Opis

Democratisation emerged at a time of epochal change in global politics: the twin impacts of the end of the Soviet Union and the speeding up and deepening of globalisation in the early 1990s meant a whole new ball game in terms of global political developments. The two dozen articles collected in this volume are emphatic proof of the power of the written word to induce debate, uncertainty and ultimately progress towards better forms of politics by focusing on the achievement of the democratic aspirations of men and women everywhere.
