Democracy: Government of the People or Government of the Politicians? (Critical Currents in Latin American Perspective Series),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
One hundred and fifty years ago, Abraham Lincoln stressed the pressing need for a new definition of 'freedom.' Today, with 85 of some 190 countries claiming to be representative democracies, JosZ Nun makes an equally compelling case for 'democracy.' In emerging democracies throughout much of the developing world, the need is especially urgent, as nascent debates about democracy are modified by such descriptions as delegative, transitional, incomplete, lowintensity, relative, uncertain, or even authoritarian. In accessible and engaging style, Nun provides a comprehensive analysis of the theory and practice of democracy from ancient Greece to contemporary Latin America. The author's authoritative historical and comparative discussion of democracy is combined with his own evaluation of the conditions and possibilities for the development of genuinely democratic societies in our time, in Latin America and throughout the world. The author identifies the preconditions of a democratic regime, the links between citizenship construction and social rights, the centrality of work for the promotion of equality and freedom, and the current democratic deficits both in core and peripheral countries. All readers will benefit from Nun's insightful distinction between two visions of democracygovernment of the people or government of the politiciansand its profound consequences.
