Michael Saward: What is democracy?

This book asks: ‘ What is democracy? The question is, "How do we get there?". The word ‘democracy ’ is very familiar to people today, but ironicly, no one thinks deeply about it. So politicians, university scholars, journalists and others are not in agreement about what democracy is exactly. But Professor Michael Sadard, a longtime author of political sciences, explains that this disagreement is what makes democracy so powerful and important. That is, it can be a powerful tool of war that many people use in different ways. The book, through arguments, introduces how the ideology of democracy and its ideas have been formed, congregated and modified from various angles. In fact, among many models of democracy, certain models are not considered correct or sound or virtuous. The author wants to show us the effort and challenge of understanding democracy by covering political leaders, ordinary citizens, and academic theorists to build it up, thus catching their actions and their voices and bringing them to a new dilemma. This book, which shows the possibilities of democracy, is very much a book in chapter one that asks: ‘ What is democracy? To answer the question, Take the case of a certain country. From the election of Pakistan's General Musharaf in 1999 to the end of his election in 2002, to the American presidential stand in Florida in 2000, to the case of anti-European Propada in 2001.
