Overview

"The two-month long election day in Florida made one thing clear: we need to find ways to make the American political system more responsive to the demands of all citizens. This book provides a critical assessement of a broad range of electoral reforms proposed to enhance responsive government. It aims not only to analyze the obstacles to full political participation, but to capitalize on the window of opportunity that election 2000 has provided to make the American political system more truly democratic - to realize ""democracy's moment""."

Bringing together a rich and thoughtful collection of essays written by democratic theorists, researchers, and practitioners, Democracy's Moment provides a thoughtful and compelling argument for the need to rediscover our tradition of democratic reform, and a pragmatic blueprint for how to do so. This book should be read by anyone interested in the theory and practice of participatory democracy.--Delli Carpini, Michael X.
