In the 1990s there has been an increasingly widespread sense that
the governing elites are losing touch with their peoples. leaders
are no longer able to count upon the acquiescence of their citizens
to which they were accustomed. The disenchantment has resulted in
the loss of public support for the political institutions of both
the individual European nation states and of the European
Union.
Taking elitism and populism as the opposite poles between which the
political leaders need to steer, the contributors successively
consider why there appears to have been a degeneration in the
quality of elite leaders, with civil societies turning against
their governments and the elite mediators between the powerless and
the powerful. The agenda-setting role of the media, the rival
appeals to representation and referendum, the problems encountered
by political parties and organised interests, and the tensions
between public demand and economic constraints are all discussed.
The chapters suggest that the need to lead from the front rather
than from behind remains indispensable in elitist democracies.
