Sommario/riassunto |
|
Brings together an introduction to the political theory of democracy since Ancient times. The author examines the work of Plato and Aristotle, Rousseau and Mill, Marx and Weber, and locates them and others in the debate about what democracy means. He then scrutinises Britain's claim to be a developing democracy. |
