- Description
- Series Description
- A lively and accessible guide to the history, doctrine, and practices of democracy
- Challenges the view that democracy is a single, overriding imperative
- Stresses the importance but also the dangers of unmodified and unrestrained democracy
- Unravels the startlingly contrasting ways in which 'democracy' has been interpreted in different times and places
- Covers the main controversies about such issues as who should have a right to vote, by looking at key case studies
- Bernard Crick is one of the best known and most respected academics in politics
- Known also for his journalism and as principal author of the 'Crick Report' on the teaching of citizenship and politics in schools
No political concept is more used, and misused, than that of democracy.
Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, Literary Theory to History, and Archaeology to the Bible.
Not simply a textbook of definitions, each volume in this series provides trenchant and provocative--yet always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in a given discipline or field. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how the subject has developed and how it has influenced society. Eventually, the series will encompass every major academic discipline, offering all students an accessible and abundant reference library.
Whatever the area of study that one deems important or appealing, whatever the topic that fascinates the general reader, the Very Short Introductions series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable.
Please note: As this series is not ELT material, these titles are not subject to discount.
