Product Description

Review
'Much more than an excellent introduction to 'democracy'. An informative, engaging, and inspiring book that goes beyond what one would expect in a 'beginner's' guide, without making itself inaccessible.' --Political Studies

'Beetham's book should stimulate anyone, beginner or expert, who is interested in the survival and renewal of democracy in the era of globalization.' --Peter Singer, Author of The President Of Good And Evil: Taking George Bush Seriously.

'A strong and shrewd mixture of analysis and polemic…If more was not to come, I would call this the author's crowning achievement.' --Bernard Crick, Sir Bernard Crick, Advisor On Citizenship To The UK Government.

Product Description
As the U.S. strives to establish democracy in Iraq and contemplates its own democratic system in the wake of the presidential election, David Beetham offers new insights into democracy. He looks at real examples such as the role of the citizen and how large corporations affect democracy as well as contemplating the future of democracy in the developed and developing worlds.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well-rounded introduction to the topic, 27 Feb 2008
By Mb Awan "abiriax" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I bought this book along with Dahl's introdcution to Democracy, "On Democracy". The writing style of Beetham isn't as fluid, and the books do cover much of the same territory, but this book is filled with many good examples of the causes of disenchantment with democracy and has more UK based examples to illustrate his points. If you are looking for a first book to understand the subject, regardless of whether you agree with the concept of democracy or not, this is a good place to start.
