In looking at the remarkable proliferation of democracies since
1974, this volume offers important insight into the challenges and
opportunities that democracy faces in the twenty-first century.
Distinguished contributors detail difficulties that democracies
face from within and how they deal with them. Among the
contemporary threats to democracy emanating from internal sources
are tensions arising over technology and its uses; ethnic,
religious, and racial distinctions; and disparate access to
resources, education, and employment. A democratically elected
government can behave more or less democratically, even when
controlling access to information, using legal authority to aid or
intimidate, and applying resources to shape the conditions for the
next election. With elections recently disputed in the United
States, Mexico, Lebanon, and the Ukraine, debates about the future
of democracy are inescapably debates about what kind of democracy
is desired.
Contributors are W. Lance Bennett, Bruce Bimber, Jon Fraenkel,
Brian J. Gaines, Bernard Grofman, Wayne V. McIntosh, Peter F.
Nardulli, Mark Q. Sawyer, Stephen Simon, Paul M. Sniderman, and
Jack Snyder.
