This text looks at the political future of democracy, exploring the
latest ideas aimed at renewing popular power. Featuring new writing
by leading European, American and Australian democratic theorists,
this book explores the importance of public deliberation in
democracies, how effective representation for all might be
achieved, and how associations outside government may be at the
heart of democracy's future. The contributors examine issues such
as how our political systems can be revitalized; how ordinary
people can be empowered when issues are so complex; whether the
interests of marginalized groups, or of the natural world, can be
effectively represented; and the role which voluntary associations
can play in democratic governance. Through clear and rigorous
debate, they consider the new institutions and attitudes which will
be needed if democracy is to rise to the many challenges
confronting it. This volume offers searching and accessible
critiques of the latest thinking on deliberative democracy.
