Can the United States—a nation of growing cultural diversity, with increasingly divergent ideals, values, and principles of governance—continue its collective pursuit of freedom, equality, and justice within the traditional framework of limited, representative government? Veteran public official and political scientist Glen Browder addresses this question in The Future of American Democracy. This book will speak to attentive citizens in the U.S. and abroad who are involved in analyzing, studying, and teaching American democracy and people who are involved as participants in the workings of American government and politics.

Glen Browder is a former Congressman who serves as Eminent Scholar in American Democracy, Jacksonville State University, and Distinguished Visiting Professor of National Security Affairs, U.S. Naval Postgraduate School.
