Description

The People by Margaret Canovan explores one of the most influential yet understudied political concepts: the idea of the people. Despite its significance, this concept has been neglected by theorists due to its vagueness. Canovan sets out to clarify the meaning of the people, tracing its development from ancient Rome to the present day. She examines the conflicting interpretations and ambiguities surrounding the concept, revealing unresolved political issues. The book delves into the theoretical and practical aspects of the people's boundaries, populism, and democracy. This study offers a fresh perspective on debates about popular sovereignty, shedding light on the complex relationships between power, identity, and governance.
