توضیحات
In an age where democratic participation seems to falter, Peter Mair delves into the unsettling trends that threaten the very fabric of Western democracies. He scrutinizes the growing detachment among citizens, evidenced by plummeting electoral turnouts and dwindling party memberships, and raises critical questions about the future of political engagement.
Mair's analysis reveals the complex dynamics at play as traditional institutions grapple with the challenges of modern society. He explores the implications of this democratic disengagement, urging readers to contemplate what it means to live in a hollowed-out democracy. Through thought-provoking insights, he invites a reevaluation of political practices that sustain or undermine the vitality of democratic governance.
