The majorconflicts between the Global North and the South can be
expected toresult from the confrontation of alternative conceptions
of democracy,mainly between liberal or representative democracy and
participatorydemocracy. The hegemonic model of democracy, while
prevailing on aglobal scale, guarantees no more than low-intensity
democracy. Inrecent times, participatory democracy has exhibited a
new dynamic,engaging mainly subaltern communities and social groups
that fightagainst social exclusion and the suppression of
citizenship. In thiscollection of reports from the Global
South-India, South Africa,Mozambique, Colombia, and Brazil-De Sousa
Santos and his colleaguesshow how, in some cases, the deepening of
democracy results from thedevelopment of dual forms of
participatory and representativedemocracy, and points to the
emergence of transnational networks ofparticipatory democracy
initiatives. Such networks pave one of the waysto the reinvention
of social emancipation. This is volume 1 of the Reinventing Social
Emancipation project, edited by Boaventura de Sousa Santos.
