How has the concept of democracy been understood, manifested, reimagined and represented through the ages? In a work that spans 2,500 years these fundamental questions are addressed by 66 experts, each contributing their overview of a theme applied to a period in history. With the help of a broad range of case material they illustrate the physical, social and cultural contexts of democracy in Western culture from antiquity to the present.

Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to make it as easy as possible to use, chapter themes are identical across each of the volumes. Superbly illustrated, this paperback edition of the full six-volume set combines to present the most comprehensive and authoritative survey available on democracy throughout history.

The six volumes cover: 1. Antiquity (500 BCE–565 CE); 2. Medieval Age (565–1450); 3. Renaissance (1450–1650); 4. Age of Enlightenment (1650–1800); 5. Age of Empire (1800–1920); 6. Modern Age (1920–present)

Each volume discusses the same themes in its ten chapters: sovereignty; liberty; the ‘common good’; economic and social democracy; religion and the principles of political obligation; gender and citizenship; ethnicity, race and nationalism; democratic processes, revolutions and civil resistance; international relations; and expanding the polis, transforming sovereignty.

The page extent for the pack is approximately 2016pp.
