Still, one should not conclude that democratic engagement be
dismissed and its forbearers ignored (Finley 1980: 25), but rather ask
what the basic features of democratic institutions are and how they
can be refined in order to reach the most balanced outcome. In this
respect, Athens continues to be a shining example as the community
in which the proportionally highest number of citizens governed itself
over a significantly long period of time (Ottmann 2001: 105).
