‘models’. Dahl’s Democracy and its Critics(1989) is clear and comprehensive, and particularly
memorable for its critique of majoritarian rule. John Dunn has a very thought-provoking
chapter on democracy in his Western Political Theory in the Face of the Future(1979). M.
Finley, Democracy Ancient and Modern(London: Chatto and Windus, 1973) has an excellent
description of ancient Greek democracy. David Held’s Democracy and the Global Order
(1995) is very useful for those particularly interested in reworking the concept in the light
of international trends. Fareed Zakaria in The Future of Freedom(New York: Norton, 2003)
deals knowledgeably with the problem of liberalism and democracy.Weblinks
