Rethinking Democracy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783111825670)

The world is in crisis. Wars erupt, inequality is widening, climate breakdown accelerates. Polarization deepens, and populists feed on it. The world has changed. The old model of democracy isn't working any more.This book argues that good societies always build on empowering individuals. Postwar democracy did so based on shared identities and limited interdependence. A new model of democracy must embrace our new individualized and interconnected world. Rethinking Democracy reinvents it that way.Hanno Scholtz's Civil Democracy concept shifts the focus from elite competition to empowering citizens as decision-makers. It offers a bold new vision and strategy for globally rebuilding democracy for the 21st century.
