Reexamining Democracy

"No living political scientist or sociologist is more frequently cited by other scholars than Seymour Martin Lipset. One of the most prolific social scientists of this century--the author (or coauthor) of 21 books and the editor (or coeditor) of 25 more--Lipset's influential Political Man has been published in 16 countries, including Israel, Japan, Vietnam, and Yugoslavia. Now, in this comprehensive and well-integrated selection of essays, an all-star cast pays tribute to Lipset's scholarship by exploring his core theme: the conditions, problems, dynamics, values, and institutions of democracy, both in the United States and comparatively throughout the world." "Reexamining Democracy--like Lipset's own wide-ranging intellectual work--is devoted to rethinking the character and development of democracy in America and beyond. With the ongoing resurgence of democracy in the world and the faltering performances of many established democracies acting as a ironic backdrop, this collection of diverse thought offers fascinating perspectives on a ever potent and compelling social force."--Jacket.
