Recenzje

In this path-breaking book, Sofia Näsström maintains that we need to go beyond the idea of the sovereign people as the foundation of modern democracy and focus instead on the spiritof emancipation. By adopting this perspective, the book offers novel and convincing arguments about not only the problems that democracy is facing today, but also how democracy can be renovated. Anyone who cares about the future of democracy will want to engage with this eye-opening book.
