Description
Can democracy succeed in the new Europe? Will democracy follow the abandonment of one-party government? The American challenge to European authoritarianism is examined in historical perspective. The book argues against the traditional historical view that the origins of democracy can be found in the British parliamentary tradition and in the 18th century Enlightenment.
