In one of the first attempts to link the expanding field of
leadership studies with classic works in political theory, Kenneth
Ruscio places the study of political leadership squarely within the
field of democratic thought and argues that claims about the
legitimate duties and responsibilities of leaders depend upon
claims about principles of democracy.It is impossible to imagine
effective democracies without effective leaders. Yet leaders are
often seen as the problem democratic governance is designed to
solve, not the solution. Through a careful but lively critique of
some of the classic works in modern democratic thought - from
Machiavelli to Locke and from The Federalist Papers to Rawls - The
Leadership Dilemma in Modern Democracy explains what is meant by
effective political leadership in a system and culture of
government where the power and discretion of leaders are severely
limited. A compelling and provocative study, this volume will be of
interest to scholars of leadership studies, political scientists,
democratic theorists, and all those interested in concepts of
democracy and the challenges faced by leaders.
