Democracy is established as a generally uncontested ideal, while
regimes inspired by this form of government fall under constant
criticism. Hence, the steady erosion of confidence in
representatives that has become one of the major political issues
of our time. Amidst these challenges, the paradox remains that
while citizens are less likely to make the trip to the ballot box,
the world is far from entering a phase of general political apathy.
Demonstrations and activism abound in the streets, in cities across
the globe and on the internet. Pierre Rosanvallon analyses the
mechanisms used to register a citizen's expression of confidence or
distrust, and then focuses on the role that distrust plays in
democracy from both a historical and theoretical perspective. This
radical shift in perspective uncovers a series of practices -
surveillance, prevention, and judgement - through which society
corrects and exerts pressure.
