Description
Democracy: Problems and Perspectives offers a critical examination of democratic thought and practice, exploring the nature of self-rule in a regime where citizens unite to give law. This interpretation draws on Immanuel Kant's political philosophy, highlighting the importance of local and global patriotism.
The book addresses key issues such as human rights, their relationship to democracy, and the policy of promoting human rights globally. It also considers sovereignty, popular sovereignty, multicultural citizenship, and cosmopolitanism, providing a comprehensive overview of democratic theories and practices.
Through its analysis, Democracy: Problems and Perspectives aims to stimulate debate about the future of democracy in an era of globalisation, encouraging readers to engage with the complexities of democratic thought and practice.
