The recent financial and economic crisis has forced governments
and people from around the globe to ask some hard questions about
how democracy has evolved. Some of these are old questions; others
are new. Is democracy really the most desirable form of government?
How democratic is policy-making during the financial and economic
crisis? Why do vote-seeking parties in modern democracies actually
make voters miserable? Can women s under-representation in politics
be explained because of voter bias? Why are some citizens still
excluded from voting in their country? And can terrorist
organizations that promote violence one day, really become
democratic the next?
This represents the first book of its kind to ask and answer a
broad range of hard questions that need to be addressed in times of
both flux and calls for democratic change throughout the world. It
does so by bringing together leading social scientists and rising
stars from around the globe. Interdisciplinary in its analysis, it
is essential reading for students of comparative and international
politics, political philosophy, gender studies and economics.
The book's website can be found at: www.democracyquestions.com
and it was originally published as a special issue of Irish
Political Studies.
