Publisher Description
This fearless study offers a broad and realistic understanding of what is and isn’t possible in modern politics. Higley contends that stable liberal democracy is possible only when elites, although always self-interested, are unified and drive a coherent political agenda. Without this vital component, the prospects for lasting democracy grow dim.
