Zusammenfassung:"As democracy is disrupted by globalization, the solution is to globalize democracy. This book explores the causes of the current crisis of democracy and advocates new ways for more representative, effective, and accountable governance in an interdependent world. In Part I, the authors analyze the economic and social transformations that underlie people's dissatisfaction with the way democracy works in developed countries and their distrust in existing institutions, in particular the split of the middle class and the subsequent political polarization. They also address the role of political emotions, including the importance of expectations rather than actual performance in producing disappointments, the incitement of anger from opposition parties and candidates, how fear is induced by the government, and, in turn, how new proposals for reform and change are wrapped up with hope. Part II evaluates and discusses practices and institutions that could help democracy endure and prosper. A more effective governance would require reallocations of power at local, national, continental and global levels with innovative combinations of direct democracy, representative government, and rule by experts. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, comparative politics, international relations, political economy and democratic theory, as well as general readers interested in politics and current events"--
