The Democratic Imagination Zusammenfassung

The Democratic Imagination: Envisioning Popular Power in the Twenty-First Century James Cairns

Democracy is very much an open question in the early twenty-first century. While voter participation declines in many traditional democracies, new movements for democracy are emerging around the world. This book brings the question of democracy out of the halls of political power and home to our daily lives, pitting official democracy and democracy from below against one another in a lively debate. For more information see www.democraticimagination.com.

The Democratic Imagination Bewertungen

Those who read this book will come away with their own thoughts on official democracy and democracy from below, especially since the authors engage on so many different topics. The goal is to cause readers to think deeply about these issues, and the book does this quite well. It can certainly be integrated into a wide variety of political science and sociology courses, too, because of the effectiveness of the book's overarching frame. -- American Review of Canadian Studies
