PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

'Two commitments give shape to the Democratiya project. The first is to defend and promote a left politics that is liberal, democratic, egalitarian, and internationalist. Those four adjectives should routinely characterize left politics, but we all know that they don't. The second commitment is to defend and promote a form of political argument that is nuanced, probing, and concrete, principled but open to disagreement: no slogans, no jargon, no unexamined assumptions, no party line. This argumentative style, which is also a moral style, is exemplified in these interviews, where no-one is flattered or set up and where no hard questions go unasked. The men and women interviewed speak plainly, without concealment, and they take importantly different positions on a range of issues.'
Michael Walzer, from the Preface

'The Democratiya Interviews do more to re-establish and invigorate a coherent concept of democratic internationalism than any single volume in recent memory. Democratic thinkers and activists throughout the world can use these interviews as a reference point in their struggles against dictatorial systems and closed-minded political and pseudo-religious orthodoxies. This book is both a breath of fresh air and an act of democratic solidarity.'
Carl Gershman, President of the National Endowment for Democracy

'The principles Democratiya develops with such flair are the best route out of the swamp in which too many liberal-minded people have been stuck for too long.
Nick Cohen, author of What's Left? How the Left Lost its Way.

'Democratiya has emerged as the leading voice of a new kind of moral politics grounded in the resolve to stand firm against new threats to freedom and democracy in the 21st century. If you are looking for original thinking on the left, this outstanding collection is the place to find it. Prepare to be provoked and challenged.'
Thomas Cushman, Professor of Sociology, Wellesley College

'At a time when foreign policy and international security debates are plagued by clichés and caricatures, these engaging and illuminating interviews – prompted by Johnson's nuanced but penetrating inquisition – offer something genuinely fresh and insightful.'
Michael Allen, Editor, Democracy Digest

'Alan Johnson has edited an important and engaging volume of interviews with intellectuals and journalists who play leading roles in today's debates on global politics. At a time when political argument is so riddled by cliched venom, every reflective person on the left who is concerned about the dangerous state of our world should read this collection and think very hard about the different arguments made in it.'
Mitchell Cohen, co-editor, Dissent Magazine and professor of political science at Baruch College, City University of New York

Since its launch in 2005 Democratiya has been read by 250,000 readers from over 40 countries. According to Paul Berman, Democratiya is 'the liveliest and most stimulating new intellectual journal on political themes in the English-speaking world'.

The Iraqi pro-democracy blogger Iraq the Model says Democratiya.com is a great source of information that every reader in the Middle East should be able to access. A small monthly contribution from you can help keep Democratiya free'.

Tony Blair says, 'Democratiya.com has made an essential contribution to defending our common democratic values of solidarity with those struggling for liberty around the world. In the battle of ideas we require deep intellectual analysis and the sort of moral clarity that Democratiya provides. I fully support your efforts and I sincerely hope your work can continue to influence progressives in the UK, Europe and internationally.'
