This wide-ranging text identifies the main arguments about democracy, and distinguishes the broad range of conceptions of the term from participationist to elitist. It proceeds to consider in detail four key issues - justification, inclusion, aggregation and scope - in relation to which these conceptions can be distinguished, concluding with a discussion of political obligation and the evaluation of rival views.
