Synopsis "La Democracia (in Spanish)"

La democracia parece haber triunfado sobre el resto de regímenes totalitarios, sin embargo son aún muchas las cuestiones que suscita y las diferencias existentes entre modelos distintos. Robert Dahl, uno de los más destacados teóricos políticos de nuestro tiempo, pone a disposición del lector una obra que traza los principales elementos que configuran una democracia, las instituciones imprescindibles que la sustentan, las condiciones económicas y sociales que favorecen su desarrollo y los criterios necesarios para evaluarla. Desde sus orígenes históricos y filosóficos hasta los retos que deberá afrontar a lo largo del siglo XXI, en este breve libro se configura una definición precisa, certera e inteligible de la Democracia. Imprescindible lectura para cualquiera que esté mínimamente interesado en la política de su tiempo.

La crítica que NYT hace al libro, copiada en la contraportada del mismo, resume la brillantes del texto: "Loable ejercicio de Dahl por presentar una materia compleja de una forma accesible, sencilla y apta para el gran público".
