Within this framework, the book focuses on the particular issue of the challenge posed by violence, both to established democracies and to the establishment of new democracies. He combines these theoretical arguments with real-world examples and case studies to show clearly the challenges that violence poses to liberal democracies.Key FeaturesTakes examples from East Timor, Kenya, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq and FrancePresents fresh arguments for the future conduct of liberal-democratic politics to meet new violent challenges |
