Reconstructing Democracy

Today’s democracies suffer from two mutually reinforcing ills: declining problem-solving capacities and a growing disconnect between the people and political elites. Reconstructing Democracy offers case studies in citizen efficacy, showing how people can solve problems locally and thereby quell the frustrations that demagogues prey on.

Democratiile de astazi sufera de doua boli care se consolideaza reciproc: scaderea capacitatilor de rezolvare a problemelor si o deconectare crescanda intre oameni si elite politice. Reconstructing Democracy ofera studii de caz in ceea ce priveste eficacitatea cetatenilor, aratand cum oamenii pot rezolva problemele la nivel local si astfel pot inabusi frustrarile pe care le prada demagogii.
