This volume explores democracy in the 20th century, examining the triumph, crises, recovery, and resilience of democracy and its associated cultures in this period. From 1920 democracy became the hegemonic discourse in political cultures, to the extent that even its enemies claimed its legacy. The paradox is that the century of democracy's triumph was also that of its near final defeat, while the peace and stability that everybody desired and many expected as the outcome of the extension of democracy were, at best, intermittent and geographically limited.

Este volumen explora la democracia en el siglo XX, examinando el triunfo, las crisis, la recuperación y la resistencia de la democracia y sus culturas asociadas en este periodo. A partir de 1920, la democracia se convirtió en el discurso hegemónico de las culturas políticas, hasta el punto de que incluso sus enemigos reivindicaron su legado. La paradoja es que el siglo del triunfo de la democracia fue también el de su derrota casi definitiva, mientras que la paz y la estabilidad que todos deseaban y muchos esperaban como resultado de la extensión de la democracia fueron, en el mejor de los casos, intermitentes y geográficamente limitadas.

POLITICAL SCIENCE > Political theory. Theory of the state. > Forms of the state (Imperialism, fascism, world state,...).
