Democracy and Globalization: Anger, Fear, and Hope
Autor Josep M. Colomer, Ashley L. Bealeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iul 2020
Part 1 analyzes the split of the middle class and the subsequent political polarization which underlies people’s dissatisfaction with the way democracy works in developed countries. It also addresses the role of political emotions, including disappointments about unmet expectations, anger incited from opposition candidates, fear induced from government, and hope wrapping up new proposals for reform and change. In Part 2, the authors argue that a more effective governance would require reallocations of power at local, national, continental and global levels with innovative combinations of direct democracy, representative government, and rule by experts.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, comparative politics, international relations, political economy and democratic theory, as well as general readers interested in politics and current events.

Recenzii
"This is an enormously impressive update on what we need to know about democracy. Excellent analysis of democracy's many problems, but also a welcome outline of why we can have hope for a better global future. Really fascinating, insightful, and inspiring." — Arend Lijphart, former President of the American Political Science Association
"Extremely timely and relevant, and likely to remain so. Exceptionally accessible and active for a scholarly book; it is the kind of book which could also have appeal beyond the academic world."— Benjamin Reilly, University of Western Australia, Australia
"A quite unusual global coverage. Particularly appreciated is the inclusion of India, incredibly misconsidered in many international comparative works on democracy. The style is very clear and appealing for a wide audience beyond the academic circle."— Piero Ignazi, University of Bologna, Italy
"This is a much-needed introduction to world affairs, one that ably combines themes in comparative and international politics in a thought-provoking way."— Alfred G. Cuzán, The University of West Florida, U.S.A
