Features: The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, the author criticizes liberal representative democracy from different angles, with the central argument being that many of the difficulties in liberal democratic politics stem from its theory itself. In the second part, the author discusses the important value and significance of participation from the perspective of citizenship and, on this basis, proposes the fundamental principles and operational methods that strong democracy should follow.
