Democracy in Question: Democratic Openness in a Time of Political Closure

By Alan K. Keenan

Book Overview

This book explores the theoretical paradoxes and practical dilemmas that flow from the still radical idea that in a democracy it is the people who rule, and argues that accepting the open and uncertain character of democratic politics can lead to more sustainable and widespread forms of democratic engagement.
