Few terms elicit such strong and varied feelings and yet have so little clarity as 'democracy.' Leaders of large states use 'democracy' to designate their nations' public character even as critics and rivals use the term to validate their own political perspectives.

In Envisioning Democracy, the editors and contributors address the following questions: what does democracy mean today? What could it mean tomorrow? And what is the dynamic of democracy in an increasingly interdependent world? Envisioning Democracy explores these questions amid the dynamic of democracy as a political phenomenon interacting with forms of economic, ethical, ethnic, and intellectual life. The book draws on the thought of Sheldon S. Wolin (1922-2015), one of the most influential American theorists of the last fifty years. Here, scholars consider the historical conditions, theoretical elements, and practical impediments to democracy, using Wolin's insights as touchstones in thinking through the possibilities and obstacles facing democracy now and in the future.
