Our democracies repeatedly fail to safeguard the future. From
pensions to pandemics, health and social care through to climate,
biodiversity and emerging technologies, democracies have been
unable to deliver robust policies for the long term. In this book,
Graham Smith asks why. Exploring the drivers of short-termism, he
considers ways of reshaping legislatures and constitutions and
proposes strengthening independent offices whose overarching goals
do not change at every election. More radically, Smith argues
that forms of participatory and deliberative politics offer the
most effective democratic response to the current political myopia,
as well as a powerful means of protecting the interests of
generations to come.
