Defending Politics

Why Democracy Matters in the Twenty-First Century

Beschreibung

A forceful riposte to the sceptical and the disillusioned, this is a compelling account of why democratic politics matters, why it works far better than we are prepared to admit - and how we underestimate its achievements at our peril.
