Description

Theories of Democracy is the first book to be published in this exciting new series on political philosophy. Cunningham provides a critical and clear assessment of the main contemporary approaches to democracy. Among the theories surveyed are liberal democracy, participatory democracy, classic and radical pluralism, deliberative democracy and catallaxy. Also treated are theorists in the background of current democratic thought: Tocqueville, Mill, Rousseau, and others. Solutions offered to problems that can beset democracy, from majority tyranny and ineffective governments to problems in decision-making procedures, are surveyed as are recurrent themes such as representation and the justification of democracy. The book includes applications of democratic theories including an extended discussion of democracy and globalisation.
