Znetvořená demokracie
Author: Nadia Urbinati
10,80 €
Even attempts to improve democracy can weaken citizens’ influence over decision-making. Nadia Urbinati examines three such forms of distortion: epistemic, populist, and plebiscitary. Her argument works toward a defense of representative democracy and its procedures.
The book provides a theoretical framework for thinking about the crisis of political representation and the concentration of media ownership. The available introduction uses an analogy of a political regime’s recognizable form. It draws readers into a conceptually structured discussion of what makes democracy recognizable and sustainable.
Urbinati analyzes distortions of democracy that arise from attempts to overcome its apparent shortcomings.
