The last half of the twentieth century has been an era of democratic triumph. The main antidemocratic regimes—communist, fascist, Nazi—have disappeared, and new democracies are emerging vigorously or tentatively throughout the world. In this accessible and authoritative book, one of the most prominent political theorists of our time provides a primer on democracy that clarifies what it is, why it is valuable, how it works, and what challenges it confronts in the future.
Robert Dahl begins with an overview of the early history of democracy. He goes on to discuss differences among democracies, criteria for a democratic process, basic institutions necessary for advancing the goals of democracy, and the social and economic conditions that favor the development and maintenance of these institutions. Along the way, he illustrates his points by describing different democratic countries, explaining, for example, why India, which seems to lack most of the conditions for a stable democracy, is nevertheless able to sustain one. Dahl answers such puzzling questions as why market-capitalism can both favor and harm democracy. And he concludes by examining the major problems that democratic countries will face in the twenty-first century, problems that will arise from complexities in the economic order, from internationalization, from cultural diversity, and from the difficulty of achieving an adequate level of citizen competence.

评分介绍中说,这本书试图将复杂的民主理论通俗化。尽管如此,却依旧觉得晦涩难懂,吃力地阅读带来的结果,像是极苦的中药丸,无可奈何得咬一口总要停歇一会才有勇气,咽得第二份苦。可当吃完一整粒中药丸,片刻休息神清气爽之时,暮地发现疗效甚佳。此书将疗效充分发挥,如老中...
评分之前看过达尔的一本《现代政治分析》,也许是因为今年看的书太杂太快,记忆不明了,总要看着目录才记得看了些什么。之后总还要再看一次这些书。 或许过早的接触了反民主的思想,对民主总有点鄙夷不屑,认为那只不过是大多数的暴政而已。因此也就带了些颜色来看这本...

评分也是那种大家写的通俗本。学理上有些漏洞,但文字上相当好。(这本书要看原文)
评分A nice introductory work on the concept of democracy.
评分老王卖瓜自卖自夸的一本力作。全篇论证流畅:“民主好啊“ ,就这个。说实话我觉得真不如Michael Hardt写得好。
