Democracy: A Very Short Introduction by Naomi Zack
Democracy refers to both ideal and real forms of government. The concept of democracy means that those governed the demos have a say in government. But different conceptions of democracy have left many out. Here, Naomi Zack takes us through key conceptions of democracy, from ancient Athens to the modern world.
..the book is interesting from a historical perspective in that it sets out details of past and present concepts of democracy. * Michelle Gresty, Law Society *
