Sharing democracy
Ferguson, Michaele L.Author
New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press,
2012.
Democratic theorists frequently assume that the 'people' must have something in common, or else democracy will fail. This produces an ironically anti-democratic tendency to emphasize the passive possession of commonality. Sharing Democracy counters this tendency with a radical vision of democracy grounded instead in the active exercise of political freedom.
