What is the future of democracy in an age of political and economic crisis, transnational governance and global protests? The chapters in this superb volume provide original and profound perspectives on the many dimensions of this question, with contributions that range from normative to legal and sociological analysis. This is political theory at its best - innovative, timely and practice-oriented. (Rainer Forst, Goethe-University Frankfurt)
This powerful collection resets the discussion of democracy today. The contributors push a rethinking of citizenship, rights, deliberation, and legitimacy as they confront normative democratic theory with the challenges facing real existing democracies: digital technologies that simultaneously increase participation and surveillance; the build-up of unaccountable international institutions; economic crises, inequality, and debt; and, most important, ongoing riots, protests, and mass resistance that call into question democratic institutions themselves. This path-breaking volume not only crosses the divide between normative democratic theory and social theory, it also establishes the terms of debate for decades to come. (Jodi Dean, Hobart and William Smith Colleges)
