Baru-baru ini, buku Demokrasisma: Masalah-Masalah Dalam Sistem Demokrasi telah mendapat ulasan dari Dr. Sidi Muhammad Yusoff. Ulasan ini telah diterbitkan di dalam bahasa Inggeris. Berikut adalah sedutan ulasan dari Dr. Sidi:
"I believe the author adopts an unconstrained vision, as evidenced by his belief in substantial changes to the political landscape and his moral scepticism agaisnt current institutions. Zainal, on the other hand, adopts a more constrained view, as his work aims not at radical revolution, but as a “shock” to awaken the Malays into action. His belief in internal reform through stable, incremental change is a hallmark of the constrained vision. Indeed, this dance of ideas between two young thinkers is much needed in our fatigued climate of political rhetoric and anti-intellectualism.
The author concludes the book by asking why we should continue to be optimistic about democratic institutions, when they have failed us at many historical junctures.
The final chapter, written in the context of the horrendous situation in Gaza, ironically mirrors Fukuyama's conviction that liberal democracy is the “final” and most perfect chapter of human history.
This is not merely a polemical political book, but a sober one carried by critical analysis. Highly recommended."
