What if it's not? Perhaps it is not the end goal but, rather, a transition stage to something better. Drawing on original interviews conducted with citizens of more than thirty countries, Zizi Papacharissi explores what democracy is, what it means to be a citizen, and what can be done to enhance governance.0 As she probes the ways governments can better serve their citizens and evolve in positive ways, Papacharissi gives a voice to everyday people, whose ideas and experiences of capitalism, media, and education can help shape future governing practices. This book expands on the well-known difficulties of realizing the intimacy of democracy in a global world-the "democratic paradox"-and presents a concrete vision of how communications technologies can be harnessed to implement representative equality, information equality, and civic literacy. 505 0 What If? -- Democracy on the Run -- To Be a Citizen -- Toward the New -- Before Democracy. 650 0 Democracy. |=^A3665 650 0 Representative government and representation. |=^A33424 650 7 Democracy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 Representative government and representation. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01094941 949 |i30372017338077 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s26.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5634391
