Summary "This book examines the political rights case law of the European Court of Human Rights. The book explores the conception of democracy underpinning the European Convention on Human Rights and the case law.

The book highlights how the Convention might be interpreted to support a more deliberative, participatory and inclusive model of democracy"-- Provided by publisher
