SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"With the compelling historic tension between elite and popular models of democracy as a framework, THE DEMOCRATIC DEBATE offers a compelling examination of American democracy. From anti-federalism to contemporary social movements, special attention is given to people whose inspirational actions made a difference. Recent events, including Enron, the evolution of the Christian Right, the protests against the War in Iraq, and the Terry Schiavo case, provide relevance and a new perspective on politics."
