In spite of the challenges facing global democracy, Resnick looks to the next millennium with renewed hope for the democratic project. 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aTwenty-first century 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 0$aTwenty-first century. 676 $a321.8 700 $aResnick$b Philip$01499969 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782637303321 996 $aTwenty-first century democracy$93726414 997 $aUNINA
