For most citizens of the world, freedom is a requisite condition of democracy. Understanding democracy has become difficult at a time when we are bombarded with phrases and slogans that seek to dichotomize it. This collection of essays is based on the contemporary responses of a diverse group of writers from education, international relations, law, political science, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology to the questions about democracy for Americans within the context of the changing world. %K USA, Demokratische Erziehung, Sozialer Wandel, Education, History, Political Science, Sociology, Aufsatzsammlung, Philosophy %G English
