In this book Democracies of the East A Study in Comparative Politics observes that communalism in the east is not a new experiment but an old and established tradition in political pluralism. In its consonance with the natural and instinctive bases of group formation it resolves that unfortunate dualism between the state and the individual which had been the overgrowth of the mechanical state of the nineteenth century. In its ideal of the free choice of the individual in shaping the aims and policies of diverse autonomous groups local and functional to which he belongs it rescues democracy from its identification with political democracy which indeed is responsible for most of its failures in the west. It carries the state as it were on the wings of the Individual's desires and feelings to those humanistic ideals which the world associates with the east and which will more and more govern the politics of the future. 418 pp. Artikel-Nr. 72182
