Book excerpt: This book is the result of a long and fruitful conversation among practitioners of two very different fields: ancient history and political theory. The topic of the conversation is classical Greek democracy and its contemporary relevance. The nineteen contributors remain diverse in their political commitments and in their analytic approaches, but all have engaged deeply with Greek texts, with normative and historical concerns, and with each others' arguments. The issues and tensions examined here are basic to both history and political theory: revolution versus stability, freedom and equality, law and popular sovereignty, cultural ideals and social practice. While the authors are sharply critical of many aspects of Athenian society, culture, and government, they are united by a conviction that classical Athenian democracy has once again become a centrally important subject for political debate. The contributors are Benjamin R. Barber, Alan Boegehold, Paul Cartledge, Susan Guettel Cole, W. Robert Connor, Carol Dougherty, J. Peter Euben, Mogens H. Hansen, Victor D. Hanson, Carnes Lord, Philip Brook Manville, Ian Morris, Martin Ostwald, Kurt Raaflaub, Jennifer Tolbert Roberts, Barry S. Strauss, Robert W. Wallace, Sheldon S. Wolin, and Ellen Meiksins Wood.

Book excerpt: Athens is often considered to have been the birth place of democracy but there were many democracies in Greece during the Archaic and Classical periods and this is a study of the other democratic states.

Book excerpt: Twenty-five hundred years ago a small Mediterranean community devised a new civic order; the community was Athens and the civic order became democracy. Over almost two centuries Athens struggled to keep its democracy. Previous novels, The Demos at Dawn and The Children of Marathon, have described the early portions of this struggle. The present novel carries the struggle to a close. During the course of this final period, Athenians desperately fought foreign foes and each other, won, lost and suffered through strife, created a thriving commerce and an empire, only to have them lost and then regained and lost again, and produced architecture, art, drama and philosophy unrivaled then or now. This is a story of some men and women of that time, as well as the story of ancient Athenian democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a state-of-the-art debate about the origins of Athenian democracy by five eminent scholars. The result is a stimulating, critical exploration and interpretation of the extant evidence on this intriguing and important topic. The authors address such questions as: Why was democracy first realized in ancient Greece? Was democracy "invented" or did it evolve over a long period of time? What were the conditions for democracy, the social and political foundations that made this development possible? And what factors turned the possibility of democracy into necessity and reality? The authors first examine the conditions in early Greek society that encouraged equality and "people’s power." They then scrutinize, in their social and political contexts, three crucial points in the evolution of democracy: the reforms connected with the names of Solon, Cleisthenes, and Ephialtes in the early and late sixth and mid-fifth century. Finally, an ancient historian and a political scientist review the arguments presented in the previous chapters and add their own perspectives, asking what lessons we can draw today from the ancient democratic experience. Designed for a general readership as well as students and scholars, the book intends to provoke discussion by presenting side by side the evidence and arguments that support various explanations of the origins of democracy, thus enabling readers to join in the debate and draw their own conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before produded in a single work, the 7000 year history of democracy; DEMOKRATIA TO DEMOCRACY, THE REQUIEM is the result of a lifetime of reading. It can be categorized as History, Politics, Religion, Government, Philosophy, Nonfiction, or War.The decision to write came about upon continual evidence of the absolute decline of America - - more and more decline each year. Our government began its decline in 1950's, political decline began in the 80's, moral decline has been quite serious since at least 80's, education went into steep decline with common core in 90's. Now today even mainstream media is ready to abuse or ditch 1st amendment. It is clear that our failing and decline is driven by a year over year reduction in teaching of the most important 3 R's and history and instead, adding more and more miscellaneous subjects. Additionally, our teaching of history is misguided as a result of teaching date memorization instead of teaching what happened on the date and why! Target audience for the book are TEACHERS, PREACHERS, POLITICIANS, and equally important is that great audience of history and freedom lovers. The work is a potential best seller having an audience in America along with all major nations, all across Europe, the Middle East, Persia and the Muslim world. My book is a great read for any and all lovers of history. Sufficient history is included across the Greco Roman, Persian, Hebrew, Muslim world that all those countries will take interest.
