This volume guides readers through the current constitutional systems in the Western world in an attempt to decipher the reasons and extent of the decline of the nexus between 'elections' and 'democracy'; it then turns its gaze to the past in search of some answers for the future, examining early and classical Athens, and finally early republican Rome. In discussing Athens, it explores how an authentic 'power of the people' is more than voting and something rather different from representation; while the examples of Rome demonstrate - thanks to the paradigm of the so-called tribunician power - the importance of institutionalised mechanisms of dialogic conflict between competing powers. This book will be of primary interest to scholars of legal history, both recent and ancient, and to classicists; but also to the more general reader with an interest in politics and history"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Democracy |xHistory. |=^A83099 650 0 Republics. |=^A25519 651 0 Athens (Greece) |xPolitics and government. |=^A15933 651 0 Rome |xPolitics and government |y510-30 B.C. |=^A128281 650 7 Democracy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 Politics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Republics. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01095073 651 7 Greece |zAthens. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204474 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 Rome (Empire) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204885 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 510-30 B.C. |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:Pelloso, Carlo. |tDemocracies and republics between past and future |dAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 |z9781003130505 |w(DLC) 2020043955 830 0 Routledge focus on classical studies. |=^A1355599 880 0 |6505-00/(SIntroduction.
