This stimulating new international study of the state of democracy
today contributes towards improving and deepening our understanding
of the democratic process, both in new and old democracies. It
brings together a leading group of international experts in the
fields of politics, economics, sociology, journalism, anthropology
and law. It covers key themes that have a bearing on the quality
and sustainability of democratic practices and relates them to
policies in specific countries or regions. A special concern of the
book is to identify and evaluate policies aimed at securing
improvements in democratic practices. Most countries in the world
today have embraced democracy. The rise of democracy has
strengthened support for human rights and is making possible the
resolution of many conflicts through political and legal means. In
many countries, however, the state of democracy is a cause of
concern. Countries that have recently become democratic are often
unable to satisfy elementary social and economic aspirations of
their citizens and many continue to restrict basic civil and
political freedoms. Voters' apathy, distrust of politicians, media
manipulation and corruption are issues that also trouble citizens
in old established democracies. This book was previously published
as a special issue of Democratization.
