Description

What do ordinary citizens really want from their governments? Democracy has long been considered an ideal state of governance. What if it’s not? Perhaps it is not the end goal but, rather, a transition stage to something better. Drawing on original interviews conducted with citizens of more than thirty countries, Zizi Papacharissi explores what democracy is, what it means to be a citizen, and what can be done to enhance governance. As she explores how governments can better serve their citizens and evolve in positive ways, Papacharissi gives a voice to everyday people, whose ideas and experiences of capitalism, media, and education can help shape future governing practices. After Democracy expands on the well-known difficulties of realising the intimacy of democracy in a global world—the “democratic paradox”—and presents a concrete vision of how communications technologies can be harnessed to implement representative equality, information equality, and civic literacy.

Praised for its originality and intimate style, After Democracy combines personal reflections with key theory to explore democracy's challenges. Mark Deuze highlights its valuable and personal approach, while Adrienne Russell notes it provides a blueprint for engaged communication and responsive governance. Thomas E. Patterson calls it a wise reflection on democracy's unfulfilled promise, and Michael X. Delli Carp sees it as a timely meditation on the future of democratic governance.
