Reviews
The eight authors who reflect on Tocqueville in this book provide an authentic and effective reminder of the relevance of Tocqueville's observation that tyranny may appear in places we least expect to see it: in democratic societies. In the best tradition of humanistic enquiry, these authors speak about the fundamentals and teach these fundamentals to the reader., "Tocquevillian Ideas: Contemporary European Perspectives would be beneficial for postgraduate students and those who are interested in the effects of Tocqueville's ideas on democracy and freedom in the last century; the book provides an almost comprehensive outline of the main themes in Tocqueville's thought." -- Political Studies Review "The eight authors who reflect on Tocqueville in this book provide an authentic and effective reminder of the relevance of Tocqueville's observation that tyranny may appear in places we least expect to see it: in democratic societies.
