"Democracy: Problems and Perspectives" provides a critical review
of the scholarly and political debates about democratic thought and
of arguments about democratic practice. On the basis of an
interpretation of Immanuel Kant's political philosophy, the book
presents democracy as a regime type in which citizens, who are
united to give law, rule themselves and where such self-rule is
exercised by citizens who embrace local and global patriotism. In
the course of developing this idea of democracy, the book addresses
issues such as human rights and their relationship to democracy;
the policy of the global promotion of human rights and democracy;
sovereignty and the nation-state; popular sovereignty and
multicultural citizenship; and cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitan
democracy.
The book will stimulate controversial discussions about the
varieties of democratic imaginations and visions, past and present
as well as the future of democracy in the current stage of
globalisation.
