After demonstrating how the French Fourth Republic failed, wherein Singapore’s totalitarianism is a dangerous model, Washington is enmeshed in gridlock, and there is a global democracy deficit, solutions are offered to revitalize democracy as the best form of government. The book demonstrates how mass society politics operates, with intermediate institutions of civil society (media, pressure groups, political parties) no longer transmitting the will of the people to government but instead are concerned with corporate interests and have developed oligarchical mindsets. Rather than micro-remedy bandaids, the author focuses on the need to transform governing philosophies from pragmatic to humanistic solutions. . | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Democracy; Mass society; Democratic failure; Democratic theory; The French Republic; Globalization; Global | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-74070-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-08912-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-74070-6 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019 |
