内容説明
A Stanford University Press classic.
目次
Part I consists of a lengthy chapter by the editor that outlines the challenges to traditional conceptions of democracy posed by the evolving world order. Part II (6 chapters) focuses on current theoretical disputes about liberal democracy and contending conceptions of democratic life - particularly the criticisms of pluralist, participatory, socialist, and feminist theorists of democracy. Part III (5 chapters) extends the discussion by examining several fundamental questions about the form and limits of democracy, notably the tension between democracy and markets, the military constraints placed on democratic policy making, the role of the media in both enhancing and subverting the democratic process, and the nature of modern democratic citizenship. Finally, Part IV (6 chapters) assesses the opportunities and potential for democracy in Eastern Europe, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

内容説明
Many Western states are experiencing growing popular disillusionment with the ability of the democratic system to respond to their needs and aspirations and to exercise adequate control over the activities of government and politicians. This disaffection is often linked to social and ethnic movements seeking to redraw the boundaries of the state from within and to a perception of the state's impotence in the face of economic, social, military, and environmental problems of an increasingly international nature. This comprehensive overview of democracy across the globe explores its nature and future through theoretical analyses and a wide-ranging set of case studies.
