Product Description
Instead of presenting democracy as an ideal political system that humans only imperfectly realize, John Markoff conceptualizes democracy as something continually being reinvented. Instead of reducing democracy to well-defined and routine practices and institutions such as elections and parliaments, Markoff shows how political movements have repeatedly challenged and remade existing institutions. After reviewing two centuries of political conflict, he concludes with a thoughtful and exciting discussion on what democracy means today and what its future might be.

His recent work includes The Great Wave of Democracy in Historical Perspective (Cornell University Western Societies Monograph 32), The termination of Feudalism: Peasants, Lords and Legislators in the French Revolution (The Pennsylvania State University Press and (with Gilbert Shapiro) Revolutionary Demands: A Content Analysis of the Cahiers de Dolances (Stanford University Press).
Reader Reviews
John Markoff is a truly original thinker and he discusses the progress and regress of democracy the world over without any nationalistic or ideological prejudice. The very best survey of the history of democracy I know.
