"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the
others" once remarked Winston Churchill. In this day and age this
quotation resonates more than ever. This book explores democracy
from the perspective of social and cultural psychology,
highlighting the importance of the everyday basis of democratic
practices. This approach takes us beyond the simple understanding
of democracy in its institutional guise of free elections and
public accountability, and towards a focus on group dynamics and
personal characteristics of the democratic citizen, including their
mentalities, habits and ways of relating to others. The book
features discussions of the two-way street between democracy and
dictatorship; conflicts within protests, ideology and public
debate; and the psychological profile of a democratic citizen and
its critique. While acknowledging the limitations of today's
democratic systems, this volume aims to re-invigorate democracy by
bringing psychology to the table of current debates on social
change and citizenship.
