Marc F. Plattner

4.9/5 (20679 ratings)

Description:Thirteen leading scholars and world leaders reflect upon the significance of democracy as a system of government and its consequences both within individual countries and internationally. The book is organized into four parts. "The Democratic Prospect" offers broad-ranging global assessments of the recent history and the future prospects of democracy. "Transitions to Democracy" focuses on three specific cases of democratic the United States in the late eighteenth century, Portugal in the 1970s, and Central Europe after 1989. "Beyond and Below the Nation" deals with democracy at different levels in terms of scale. "Religion, Morality, and Belief" examines perennial problems that confront all democratic societies, whether they are newly emerging or long established. Despite the democracy movement's success over the past 25 years, the authors conclude, democracy faces new threats from ethnic conflict, the stresses of a globalized economy, and a spiritual weariness evident within some older democratic societies.
