2011 shook the world politically. The Occupy Movement, Los
Indignados and the Greek Aganaktismenoi (outraged) reacted to
zombie capitalism in the West, while the Arab Spring challenged
political tyrannies in the Maghreb-Mashreq region.Democracy became
the meta-question of the moment. New communicative technologies
unleashed a tidal wave of civic protest that spread across the
globe, bringing new political actors on to the street. But what
does this protest movement mean? Are we on the threshold of a
transformation in global political consciousness? Is civil society
the necessary counter-power that is democratising democracy from
within? Or are we living through an apocalyptic terminal phase of
civilisation? In the second, revised edition of this indispensable
book, the author looks behind the mirror of power and
differentiates the real from the fake in policy and politics. It
offers an original and compelling history of the present and will
have wide appeal to a broad cross-disciplinary audience.
