Democracy in Crisis?: Politics, Governance and Policy

By Yannis Papadopoulos

Book Overview

Do citizens have meaningful opportunities to exercise power? How much control do politicians have over policy-making? Have we entered the 'winter' of democracy? Democracy in Crisis? provides an original and systematic assessment of the contemporary trends in democratic politics, such as citizen disaffection, the internationalization of policymaking, changes in governance and administrative reform, and the increasing separation between the arenas of politics and policy-making. It assesses the central challenges today's democracies face and considers the implications of each challenge for the health of democratic systems. Engagingly written, this book gives a comprehensive picture of the state of democratic practice. Book jacket.
