Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the rivalry between democratic, citizen-powered governments and absolutist, autocratic regimes throughout history. The author demonstrates how grassroots democratic movements continually strive to increase citizen influence over their leaders and how external forces often work to undermine these efforts. This theme is explored from ancient times through the development of new democratic systems of government in the Americas. The author traces the evolution of democratic principles from their origins in tribal societies and early attempts at self-rule through the rise and fall of monarchies and empires to the emergence of modern democratic nation-states. The analysis provides a framework for understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by democracies today and underscores the value of citizen participation in shaping their own governance.
