anniversary of his birth, May 27, 2009)
> > Today, Chuck Tilly would have turned 80 years old. On this occasion,
> the Social Science Research Council republishes his essay "Grudging
> Consent" from 2007, with special thanks to The American Interest for
> the permission. This essay is particularly fitting to remember Chuck
> on the 80th anniversary of his birth. The essay seeks to reach a
> broader audience beyond academia, practicing public social science
> by telling what he called "superior stories" of social processes -
> in this case, the processes of democratization, de-democratization
> and democracy promotion.

> "Grudging Consent" presents the core arguments he presented in his
> book Democracy (2007) which he regarded as the culmination and
> synthesis of all his work on the subject. In just a few pages, Chuck
> lays out the core of his theory of democratization, de-
> democratization and democracy promotion. He likens the process of
> citizens offer grudging consent (not to be presumed automatic) to
> Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of employing “voice” backed by the
> threat of “exit.”
>
> As Craig Calhoun said at the Hirschman Prize ceremony: Chuck Tilly
> both studied how voice could matter and exemplified it at the same
> time. Below, you can find a list of the memorial conference links
> and of related webpages in memory of Chuck - if you like to look
> through them again today.
