Description

Explore deep sociological questions in What Is Democracy? by renowned sociologist Alain Touraine. Published by Routledge, this work serves as a sequel to A Critique of Modernity and examines the current state of social and cultural democracy. In an era where state power faces pressure from the economic influence of transnational capital, Touraine investigates the true meaning of democratic ideas. He questions whether democracy can be defined simply as a system of guarantees against totalitarianism or if it holds deeper social value. This book provides a serious examination of how political structures interact with global economic forces. As a leading voice in sociology, Alain Touraine offers a perspective that is essential for students and readers interested in government, politics, and international relations. This text is a significant addition to any collection of political philosophy and social science literature.
