The problems confronting democratic governments and movements in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the post-communist countries are also considered.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This is an anthology of articles from 'The Journal of Democracy', a quarterly sponsored by the quasi-official National Endowment for Democracy. For those unfamiliar with it, the 'Journal of Democracy' since its founding four years ago has published some of the best contemporary writing on the subject of modern liberal democracy."--'Foreign Affairs'
