内容説明
In this analysis of democracy, the author explores the concept which has come to reign supreme in the pantheon of political ideas. He deals with problems of democratic theory: the nature of democracy, majoritarianism, democracy and individual freedom, power and the relationship between socio-economic factors and political equality. The author assesses the work of the major democratic theorists, whose accounts frequently conflict. His analysis seeks to answer the central questions surrounding the subject, such as "what is democracy?" and "what value does it provide for people?"
