520 3 _aDemocracy is a flawed hegemon. The collapse of communism has left it without a serious institutional competitor in much of the world. In many respects this is, no doubt, a good thing. Democracy's flexibility, its in-built commitment to equality of representation, and its recognition of the legitimacy of opposition politics are all features of political institutions that should not lightly be discounted. But democracy has many deficiencies. It is all too easily held hostage by powerful interests; it often fails to protect the vulnerable or otherwise to advance social justice; and it does not cope well with a number of features of the political landscape. Intensely felt political identities, the drawing and redrawing of boundaries, and global environmental problems are among the most urgent. In short, although democracy is valuable it fits uneasily with many other political values and is in many respects less than equal to the demands it confronts. In this volume (and its companion, democracy's edges) some of the world's most prominent political theorists and social scientists present original discussions of these urgently vexing subjects. Democracy's value deals principally with the nature and value of democracy, with particular attention to the tensions between it and such goods as justice, equality, efficiency, and freedom. Democracy's Edges contains meditations on one of the most enduring problems of democratic politics: how to establish the boundaries of democratic polities democratically. These books provide an accessible extension of the state-of-the-art in democratic theory
