| Publisher Description: Colin Crouch and Jacques Ranciere have coined the concept of post-democracy to articulate the suspicion that aspirations and reality of today's democracies fall apart. Western societies still regard themselves as democratic; they follow democratic constitutions and adhere to democratic procedures, but in fact they are no longer governed by the people but by economic elites. The contributions to this volume will discuss this diagnosis: How viable is it and what are its limits? Is it just a new pessimistic or even apocalyptic discourse or a diagnosis which could be further differentiated? How can we relate the diagnosis to everyday life and to micropolitics? Similarly, if the diagnosis works: With which forms of social exclusion post-democracy will go along? What is its relation to bio-politics? What impact will post-democracy have on subjects and their affects? How does post-democracy correspond to new politics of resentment and right-wing populism? |
