Reviews

"This is an enormously impressive update on what we need to know about democracy. Excellent analysis of democracy's many problems, but also a welcome outline of why we can have hope for a better global future. Really fascinating, insightful, and inspiring." — Arend Lijphart, former President of the American Political Science Association"Extremely timely and relevant, and likely to remain so. Exceptionally accessible and active for a scholarly book; it is the kind of book which could also have appeal beyond the academic world."— Benjamin Reilly, University of Western Australia, Australia"A quite unusual global coverage. Particularly appreciated is the inclusion of India, incredibly misconsidered in many international comparative works on democracy. The style is very clear and appealing for a wide audience beyond the academic circle."— Piero Ignazi, University of Bologna, Italy"This is a much-needed introduction to world affairs, one that ably combines themes in comparative and international politics in a thought-provoking way."— Alfred G. Cuzán, The University of West Florida, U.S.A
