David Altman Libros

Exploring the interplay between direct and representative democracy, this book examines how various institutional frameworks influence democratic practices. It delves into the dynamics of citizen engagement and decision-making processes, providing insights into the effectiveness and challenges of each democratic form. Through comparative analysis, the author sheds light on the implications for governance and public policy, making it a valuable resource for understanding modern democratic systems.

The narrative centers around Joseph Giant, an Oxford professor who challenges political correctness in the face of what he perceives as a growing threat from the outspoken Muslim community in Britain. He argues that traditional customs, such as church bells ringing on Sundays, are being undermined to appease a minority, reflecting his concerns about cultural shifts and the erosion of British values. Giant's provocative stance raises questions about freedom of expression and the balance between multiculturalism and national identity.

Citizenship and Contemporary Direct Democracy is for anyone who studies democracy, elections, or political institutions. Its original data makes it indispensable for researchers, while the accessible, non-technical approach makes it suitable for students and teachers alike. The normative argument will appeal to political theorists and philosophers.
