Anotace
This book re examines the history of democracy, broadening the
traditional view with previously unexplored examples. This
substantial reference work critically examines the history of
democracy, from ancient history to the directions it might take in
the future. Over the course of 42 chapters, it explores the full
breadth of the origins of democracy and expands the canon of
democratic history by exploring new - and sometimes surprising -
examples from around the world. Split into 9 parts, each part
contains an introduction to the period followed by three to five
case studies of specific governments or political movements. This
is the first book to study lesser known histories of democracy
alongside familiar examples. It includes historical accounts from
leading scholars that document the development of democratic
practices in their area or epoch of interest. Contributors include
Jack Goody, John Keane, Larbi Sadiki, James Anderson, John Fisher
and Seymour Drescher. Examples include ancient India, medieval
Venetia, Native America, Iraqis, ancient Athens, Women's Suffrage
and the Anti Apartheid movement.
