ISBN: 0275966321 ISBN-13: 9780275966324 Publisher: Praeger OUR PRICE: $94.05 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: June 2000 Annotation: Drawing on the new physics as the scientific foundation of transformational politics, Becker and Slaton write compellingly about "teledemocracy," "social energy," and "democratic quanta." They outline their quantum political theory in rich detail, demonstrating how we have entered a phase of highly charged, erratic, and sometimes self-contradictory packets of social political energy that appears to occur with a rough regularity but with differing levels of velocity and force. Becker and Slaton explore the current state and future of televoting, electronic town meetings, and other initiatives designed to put the "public" back into public affairs. This book will prove to be a fascinating read for scholars, students, researchers, and policymakers interested in new political paradigms, politics, and public administration. |
