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.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45033825992855,"sku":"9780300245967","price":2058.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300245967.webp?v=1767633689","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/after-democracy-imagining-our-political-future-9780300245967","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
