This fascinating and provocative book will change the way you think about democracy. Challenging conventional wisdom, Daniel
Ross shows how violence is an integral part of the democratic system from its origins and into its globalised future. He draws on
the examples of global terrorism and security, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the relation of colonial powers to indigenous popu-
lations, and the treatment of asylum seekers. His analysis of these controversial issues moves beyond the comfortable stances of both left and right to show that democracy is violent, from its beginning and at its heart.
