"Is it meaningful to call oneself a democrat? And if so, how do you interpret the word?" Concentrating on the classical roots of democracy and its changing meaning over time and within different contexts, these essays uniquely defend what is left of the left-wing tradition after the fall of Soviet communism.

Passionately written and theoretically rich, this collection speaks to all facets of modern political and democratic debate.
