Praise for
Democracy’s Good Name
“Michael Mandelbaum’s excellent and broadly accessible
book seeks to account for democracy’s success and to assess
the prospects for its extension . . . [a] measured and instruc-
tive book.”
“Democracy’s Good Name
brings clarity to its subject . . . a valu-
able book by a thoughtful student of international affairs.”
—ARCH PUDDINGTON,
Commentary
“
Democracy’s Good Name
is an important book. Clearly written
and organized, and mercifully free of technical jargon and
abstruse theory,
Democracy’s Good Name
is an indispensable
guide for any citizen who wants a fuller and more accurate
understanding of the political system which we all enjoy, and
the promotion of which now animates our foreign policy.”
—BRUCE THORNTON,
PajamasMedia.com
“A useful new book.”
—PHILIP STEPHENS,
Financial Times
“A lucid, accessible blend of history, political science, and
sociology, with a wealth of fresh insights into the making of
the contemporary world.”

Publishers Weekly
“Mandelbaum deftly analyzes the necessary conditions for
genuine democracy to thrive.” —
Yale Global Online Magazine
“Mandelbaum’s theory about democracy’s natural evolution is
both hopeful and a useful plea for patience to those who would
try to impose democracy by force.”
—
Forbes.com
“Presented in clear, spirited prose,
Democracy’s Good Name
provides democracy practitioners and policymakers alike with
an engaging explanation for the global surge of democracy.”
—
International Foundation for Election Systems Book Review
—PETER BERKOWITZ,
The Weekly Standard
 “Thoughtfully and provocatively argued,
Democracy’s Good
Name
offers insight into what is arguably the furthest reaching
and most powerful doctrine of our time.”
—
Blackwell’s Book Reviews
“Mandelbaum examines the important evolution of democ-
racy in the last century and a half.
Democracy’s Good Name
is
thoughtful and deserves attention.” —HENRY A. KISSINGER
“At a time when the term democracy is being used in ways that
misrepresent it, Mandelbaum has done a very important ser-
vice by examining what it really means—majority rule and a
vibrant civil society working together. Readers of this book
will understand why democracy has achieved its stature and
why that is now endangered.”
—NATAN SHARANSKY, former deputy prime minister
of Israel and author of
The Case for Democracy
“As presidents and their advisers file into the situation room to
ponder the latest international explosion, they are almost always
joined by an idea—the idea of democracy. In this special book,
Michael Mandelbaum tells you why: Democracy is of course
lodged in the American soul, but presidents also advance it out
of the cold calculation that a secure peace depends on creating
democratic governments. Only someone with Mandelbaum’s
precision of mind and learning can take us through this tricky
and sometimes tragic foreign policy labyrinth.”
—Leslie H. Gelb, former
New York Times
columnist and pres-
ident of the Council on Foreign Relations
“Lively and provocative.”
—JOHN MUELLER, Woody Hayes Chair of National
Security Studies, Mershon Center Professor of
Political Science, Ohio State University
