World History of Democracy

Description

Steven Muhlberger:

"This web site has two main purposes. The first is to expose certain historical ideas and interpretations to comment and criticism by scholars and the interested public.

In collaboration with Phil Paine, a long-time friend and independent scholar, I have been thinking about the history of democracy as a world phenomenon for over ten years. In between other projects, he and I have written a number of short pieces on this topic, one of which, "Democracy's Place in World History," was published in the Journal of World History in 1993 and republished in Bring History Alive!: A Source Book For Teaching World History ([U.S.] National Center for History in the Schools, UCLA) in 1997."
