Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Democratic Procedures and Liberal Consensus seeks to examine empirical conditions under which people give their support to liberal democratic regimes and regard policies as legitimate.
MoreLong description:
Liberal theory seeks agreement on political principles in spite of the moral, religious, and philosophical diversity of contemporary societies. Democratic Procedures and Liberal Consensus breaks new ground in developing principles from research on liberal citizen's attitudes towards rights and liberties, distributive justice, procedural justice, and religious beliefs. Because liberal citizens do not generally accept strong individual rights or strongly egalitarian principles of distributive justice, the principles of liberal consensus must be based on almost universal support for democratic political systems and democracy as a value. The details of central liberal principles, including those bearing on democracy itself, must be worked out by appropriate democratic procedures.
Democratic Procedures and Liberal Consensus provides an excellent example of political theorising worthy of emulation. Klosko should be applauded for producing a study that is not only engaging and insightful, but also original and a valuable contribution to both the existing literature concerning the character of a viable conception of political liberalism and, more generally, the ongoing debate surrounding the nature of an appropriate conception of justice for contemporary pluralistic societies.
