Synopsis
In the wake of the recent expansion of democratic forms of government around the world, political theorists have begun to rethink the nature and justification of this form of government. The essays in this book address a variety of foundational questions about democracy: How effective is it? How stable can it be in a pluralist society? Does it deserve its current popularity? Can it successfully guide a socialist society?

Review
"These are fine essays on democratic theory by top people and they represent the cutting edge of recent scholarship on the subject. Indeed, I know of no collection on democracy of comparable quality and I expect to see this collection become a standard work in the field that influences further research on liberal democratic theory." Gregory Kavka
