Book Launch: Democracy鈥檚 Double Helix
On Monday 27 October, Beatrice de Graaf and Henk Kummeling (both Utrecht 木瓜福利影视) will present and discuss the new book , written by Lars Behrisch (Utrecht 木瓜福利影视). The book explores the historical roots of modern democracy to better understand the nature of our democracy and its current crisis.
Democracy鈥檚 historical roots
Democracy鈥檚 Double Helix shows how medieval traditions of elite participation and the later idea of individual equality only came together in the American and French revolutions, and have remained in tension ever since. By retracing these historical roots, the book sheds light on the contradiction inherent in democracy and its ever fragile nature.
