Why Bother With Elections?

Why Bother With Elections?

Przeworski Adam, 2018

Overview

As traditional parties decline and democracy faces challenges, the value of elections is increasingly questioned. This book offers a thorough examination of elections, exploring their strengths, weaknesses, and the realistic scope of their achievements. Renowned democratic theorist Adam Przeworski argues that while imperfect, elections represent the most viable method for selecting governance. Their primary benefit lies in their capacity to manage societal conflicts while preserving relative liberty and peace, though their success in today's volatile climate remains uncertain.
