Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book's exploration of the evolution of political thought reveals how the political ideals first conceived by John Stuart Mill in the 19th century have laid the groundwork for the development of self-governance. The author traces the progression of these ideas and concepts into the 20th century, revealing how they have been realized, and also how their realization has fallen short. The book contends that true self-governance requires the continuous control and oversight of those in power by their constituents, and that the methods by which this is achieved must constantly evolve alongside the advance of political thought and the development of new challenges faced by the electorate. Timely and insightful, this book sheds new light on the ongoing development of representative democracy as it continues to grapple with the reconciliation of popular will and governmental authority today.
