Description

This book is one of the first to argue that mass protest movements in various countries, such as Greece, Argentina, and the United States, share a common agenda - to question what democracy means. These horizontal movements, including Occupy, exercise and claim participatory democracy as the basis for revolutionary social change today. Written by two international activist intellectuals and based on extensive interviews with participants in movements in Spain, Venezuela, Japan, the United States, and elsewhere, this book offers one of the most comprehensive depictions of assemblies, direct democracy forums, and organizational forms promoted by new movements, as well as an analytical history of direct and participatory democracy from ancient Athens to Athens today. The new movements present the idea that liberal democracy is not democratic, nor has it ever been.
