Democracy has been a flawed hegemony since the fall of communism.
Its flexibility, its commitment to equality of representation, and
its recognition of the legitimacy of opposition politics are all
positive features for political institutions. But democracy has
many deficiencies: it is all too easily held hostage by powerful
interests; it often fails to advance social justice; and it does
not cope well with a number of features of the political landscape,
such as political identities, boundary disputes, and environmental
crises. Although democracy is valuable it fits uneasily with other
political values and is in many respects less than equal to the
demands it confronts. In this volume (and its companion Democracy's
Edges) prominent political theorists and social scientists present
original discussions of such central issues. Democracy's Values
deals with the nature and value of democracy, particularly the
tensions between it and such goods as justice, equality,
efficiency, and freedom.
