Liberal Democracy in Non-Western States

This book addresses the attempts and the possibilities for democracy in the Caribbean and Pacific islands, in Latin America, in Africa, in India, and in Asia, in areas where the majority of the world's population resides with indigenous cultures far removed from Aristotle or monotheism. Seasoned experts discuss the attempts to bring democracy to the populous and the remote areas of the world. They make it abundantly clear that to achieve a genuine democracy with prosperity, we must advocate more than free elections and a free press. Democracy, if it does take hold, will manifest in new cultural expressions, quite different from those in the West.
