A ConclusionReviews'Very few authors can rival Donatella della Porta's ability to present - in so few pages - such a broad but accurate sweep of developments in contemporary political ideas about democracy. She moves remarkably easily between exposition of classical debates in political thought and empirical research on current new forms of protest.' Colin Crouch, University of Warwick 'The search for a viable conception of democracy has for decades centered on procedural criteria. Rejecting this monism, and drawing on theorists like Habermas, Held, and Pateman, as well as on her own empirical work on social movements, della Porta masterfully proposes and illustrates a fourfold typology of democratic theory - and of democracies - that challenges the canon and opens a debate to compare representational, participatory, and deliberative models of democracy.' Sidney Tarrow, Cornell University, author of Power in Movement 'Given the current ailments of capitalist democracies, we all might be inclined to exclaim: That is a good question! As an answer, the author provides readers with both a nearly comprehensive inventory of causes for concern as well as her spirited and informative analysis of protest politics, the role of new media, and the potential of new democratic ambitions that are both participatory and deliberative. An overall optimistic message from one of the leading social science experts on movement politics.' Claus Offe, Hertie School of Governance, Berlin Author InformationDonatella della Porta is professor of sociology at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. In 2011, she was the recipient of the Mattei Dogan Prize for distinguished achievements in the field of political sociology. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
