"This collection brings together a decade of original thinking on
the nature of democracy and human rights. With brilliance and
clarity Beetham demonstrates the power of his unique approach to
the integration of normative and empirical political analysis."
Kevin Boyle, Human Rights Centre, University of Essex
"David Beetham's writings on democracy have long been recognized
for their acute combination of normative and institutional
concerns, but this collection makes clearer than ever the driving
force behind his work. Never one to shelter behind notions of
essential contestation or irresoluble difference, he brings an
exemplary clarity to the understanding of democracy and human
rights and addresses the conditions under which these can thrive.
This book cuts through much current confusion. In doing so, it
provides us with many of the tools we need to make our democracies
work." Anne Phillips, London School of Economics and Political
Science
