Sharing Democracy

Informationen zum Autor Michaele L. Ferguson is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Klappentext Democratic theorists frequently assume that the "people" must have something in common, or else democracy will fail. This produces an ironically anti-democratic tendency to emphasize the passive possession of commonality. Sharing Democracy counters this tendency with a radical vision of democracy grounded instead in the active exercise of political freedom.
