'This volume successfully exposes the "ghostly presence" of
democracy in the field of geography and shows the value of thinking
about democracy geographically. It is a major contribution to
serious examination of a normative political issue from a
geographical perspective. This is welcome above all because
geography is a field whose cultural and economic branches, though
often claiming the appellation "critical," are currently dominated
by unexamined radical political fantasies' - "John Agnew,
University of California, Los Angeles
"
In an historically unprecedented way, democracy is now
increasingly seen as a universal model of legitimate rule.This work
addresses the key question: How can democracy be understood in
theory and in practise?
In three thematically organised sections, Spaces of Democracy
uses a critical geographical imagination (informed by thinking on
space, place, and scale) to interrogate the latest work in
democratic theory. Key ideas and concepts discussed include
globalization and transnationalism; representation; citizenship;
liberalism; the city and public space; and the media.
This volume comprises commissioned work by leading academics
investigating democracy. Historical and comparative, animated by
wider debates on globalization, it will facilitate the critical
discussion of core questions on citizenship, the state, and
democracy. Spaces of Democracy is essential reading for students of
human geography, political science/international relations, and
political sociology.
