What is Democracy?

Alain Touraine, who was first known to Turkish readers with his book "Critique of Modernity" (YKY 1994, 1995), offers answers to a crucial question in "What is Democracy?", which is the sequel to this book.
Touraine, who has made a name for himself by producing competent products in the field of sociology, opens parentheses one after another on a subject that cannot fit into explanations, under the headings "Three Dimensions of Democracy", "History of the Modern Democratic Understanding", "Democratic Culture", "Democracy and Development":
"Democracy must fight on two fronts: On the one hand, it may face the danger of emerging as an ideology at the service of the most powerful; on the other hand, its name may be used in the service of an oppressive power that does whatever it wants. The aim of this book is to fight against these two dangers, to re-establish the political sphere and to promote democratic ideas." is to help it be reborn."
