The argument is a bit like crossing a ravine on a bridge of eggshells, and is conducted with considerable intellectual excitement ... Dryzek's discussion is throughout careful, rigorous, detailed, and in dealing with views from which he distinguishes his own position, scrupulously sympathetic. Rodney Barker, Democratizaton, Vol.8, 2001 Review from previous edition There is much to like and learn from this small but densely argued volume ... All scholars interested in the relationship between democracy and voluntary organizations in civil society will find important food for thought...richly argued and thoughtful...even though this book will raise many questions and criticisms, these are themselves a reflection not of Dryzek's failure as a political thinker, but of his strength as an interesting, provocative, and serious democratic theorist AMERICAN POLITICAL SCIENCE REVIEW Dryzek has convincingly argued the case for a more critical, insurgent, pluralistic, reflexive, transnational, ecological and dynamic discursive democracy. More than this, he has carved out an adventurous, distinctive path through much familiar terrain. POLITICAL QUARTERLY This clear and imaginative presentation of recent attempts to make democracy more inclusive than traditional liberal models bounded by the institutions of the state is highly recommended. --Choice<br> Author InformationJohn S.
