In \u003cem\u003eDemocratic Practice, \u003c\/em\u003e Robert M. Fishman elucidates why some democracies include the economically underprivileged, and cultural others within the circles of political relevance that set policies and the political agenda, whereas others exclude them. On the basis of in-depth research on Portugal and Spain, Fishman develops a theoretically innovative explanation for the breadth of democratic inclusion and draws out large implications for democracies everywhere. \u003cem\u003eDemocratic Practice \u003c\/em\u003eexamines the record of two countries that began the worldwide turn to democracy in the 1970s, showing \u003cem\u003ehow\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ewhy\u003c\/em\u003e basic assumptions about what democracy is, and how political actors should treat one another, diverged. The book offers detailed empirical evidence on how an inclusive approach to democratic politics provides major benefits not only for the poor and excluded but also for others, drawing large lessons for contemporary democracies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert M.
