Consequently, if both social and political democracy are legitimate goals, limitations designed to curb excessive political power may also be applicable in containing excessive economic power. Barnard stresses that whatever steps are taken to augment civic reciprocity, the observance and self-imposition of publicly recognized standards is vital. Democratic Legitimacy will appeal to political scientists and philosophers, as well as specialists in democratic theory.McGill-Queen's studies in the history of ideas ;34DemocracyLegitimacy of governmentsResponsibilityPolitical participationDemocracy.Legitimacy of governments.Responsibility.Political participation.321.8Barnard F.
