James W. Ceaser, Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia, talks about "Tocqueville on the Foundations of American Democracy" at Emory University as part of the Emory Williams Lectures in the Liberal Arts series (April 3, 2013). Prof. Ceaser has written several books on American politics and political thought, including "Presidential Selection", "Liberal Democracy and Political Science", "Reconstructing America", and "Nature and History in American Political Development". He has held visiting professorships at the University of Florence, the University of Basel, Oxford University, the University of Bordeaux, and the University of Rennes.
