Freedom and autonomy. Equality. Representation. Majority rule. Citizenship. Marxist and socialist critiques. Conservative, elitist, and authoritarian critiques. Feminist critiques. Civil society. The market. Nationalism. Multiculturalism. Non-Western perspectives. The future of democracyWithin the space of one volume this comprehensive coverage provides a genuine "handbook" to help citizens of democratic societies understand the ideals underpinning their societies, the ways their societies can live up to the democratic ideals they proclaim, and the obstacles that lie in the path of democracy today.
