Sinossi
Decrying the assumption that if a country's government is not communist or that of an identifiable dictator then it is a democracy as "lazy," Arblaster (retired, politics, U. of Sheffield, UK) sets a much stricter definition of democracy rooted in the notion of popular power. He looks at problems this definition causes in evaluating "democracies and suggests that the growing power of corporations and the creation of large extra-national governmental bodies could be construed to mean that the project of democracy is far from finished.
