Democracy is in crisis. Is there still time to save it? Democracies
face external threat from aggressive authoritarian states.
Internally, citizens have grown increasingly distrustful of
politicians and more cynical about national and global governance
institutions. The time is ripe for democracy to renew itself. This
text offers a state-of-the art overview of democratic innovations
today, moving beyond cries of the 'death' or 'end' of democracy to
instead offer a range of practical solutions for how to save it and
restore faith in democratic practice. 'Old' democratic power,
represented by existing structures, is being challenged. 'New'
power involves collaboration and rapid feedback loops, as well as
increased citizen participation. The future of democracy, the
authors demonstrate, will be about findings ways of melding 'old'
and 'new' power practices. Offering a broad and accessible survey
of what different forms of democracy and democratic innovations
look like today, and how they can develop in future, Saving
Democracy shows us the potential for transformation across the
entire democratic process. Avoiding a reductive focus on simply
getting citizens more involved in decision-making, this book
uniquely argues for the importance of refining and monitoring how
democratic decisions are made and followed through.
