“Rather than signalling the aspiration for system of checks and balances against absolute power, democracy become a euphemism for majority rule.”
Peter Mansfield

“Common usage, however, should not allow us to lose sight of the drawbacks of the term, of which the most important is that it assumes a Western domination of the world. That”
Peter Mansfield, A History of the Middle East
