Book: The Shortest History Of Democracy
Author: John Keane
Genre: Non-Fiction/Political History
Publisher: Picador India
Pages: 256
Democracy is the word that trends globally from time to time, especially now when the largest democracy in the world is going to have its General Elections.
The Shortest History Of Democracy by John Keane is an attempt to make the readers familiar with the concept of democracy from the time of its origin to the recent debates where there are always comparisons between democracy and other forms of government. The book is divided into three parts: Assembly Democracy, Electoral Democracy and Monitory Democracy.
The author talks in detail about the origin of democracy and all the controversies around it. The first part of the book is quite interesting in that context. Although I was a little lost in the second and third parts at some moments.
Overall, this is a good book for someone who wants to know about the evolution of democracy, the emerging challenges and its significance in the current time, and something that could be read in a short duration.
