The fifth century BC witnessed not only the emergence of one of
the first democracies, but also the Persian and the Peloponnesian
Wars. John Thorley provides a concise analysis of the development
and operation of Athenian democracy against this backdrop.
Taking into account both primary source material and the work of
modern historians, Athenian Democracy examines:
- the prelude to democracy
- how the democractic system emerged
- how this system worked in practice
- the efficiency of this system of government
- the success of Athenian democracy.
Including a useful chronology and blibliography, this second
edition has been updated to take into account recent research.
