"Democratic Challenges, Democratic Choices uses an unprecedented array of cross-national public opinion surveys to document the erosion of political support in virtually all Western democracies. These trends are making governing more difficult, but also fuelling demands for political reform that may lead to a further expansion of the democratic process and a new democratic relationship between citizens and their governments."--Jacket.
