Winthrop, Delba. "Aristotle on Participatory Democracy." Polity, Vol. 11, No. 2, Winter, 1978.

Excerpt:

“When political scientists and historians of political philosophy they are understandably tempted to speculate what he might have said about a political problem with which we Americans are vitally concerned: participatory democracy. If our own thoughts about participatory democracy were clear, it might be unnecessary to consult Aristotle; but contemporary analysis tends to be, at best, of little help to democratic politics and, at worst, insufficient for a coherent political science.”
