Description
Contemporary Democratic Theory explores the shifting landscape of democratic thought in response to the erosion of democracy. Philosophers are now questioning what is valuable about democracy and how it can be saved, rather than focusing on its best forms.
The traditional comparisons between different types of democracy are giving way to new debates about democracy versus its challengers, such as epistocracy and oligarchy. This book identifies, explains, and evaluates the new directions taken by contemporary democratic theory in challenging times.
