This book explores the political and legal institutions necessary
for a democratic socialism in advanced industrial societies. It
argues that a democratic socialist society needs a firm framework
of public law, and a formal constitution. Populist conceptions of
direct democracy and informal justice are argued to be inadequate
as the primary means of democratic control in a complex society;
likewise Marxist views of the "withering away of the state" are
challenged as utopian. The book maintains that radical reforms in
political institutions are necessary in order to effect social
change.
