Copyright; Contents; Abbreviations; Preface to the second edition; Introduction; Part 1 Contextualizing the debate over democracy; I Interpreting democracy: philosophicaldebates; 2 The ambiguity of democracy; 3 Expanding democracy; 4 Can there be nonliberal democracy?; Part 2 Explaining democracy: causal debates; 5 The market; 6 Civil society; Part 3 Pursuing democracy: political debates; 7 Power, legitimacy, and the interpretation ofdemocracy; 8 Deromanticizing democracy; Bibliography; Index.

Summary: This new edition examines some of the philosophical and theoretical issues underlying the?democratic project? which increasingly dominates the fields of comparative development and international relations. The first concern presented here is normative and epistemological: as democracy becomes more widely accepted as the political currency of legitimacy, the more broadly it is defined. But as agreement decreases regarding the definition of democracy, the less we are able to evaluate how it is working, or indeed whether it is working at all. The second issue is causal: what are the claims being.
