    Description
    An international team of distinguished scholars assembles the evidence of how democratic institutions and processes are changing, and considers the larger implications of these reforms for the nature of democracy. The findings point to a new style of democratic politics that expands the nature of democracy, and also challenges democracies to include all its citizens and govern effectively in an environment of complex government.

    Readership: Scholars and students of Political Science, especially those interested in democratic studies, political participation, and electoral studies
