Is there still time to save it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDemocracies 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'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, \u003ci\u003eSaving Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Evans\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of Democracy 2025 and Professor of Governance at the Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGerry Stoker\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Governance at the University of Southampton, UK.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 21, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47355138081017,"sku":"9781350328259","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Zzl2aVVtTmIyK0VISWRLTFMzYkd0UT09_07d17b18-79e8-404a-8ff2-87f06ac0de19.webp?v=1769848816","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/saving-democracy-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
