Democracy East and West

The book explores the intricate nature of democracy, highlighting its evolution since the Enlightenment as a means to escape oppressive structures. It delves into the complex dialectical relationships inherent in democracy, such as the tensions between elitism and populism, liberty and equality, and the interplay of politics and economics. The author argues that these relationships, while evident in specific nations, also extend to international dynamics, offering a nuanced perspective on the challenges and realities of democratic governance.
