Jane Mummery’s Radicalizing Democracy for the Twenty-first Century offers a much needed overview of the heterogeneous and emerging field of radical democratic theory. It make these often complex and abstract theories accessible to students of all levels and situates them within key theoretical trends while also demonstrating their relevance for understanding and responding to current political concerns. Mummery’s book is a must for any course in modern political theory and international relations. - Kevin Inston, University College London, UK
