Why and how did the crisis come about? Are there any instructive lessons to be drawn from comparisons with the Great Depression of the 1930s? What are the democratic response mechanisms to cope with serious crises? Do they work? Is China a new trend setter? Do values matter? Are global democratic rules a possibility? These are some of the key questions addressed in the volume. 606 $ademocracy 606 $aFinancial crisis 606 $apolitical processes 610 $aPolitical Science 610 $apolitical processes 610 $aliberal democracy 610 $atransformation 610 $aFinancial Crisis 610 $apolitical systems 610 $aeconomy 615 4$ademocracy 615 4$aFinancial crisis 615 4$apolitical processes 676 $a321.8 700 $avan Beek$b Ursula J$4edt 702 $avan Beek$b Ursula J$cProf. Dr.$4edt 702 $aWnuk-Lipinski$b Edmund$cProf. Dr.$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910311931203321 996 $aDemocracy under stress$92272012 997 $aUNINA
