This highly acclaimed and popular academic text is now available in
a new edition, having been revised and updated to cover the
analyses of the use, abuse and ambiguity of many essential concepts
used in political discourse and political studies. These include
basic concepts such as liberty, democracy, rights, representation,
authority and political power.
New to this edition are three sections of great topical
interest:
- entirely original analysis of global terrorism, which puts the
recent developments of Islamic terrorism into perspective by
comparing it with earlier examples of terrorist tactics by a
variety of state agencies, revolutionary groups and minority
nationalist movements
- extended discussion on multiculturalism, which supplements
theoretical arguments with succinct summaries of the differing ways
in which ethnic and cultural minorities have dealt with in Canada,
Britain, France and the Netherlands
- section on democratization that focuses on the problems, social
and political and even theological, involved in turning
authoritarian regimes into stable democracies in the Middle East
and elsewhere.
The Concepts and Theories of Modern Democracy is a stimulating
guide to current world problems as well as essential reading for
foundation courses at first or second year level such as elements
of politics, political concepts and ideas and fundamentals in
politics.
