Euston Manifesto United States
On 12 September 2006, The Euston Manifesto website published a new statement supported by a list of American signatories, 'American Liberalism and the Euston Manifesto'.[1] This list was also published on a dedicated US website.[2]. The statement was also published on the website of the American magazine Telos. [3]
Boston Globe columnist Cathy Young described the signatories as 'truly a varied group':
- A few, such as American Enterprise Institute scholar Michael Ledeen, could be described as conservative. Some, notably Martin Peretz, editor-in-chief of The New Republic, are noted "liberal hawks" with the reputation of right-wing Democrats. Many others are liberals: emeritus Harvard professor sociologist Daniel Bell; Progressive Policy Institute president Will Marshall, the founder of the Democratic Leadership Council; noted psychiatrist Walter Reich; feminist legal scholar and City University of New York professor Cynthia Fuchs Epstein.[4]
Jeffrey Herf wrote about the US initiative:
- In late summer, the Euston Manifesto group in London helped to put the American signers of the statement in touch with one another via e-mail. I wrote a draft of an American liberal's response. Following several weeks of discussion with Russell Berman (Stanford), Thomas Cushman (Wellesley), Richard Just (The New Republic), Andrei Markovits (University of Michigan), Robert Lieber (Georgetown), and Fred Siegel (Cooper Union), we agreed on the revised text of "American Liberalism and the Euston Manifesto." We then sought support from prominent intellectuals and scholars. The Euston Manifesto group agreed to post it on its website. The statement and the list of signers was posted on September 12, 2006, and is available here) or by clicking on the "International" icon at the Euston Manifesto website).[5]
Herf also announced a related American website, newamericanliberalism.org, which is now defunct.
