In looking at the remarkable proliferation of democracies since 1974, this volume offers important insight into the challenges and opportunities that democracy faces in the twenty-first century. Distinguished contributors detail the contemporary threats to democracy emanating from internal sources such as tensions arising over technology and its uses; ethnic, religious, and racial distinctions; and disparate access to resources, education, and employment. Contributors are W. Lance Bennett, Bruce Bimber, Jon Fraenkel, Brian J. Gaines, Bernard Grofman, Wayne V. McIntosh, Peter F. Nardulli, Mark Q. Sawyer, Stephen Simon, Paul M. Sniderman, and Jack Snyder.
"Setting out the main challenges that face both emerging and mature democracies, this collection will be essential for political scientists, sociologists, economists, historians, and communications scholars who seek to understand the nature of democracy in the twenty-first century."--Edward G. Carmines, coauthor of Issue Evolution and Reaching Beyond Race
