Synopsis

From freedom of speech to censorship, populism and protest, social media and conspiracies, the modern landscape of democracy is a crowded, contested, and often confusing place. Navigating Democracy provides the map you need to start exploring some of the big ideas that shape societies today. Provocative questions prompt concise answers written by an expert author, each one serving as the starting point to chart a course through the promises and paradoxes of democratic life. With ‘one-stop’ graphics signposting memorable ideas for each topic, and ‘route map’ glossaries explaining key terms and their connections, this is your expert guide to discovering whether democracy is the ultimate safeguard of freedom―or a fragile system forever at risk of breaking down.
