Reviews

Peter H. Russell, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of Toronto:

'In Democracy Off Balance, Stefan Braun carries out a rigorous and provocative examination of the assumptions used to support restrictions on political discourse aimed at promoting diversity and social harmony. For Canadians concerned about the condition of free speech in our constitutional democracy, Braun's book is mandatory reading.'

'In Democracy Off Balance, Stefan Braun carries out a rigorous and provocative examination of the assumptions used to support restrictions on political discourse aimed at promoting diversity and social harmony. For Canadians concerned about the condition of free speech in our constitutional democracy, Braun's book is mandatory reading.'
