The authors focus on the fundamentals of European democratic culture, arguing that European social life and scientific learning have been indispersible components in the growth of the shared values that democracy pursues. They also analyze the dynamic tension brought to the life of democratic institutions by law, the desire for freedom, and critical public debate. With Europe engaged in perpetual self-examination and rapid change, "European Democratic Culture" provides insights into its democratic past and offers predictions for its democratic future. |
