In this thought-provoking book, Wood argues that democracy is not necessarily the best form of government. Drawing on a wide range of historical and literary sources, he makes the case that a system of government based on the will to power may be more effective, albeit more controversial, than traditional democratic forms.

In the Enlightenment tradition, rationality is considered well-defined. However, the author of this study argues that rationality is context-dependent, and that the crucial context is determined by decision-makers' political power. He uses a real-world Danish project to illustrate this theory.

"To many, a Nietzschean defense of democracy may seem oxymoronic, but Hatab squarely confronts the staunchly antidemocratic tendencies in Nietzsche's writings and offers a surprisingly convincing critique of them based on other aspects of Nietzsche's thought. All who are indebted to Nietzsche for their postmodernism but troubled by his politics will find this a stimulating and illuminating book". -- Bruce Detwiler Author of Nietzsche and the Politics of Aristocratic Radicalism

How do liberal democracies produce citizens who are capable of governing themselves? In considering this question, Barbara Cruikshank rethinks central topics in political theory, including the relationship between welfare and citizenship, democracy and despotism, and subjectivity and subjection. Drawing on theories of power and the creation of subjects, Cruikshank argues that individuals in a democracy are made into self-governing citizens through the small-scale and everyday practices of voluntary associations, reform movements, and social service programs. She argues that our empowerment is a measure of our subjection rather than of our autonomy from power. Through a close examination of several contemporary American "technologies of citizenship"—from welfare rights struggles to philanthropic self-help schemes to the organized promotion of self-esteem awareness—she demonstrates how social mobilization reshapes the political in ways largely unrecognized in democratic theory. Although the impact of a given reform movement may be minor, the techniques it develops for creating citizens far extend the reach of govermental authority. Combining a detailed knowledge of social policy and practice with insights from poststructural and feminist theory, The Will to Empower shows how democratic citizens and the political are continually recreated.
