Description

Book Synopsis
The election of populist politicians in recent years seems to challenge the very idea of democracy. This book argues that majority rule is not to blame; rather, the institutions that stabilize majorities are responsible for the seeming suppression of minority interests.

Trade Review
The key question—how to ensure that the losers of the electoral game are defended in a way that both protects their own interests and that of the broader political system—is a central one for scholars of democracy, especially those who focus on societies divided along ethnic, religious, linguistic, or similar cleavages." - Benjamin Reilly, University of Western Australia
