With the collapse of traditional parties around the world and with
many pundits predicting a "crisis of democracy", the value of
elections as a method for selecting by whom and how we are governed
is being questioned. What are the virtues and weaknesses of
elections? Are there limitations to what they can realistically
achieve? In this deeply informed book world-renowned democratic
theorist Adam Przeworski offers a warts-and-all analysis of
elections and the ways in which they affect our lives. Elections,
he argues, are inherently imperfect but they remain the least bad
way of choosing our rulers. According to Przeworski, the greatest
value of elections, by itself sufficient to cherish them, is that
they process whatever conflicts may arise in society in a way that
maintains relative liberty and peace. Whether they succeed in doing
so in today's turbulent political climate remains to be seen.
