Review :
"A strong and shrewd mixture of analysis and polemic... If more was not to come, I would call this the author's crowning achievement." - Sir Bernard Crick, advisor on citizenship to the UK government and author of In Defence of Politics. "Beetham's book should stimulate anyone, beginner or expert, who is interested in the survival and renewal of democracy in the era of globalization." - Professor Peter Singer, author of The President of Good and Evil: Taking George Bush Seriously and One World: The Ethics of Globalization.
