Inspired by the democratic origins of the Greek naval victory at
Salamis, the book discusses the current pressing issues of
democracy worldwide. In 12 carefully selected chapters,
well-renowned scholars from around the globe discuss topics such as
Brexit, Euroscepticism, or the rise of populism. The authors
further analyze various aspects of democracy, as well as various
types of democratic regimes, such as mixed government, direct
democracy, and cases of quasi democracies. While doing so, they
relate this discussion to the pivotal question of how the quality
of democracy today can be improved, seeking answers and solutions
to current pending problems at the global level. This book is the
second out of two edited volumes as a sequel of an international
academic conference titled Salamis and Democracy: 2500 Years After

law.
