Parag Khanna & the Democracy Dilemma

Democracy Kills: What’s So Good About Having The Vote  has been endorsed by none other that Parag Khanna, author of the internationally best-selling Second World: Empires and Influence in the New Global Order,  chosen for the New York Times Year in Ideas. Parag himself has been named as one  of Esquire’s 75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century. This is what he says:-

A brilliant work.  Tersely written and bracing in argument, perhaps only a distinguished, veteran traveler-journalist like Humphrey Hawksley could have written such a book. Democracy Kills is not only a first-hand tour de force review of the last two decades of hotspots, but it also frames one of today’s great global debates with nuance and wit.”
