Several rounds of enthusiastic applause, then, are due Jane Mansbridge . . . for having produced a dense and well written book whose subject is nothing less ambitious than the theory of democracy and its problems of equality, solidarity, and consensus. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Adversary Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e, however, is not simply a work of political theory; Mansbridge explores her abstract subject matter by close studies (using ethnographic, documentary, and questionnaire methods) of two small actual democracies operating at their most elemental American levels (1) a New England town meeting (\"Selby,\" Vermont) and (2) an urban crisis center (\"Helpline\"), whose 41 employees shared a New Left-Counterculture belief in participatory democracy and consensual decision-making. [Mansbridge] is a force to contend with. It is in our common interest that she be widely read.\"-Bennett M.

I began work on it in the late 1960s, when I was a member of several small' participatory democracies.' Sooner or later, internal struggles over equality left each of these groups in disarray.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane J.
