Excerpts: Paige, Nonkilling Global Political Science: Click Here for chapter one. Parenti, Democracy for the Few, p. 46: "In this book, democracy refers to a system of governance that represents both in form and content the interests of the ruled. Decision makers are to govern for the benefit of the many, not for the advantages of the privileged few. The people hold their representatives accountable by subjecting them to open criticism, the periodic check of elections, and, if necessary, recall and removal from office. Democratic government is limited government, the antithesis of despotic absolutism." *** Click on your back key to return to your previous screen *** Last update: 11/15/04 E-mail: [email protected] Disclaimer: Advertisements to the right are posted by Yahoo/Geocities as a condition for use of this free Web page and are not necessarily endorsed by the U. of Hawaii system. |
