«A Ditadura Liberal» is Jean-Christophe Rufin's essay on the power of democracies, published by Publicações Europa-América in Portuguese.
Rufin argues that the liberal democracies of the twentieth century hide a secret: the keys to effective power are not where they seem to be. Through a critical analysis, he dismantles the dynamics and contradictions of the liberal system and shows how democratic rhetoric coexists with practices that concentrate authority away from citizens' control.
The Portuguese edition from Publicações Europa-América includes on the cover the mark of the Prémio Rousseau 1994.
For readers of political philosophy and for those seeking a critical reading on power and the contradictions of liberal democracies.
Jean-Christophe Rufin is a French doctor, diplomat, historian and novelist. He is the president of Action Against Hunger, one of the earliest members of Médecins Sans Frontières, and a member of the Académie française.
