Soft Despotism, Democracy's Drift by Paul Anthony Rahe
In 1989, the Cold War abruptly ended and it seemed as if the world was at last safe for democracy. But a spirit of uneasiness, discontent, and world-weariness soon arose and has persisted in Europe, in America, and elsewhere. Investigating the thinking of Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Tocqueville, this title explores the nature of liberal democracy.
Paul A. Rahe is professor of history and political science at Hillsdale College and author of Republics Ancient and Modern: Classical Republicanism and the American Revolution and Against Throne and Altar: Machiavelli and Political Theory under the English Republic.
