In this informative book, distinguished political thinker John Keane presents the complex history of democratic ideas and practices. He describes the early assembly democracies in the Middle East and Greece, continues with the election-based democracy inspired by Europe, and the birth of representative democracy, while reaching modern control democracy, highlighting the dangers of the dominance of new despotism.
A bold defense of the invaluable global ideal that makes us reflect: Democracy has a history, but does it have a future?
