This book, 'Models of Democracy' by David Held, offers an introduction to the central conceptions of democracy from classical Greece to the present, presenting a critical discussion of what we understand today as democracy. The edition has been revised and updated to reflect the transformations that have occurred in world politics in recent decades, including the impact of the collapse of the Soviet empire and the perspectives of the democratic nation-state in the face of regionalization and globalization.
