In \u003ci\u003eEnvisioning Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e, the editors and contributors address the following questions: What does democracy mean today? What could it mean tomorrow? What is the dynamic of democracy in an increasingly interdependent world?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eEnvisioning Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e explores these questions amid the dynamic of democracy as a political phenomenon interacting with forms of economic, ethical, ethnic, and intellectual life. The book draws on the work of Sheldon S. Wolin (1922-2015), one of the most influential American theorists of the last fifty years. Here, scholars consider the historical conditions, theoretical elements, and practical impediments to democracy, using Wolin's insights as touchstones in thinking through the possibilities and obstacles facing democracy now and in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Maley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487565607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487565602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.14w x 1.02d","brand":"Terry Maley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079216951551,"sku":"9781487565602","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc3792fe-a549-48de-9132-020ba3e4f282.jpg?v=1685479853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/envisioning-democracy-terry-maley-9781487565602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
