The Collapse of DemocracyTemple Smith, 1975 - 300 halaman From the perspective of Great Britain in the mid-1970s, the author looks at what is meant by democracy and how it relates to liberty and a 'liberal society'. He examines the experience of societies where democracy has broken down in the 20th century, such as Portugal, Chile, Czechoslovakia, and Weimar Germany. He discusses how far tolerance can be extended to those who seek to destroy a 'tolerant society', distinguishes between authoritarian and totalitarian government, and suggests ways in which it could be made harder for 'subversive' minority groups to manipulate the British system of government. |
