Welcome to the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution... Our site has changed as has our institution. The main body of this site is moving to AlexisdeTocqueville.com, which will carry out AdTI's core mission of studying the ideas and ideals of our namesake, Alexis de Tocqueville, on the extension and perfection of democracy. UPDATES: May 11, 2010: James Wood graces The New Yorker, with an important new review of Tocqueville's place in the literary firmament. Check out Beaumont's perspective on Wood, "Tocqueville — beyond Google-map," at the Alexis de Tocqueville Weblog. DISCUSSION: If you're a Tocqueville scholar, or just an enthusiastic student or admirer, and would like to correspond with others, or help AdTI answer questions from others, visit our Alexis de Tocqueville discussion board and join the Tocqueville group at Yahoo. And don't forget an occasional Tocquevillian perspective on current history or Tocqueville criticism, at the Alexis de Tocqueville blog. QUESTIONS: If you'd like to ask about a quotation or statement attributed to Tocqueville, or find scholars familiar with his works and their context, post your questions about Alexis de Tocqueville at our query page.
