This book should be of interest to students of comparative politics and democratization as well as to the general reader concerned with democratic developments in the 21st century.
"This is a strong collection of articles. It covers a wide range of topics relating to democracy - from shifting concepts of citizenship, to multiculturalism, to the practice of democracy in a number of different societies, to the challenges posed by globalization. The articles are by leading specialists in the field; they are clearly argued; and they leave the reader with a sense fo the open-ended nature of the subject." --Professor Philip Resnick, University of British Columbia.
Roland Axtmann teaches political theory and political sociology in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Aberdeen.
