Book SynopsisThis text assembles 80 of the most pressing questions about democracy, systematically arranged in six sections: basic concepts and principles; free and fair elections; open and accountable government; individual rights and their defence; democratic or civil society; and the future of democracy.
Trade Review"Valuable as a primer in liberal democracy, and helpful in initial discussions of democracy."
Global Times "This book is written by two of the best interpreters of democracy and human rights in this country. It is so well written (and illustrated, with cartoons) that I believe it to be understandable to anyone aged 11 or more and is interesting and relevant enough to be recommended to everyone, especially voters."
