The 5th century BC witnessed not only the emergence of one of the first democracies but also the Persian and the Peloponnesian Wars. John Thorley provides a concise analysis of the development and operation of Athenian democracy against this backdrop. Taking into account both primary source material and the work of modern historians, Athenian Democracy examines:

- The Prelude to democracy
- How the democatic system emerged
- How this system worked in practice
- The efficiency of this system of government
- The success of Athenian democracy

Including a useful Chronology and Bibliography, this second edition has been updated to take into account recent research.
