Focusing on the interplay between democracy and socialism, this work offers a significant theoretical exploration of these political concepts. It delves into their historical development and contemporary relevance, providing insights into how they can coexist and influence each other. The author presents critical arguments and perspectives that challenge traditional views, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in political theory and social justice.

This descriptive more than prescriptive journey begins with an Anglo-North American overview of the democratic terrain and then zooms in on specific democratic landscapes: liberal, classic pluralism, catallaxy (exchange economics applied to political science), participatory democracy, democratic pragmatism, deliberative democracy, and radical pluralism. Democracy's place within a globalizing world occupies the last chapter. Cunningham (philosophy, U. of Toronto) admits he leans toward democratic pragmatism as espoused in John Dewey's The Public and Its Problems (1927). Suitable for an introductory university course.
