Democracy's Troubles : Twelve Threats to the American Ideal and How We Can Overcome Them Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Evidence is accumulating that democracy is under siege--in the United States and around the world.

This volume identifies and explains a dozen separate challenges threatening American democracy today.

Sorting them into political and social/cultural problems, each challenge is placed in historical context to describe how they work together to undermine the democratic underpinnings of the nation.

Opening with a sketch of the historical development of democracy, this book makes the case for improved civic education, rebuilding trust in institutions and leaders, promoting good character and the revitalization of the healthy community.

A renewed commitment to our governmental institutions is necessary for us to fulfill democracy's promise.
