Everyone interested in democratic theory and practice should read this book." — Jean Cohen, Columbia University, author of Regulating Intimacy: A New Legal Paradigm

"Pierre Rosanvallon is a remarkable political thinker who sheds new light on the theory and practice of democracy. This collection brings his important work to an English-speaking audience.
