Reviews

Jeffrey C. Isaac, Indiana University:

What Ian Shapiro has to say is genuinely interesting and meets the highest standards of scholarly accomplishment.

Brian Barry, London School of Economics:

The great strength of these essays is Ian Shapiro's commitment to drawing out the implications of theories of democracy and testing them against the evidence. There is food for thought here for both political theorists and students of comparative politics.

Philip Green:

Jeffrey Sikkenga:

Ian Shapiro presents an engaging and provocative explication of the challenges facing democracy in the coming century.
