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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. This book expands on the well-known difficulties of realizing 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zizi Papacharissi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300245963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300245967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 1.00d","brand":"Zizi Papacharissi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987556958463,"sku":"9780300245967","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_464ec197-6a44-47f5-98f1-f37efd3d3c9d.jpg?v=1683289696","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-democracy-zizi-papacharissi-9780300245967","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
