The Democracy Leader

"If we are to reduce the risk/of terrorism in the future, we must strengthen democracy both at home and abroad. I can't think of a better starting place than The Democracy Reader. In one highly readable volume, Myers packs real-life stories of democratic transformation with excerpts of writings by preeminent scholars of democracy, and adds a wide array of historical documents and an excellent bibliography. In short, The Democracy Reader is a gateway to what can be a new democratic era."
