Popular Sovereignty in the West

Polities, Contention, and Ideas

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is an inquiry into the history of the idea of popular sovereignty as it has been shaped by the struggles between rulers and ruled. It builds on the notion that a thorough analysis of how the idea of popular sovereignty emerges from, and interacts with, a political history of contention within changing polities can help us to draw similarities and differences with our own age.
