As neo-Nazis, right-wing populists, and authoritarians, old and new, stake their claims around the world, democracy faces its greatest challenge yet. The only way to save it is to change it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemocracy as we know it is flawed. The three pillars that divide power in liberal democracy--the executive, legislative, and judicial--keep citizens from making decisions about policies that affect them most. For a true democracy to flourish, argue Patrizia Nanz and Claus Leggewie, we need a fourth pillar: the consultative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis short and accessible guide to new kind of political engagement offers a chronicle of the political past and present--including an important analysis of right-wing populism's recent and historic allure--and a robust analysis of the accomplishments of protest movements and citizens' groups. With a rare optimism, which values the wisdom of the masses over the narrow-mindedness of today's tyrants, this guide is a modern call-to-arms for a more democratic future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrizia Nanz, Claus Leggewie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771134070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771134071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Between the Lines\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 4.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Patrizia Nanz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984258466047,"sku":"9781771134071","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97cd9509-82e9-4ef7-84ba-c174243cd113.jpg?v=1683271356","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-representation-without-consultation-patrizia-nanz-9781771134071","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
