I will now begin a third series, The Impact of Athenian Democracy on the re-appearance of Democracy and its further development.   First, I will discuss the influence of Athenian democracy on the re-emergence of democracy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and its initial forms. Second, I will turn to the question of whether or not Athenian democracy has any lessons to offer the world of today, a vastly different place than when democracy first developed.
