There are few better examples of analysis - the critical thinking skill of understanding how an argument is built - than Robert Dahl's Democracy and its Critics. Dahl sets out to describe democracy's merits and problems, asking if it really is the worthwhile political system we believe it to be. In this work, the American political theorist closely analyzes the democratic political system and then evaluates whether the arguments that are in favor of it are, in fact, rigorous.
But Dahl is not only interested in uncovering uncomfortable truths. Knowing that the idea of democracy is now almost universally popular, his detailed analysis leads him to look at a number of regimes that claim to be democratic but do not, in truth, practice democracy. He goes further and creates a set of standards by which we can all decide whether a country really is democratic.
