcasing the best in liberal, progressive, and moderate writing and thought. If we have done our jobs properly, this issue will make you think about important issues affecting Princeton, the United States, and the world.
Like most intellectual endeavors, this issue is a product of the time during which it was created. The articles pressed onto its pages look both backward at what has already happened and forward in order to open up possibilities for what is still to be. Between the covers, Danilo Mandic '07 and Sarah Dajani '09 criticize popular views of the conflict between Israel, the Palestinians, and Lebanon through the lens of the recent military operations by Israel into Lebanon. Cindy Hong '09 recalls the days of summer while Dustin Urban '09 examines the War on Terror and wonders how we can bring about peace.
The month of October is only one month away from Midterm elections. It is not surprising, then, that this issue's cover and several of the articles in it are devoted to domestic politics. In the cover story, Jonah Perlin '07 examines the impact of political blogs like DailyKos on electoral politics. Bryan Cockrell '08 examines a controversy brewing in the Democratic Party over the proper approach to elections while Mike Noveck '08 looks at the (lack of) fallout resulting from Sen. Joseph Lieberman's loss in the Connecticut Democratic Primary.
If you like what you see, consider working for us. Here is some information which will, hopefully, persuade you:
Our issues are distributed to the rooms of every undergraduate on campus in addition to academic departments and public spaces. An independent journal, PPN pursues and reports hotly-debated political issues and provides a forum for Princeton students to react. Recent articles have addressed a wide variety of issues including: the Iran nuclear situation, Christianity and Liberalism, and the wiretapping controversy.
