«La démocratie des autres» is Amartya Sen's essay on political philosophy, published by Rivages poche in paperback (96 pages, in French).
The essay questions the idea that democracy is an exclusively Western invention. Amartya Sen analyzes how this system has taken root in different cultures and why imposing it from outside, as the US-led coalition attempted in Iraq, clashes with complex political and social realities.
It belongs to the Rivages poche/Petite Bibliothèque collection (no. 548) and is translated from English by Monique Bégot.
For readers of political philosophy interested in the universality of democracy and in the work of Nobel laureate in Economics Amartya Sen.
