Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Small crease to corner back cover. The rapid spread of democracy all around the world in the last quarter of the twentieth century is one of the most remarkable and significant developments in modern history. In 1900 only ten countries could be counted as democracies. By 1975 there were thirty. Today, 119 of the world's 190 countries have adoped democracy, and it is by far the most celebrated and presitigour form of government. How did democracy acquire its good name? Why did it spread so far so fast? Why do important countries remain undemocratic? What accounts for the fact that the introduction to one of democracy's degining features - free elections - has sometimes led to political repression and large scale bloodshed? And why do efforst to export democracy so often fail and even make conditions worse? In this book the author, one of America's leading foreign thinkers, answers these questions and presents a lucid, comprehensive, and surpring account of the history and future of democracy from the American Revolution to the occupation of Iraq. 316 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
