Written by Richard Swift.
Published in Canada in association with Internationalist Publications™ Publications Ltd. by Between the Lines, 2002.

Description:

How democratic is democracy? The author takes the pulse of today's body politic and finds the patient in an enfeebled state. This book explores how democracy is constricted and deformed by economic pawn-brokers and a self-serving political class. The democratic malaise is upon us, Swift argues, in this introduction to the bittersweet triumph of democracy after the Cold War.

The book is also a guide to the rich diversity of forms of elected government and contains some practical ideas for empowering today's voters around the world.

Includes:
  • What is democracy?
  • Democratic malaise
  • Weak and strong democracy
  • Democratizing the economy
  • Beyond the nation-state
  • Democratizing democracy
  • Democracy and ecology
  • Strong democracy in the South
“... a splendid new series of pocketable guides to issue politics ... rigorously clear ...” – The Guardian, London
