Description
Exploring the history and evolution of democracy, this Big Idea series volume investigates whether it remains a viable form of government.
The concept of democracy is often associated with free and fair elections, active citizen participation, protection of human rights, and the rule of law. However, many countries do not meet these basic requirements, and far-right and populist politicians have gained traction in recent years. Writer Niheer Dasandi examines whether populism represents a new face of democracy or if democracy is simply the will of the people.
This thought-provoking volume offers a nuanced exploration of the state of democracy today, shedding light on its strengths and weaknesses.
