She argues that its prospects depend on how we tackle three dilemmas that were as urgent in Tocqueville's day as they are in ours: how to institutionalize popular sovereignty, how to define nationhood, and how to grasp the possibility and limits of global governance. These are pivotal but often neglected dimensions of Tocqueville's work, and this fresh look at his writings provides a powerful framework for addressing the tensions between liberalism and democracy in the twenty-first century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRecovering a richer liberalism capable of weathering today's political storms, \u003ci\u003eTocqueville's Dilemmas, and Ours\u003c\/i\u003e explains how we can reclaim nationalism as a liberal force and reimagine sovereignty in a global age--and do so with one of democracy's most discerning thinkers as our guide.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEwa Atanassow\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Politics at Bard College Berlin.
