Abstract :
This paper explores the idea of democracy and why it is difficult to implement despite being a perennially attractive idea since long. The paper thus examines the ideas of liberal and participative democracies, some unresolved debates in democratic theory, and criticisms against democracy. The paper concludes that in light of this the task of political theory and practice is to reinvent what is citizenship and governance and find ways of realizing them in terms of good life for all.
