Democracy is in shambles economically and politically. The recent
economic meltdown in Europe and the U.S. has substituted democratic
deliberation with technocratic decisions. In Athens, Madrid,
Lisbon, New York, Pittsburgh or Istanbul, protesters have denounced
the incapacity and unwillingness of elected officials to heed to
their voices. While the diagnosis of our political-economic illness
has been established, remedies are hard to come. What can we do to
restore our broken democracy? Which modes of political
participation are likely to have an impact? And what are the loci
of political innovation in the wake of the crisis? It is with these
questions that Reclaiming Democracy engages. We argue that the
managerial approach to solving the crisis violates 'a right to
politics', that is, a right that our collective life be guided by
meaningful politics: by discussion of and decision among genuinely
alternative principles and policies. The contributors to this
volume are united in their commitment to explore how and where this
right can be affirmed in a way that resuscitates democracy in the
wake of the crisis. Mixing theoretical reflection and empirical
analysis the book offers fresh insights into democracy's current
conundrum and makes concrete proposals about how 'the right to
politics' can be protected.
