PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY: A NEW VIEW. BOOK REVIEW: DEMOCRACY: EXPERIENCE OF CRITICAL ANALYSIS. BY A.D. KERIMOV. MOSCOW. NORMA, 2019

Abstract

The peer-reviewed book is the first and only domestic publication in which the critique of democracy as a sociocultural and political-legal phenomenon is amply and concentratedly presented. The author confidently proves that democracy is not the power of the people or the power of the majority, but only a certain technology, a mechanism for acquiring and exercising state power by a minority with the help of the majority, but not always in the interests of the majority.
