Justice and Democracy Paperback: Essays for Brian Barry - Softcover

'... provides a grounded basis for the opening debate about the difficulty of promoting democracy ... What this collection of essays does, and does well, is to ask the serious questions about how democracy and democratic institutions effect and promote concepts of justice. ... the questions raised in the essays are important because they require the reader to address in a careful and considerate way what we should expect of democracy, and how, once we agree on those expectations, we should strive to achieve them.'
