EXCERPT: The greatest danger which faces democratic government in the modern world is that the peoples of the democracies themselves may not understand their own institutions. This has always been true, but today the problems of government are not only national, provincial, and municipal; they are international. As the range of democratic government widens, the need for an understanding of its aims and principles becomes more pressing. It is with the hope of making some contribution to this understanding in Canada that this book has been written. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. N° de réf. du vendeur 001354
