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.\n\nAs 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. \n\n\u003cem\u003eAfter Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595502403820,"sku":"9780300245967","price":53.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300245967-after-democracy.jpg?v=1777898565","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/after-democracy-by-zizi-papacharissi-9780300245967","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
