This remarkable volume focuses on one of the most exciting events of our time--the democratic revolution. In countries around the world, oppressive and dictatorial regimes have been overthrown and democracy is emerging as a possible, even likely, replacement. The distinguished contributors to this volume have been and still are engaged in that struggle, often at the expense of their careers, their health, and their freedom. Indeed they risk their own lives. The personal lively testimony of these courageous leaders is blended with a sturdy defense of democratic values.

In Freedom Betrayed, Michael Ledeen weaves together key moments in the fall of communism with the skill of a born storyteller. His insider's knowledge of the interplay of complex personalities and Byzantine strategies makes a compelling narrative - a narrative enlivened by his wit and flair for the dramatic. He observes that just when democracy seemed everywhere triumphant - with the fall of antidemocratic regimes in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa - our leaders failed those fledgling democracies, first by misunderstanding the monumental achievement of that triumph and second by not providing the political, legal, and entrepreneurial know-how and support the new democrats so desperately needed.

From Athens to New York, recent mass movements around the world have challenged austerity and authoritarianism with expressions of real democracy. For more than forty years, Murray Bookchin developed these democratic aspirations into a new left politics based on popular assemblies, influencing a wide range of political thinkers and social movements. With a foreword by the best-selling author of The Dispossessed, Ursula K. Le Guin, The Next Revolution brings together Bookchin's essays on freedom and direct democracy for the first time, offering a bold political vision that can move us from protest to social transformation. A pioneering voice in the ecology and anarchist movements, he is the author of The Ecology of Freedom and Post-Scarcity Anarchism among many other books.

A brilliant and original examination of American freedom as it existed before the Revolution, from the Smithsonian’s curator of social history. The American Revolution is widely understood—by schoolchildren and citizens alike—as having ushered in “freedom” as we know it, a freedom that places voting at the center of American democracy. In a sharp break from this view, historian Barbara Clark Smith charts the largely unknown territory of the unique freedoms enjoyed by colonial American subjects of the British king—that is, American freedom before the Revolution. The Freedoms We Lost recovers a world of common people regularly serving on juries, joining crowds that enforced (or opposed) the king’s edicts, and supplying community enforcement of laws in an era when there were no professional police. The Freedoms We Lost challenges the unquestioned assumption that the American patriots simply introduced freedom where the king had once reigned. Rather, Smith shows that they relied on colonial-era traditions of political participation to drive the Revolution forward—and eventually, betrayed these same traditions as leading patriots gravitated toward “monied men” and elites who would limit the role of common men in the new democracy. By the end of the 1780s, she shows, Americans discovered that forms of participation once proper to subjects of Britain were inappropriate—even impermissible—to citizens of the United States. In a narrative that counters nearly every textbook account of America’s founding era, The Freedoms We Lost challenges us to think about what it means to be free.

On The Night Of July 25, 1975, Indian Democracy Came Within A Hair-Breadth Of Extinction. A People Who, Thirty Years Earlier Had Wrested Their Freedom From The Greatest Empire On Earth, Came Close To Losing It For Ever. That India Had Been Given A Second Chance To Make Democracy Work Is Due Entirely To The Miscalculation Of The Would-Be Dictator. Mrs. Indira Gandhi Believed That The Indian People, Cowed And Crushed By Nineteen Months Of Unbridled Tyranny, Would Be Too Enervated By Fear To Oppose Her But Mrs. Gandhi Was Wrong. The People Of India Discarded Mrs. Gandhi S Well-Ordered And Regimented Dictatorship And Opted For The Flawed And Imperfect Liberal Model. If The Democratic Concept Came Close To Being Destroyed, It Was Because The People Of India Had Taken It For Granted, Delegating Power To Representatives Undeserving Of Their Trust, And Looking On Their Rulers As Their Masters Instead Of What They Actually Were-Servants On Electoral Sufferance. The Author, A Victim Of The Coup, Had Enough Time During His 15.5 Months In Jail To Ponder The Causes That Led Up To It. What He Found Most Difficult To Swallow Was The Glib Explanations Offered By His Colleagues In Jail About Their Woefully Shallow Understanding Of Democracy Itself. It Is This Realisation Of Pervasive Ignorance And Apathy That Led Him To Write This Book - An Attempt To Trace The Genesis Of Democracy And Search For The Origins Of The Attitudes And Institutions That Sustain It. The Book Tries To Explain The Virtues Of Democracy And How They Were Arrived At; It Also Tries To Warn Its Friends Against The Onslaughts Of Economic And Political Controls And Those Who Would Advocate Them. At Times This Book Will Prove Heavy Going But Human Freedom Is So Precious That The Fact That Plato Or Hegel Or Marx Need Effort And Concentration For A Proper Understanding Should Be Accepted Cheerfully, Their Right Postulates Acclaimed, Their Wrong Conclusions Rejected, And An Independent Assessment Arrived At. Finally, The Book Has An Inspiring Message: If People Are Ready To Live Democracy Earnestly Enough, They Will Never Have To Die In Order To Preserve It. A Liberal In The Best Sense Of The World, Piloo Mody Has Made His Mark As One Of The Great Iconoclasts Of India S Parliament With Devastating Sallies Against The Pompous, The Cur-Rupt And The Incompetent - All Delivered With Wit And Urbanity. By Profession An Architect, With A Degree From The University Of California, Mr. Mody Has The Distinction Of Having Worked With Le Corbusier At Chandigarh. He Has Found Time To Edit A Political Weekly, March Of The Nation, Has Written Numerous Articles For The National Press And Is The Author Of Zulfih, My Friend, Published In English, Hindi And Urdu. An Advocate Of Sound And Constructive Labour Relations, Mr. Mody Is Patron Or President Of Several Labour Groups Ranging From Officers Of The Life Insurance Corporation To The Hawkers Of Delhi. At The Moment He Is The Chief Proponent Of A New Political Culture In India To Bridge The Gap Between Kathni And Karni (Precept And Practice).

The most recent wave of democratic revolutions has convinced many in the West of the triumph of political rights. But in this provocative book, Brian Grodsky argues forcefully that nothing could be further from the truth. Today’s revolutionaries—both democratic and non-democratic—are much like those who preceded them throughout history. They’ve all come into power promising enhanced political, but especially economic, rights: higher wages, better living standards, more security. The difference between today’s pro-democracy leaders and yesterday’s non-democratic ones, the author demonstrates, rests on the perceived international legitimacy of the democratic template. Now, when even the most abusive regimes feel the need to label themselves democracies, opponents delegitimize rulers by calling them undemocratic. This sets the stage for what Grodsky calls the “democratization disconnect.” Leaders and followers fight for political change not as an end, but as the most acceptable means to attain economic rights. But by selling democracy as a panacea for the ills of the preceding regime, new elites simultaneously cheapen the notion of democracy and, by creating unrealistic popular expectations, set it up for failure. Putting a fresh new spin on hotly debated current events, this clear-eyed and informed book will be essential reading for all politically engaged readers.
