Democracy and human rights are universal values that should be vigorously promoted around the world. They are integral to effective work on poverty alleviation and conflict prevention and resolution, in addition to being valuable bulwarks against terrorism.
This book is organized around an interlinked set of problems, the relation between democracy and human rights, democracy’s definition and justification, its institutional and societal conditions, the assessment of democracy through democratic audit and the criteria for its consolidation and development. The book will be highly valuable to students of politics who are interested in democracy both as an idea and as a political and social practice, and to those concerned with issues of human rights and their relation to democracy.
