About the Book
In Richard Swift’s How Democratic Is Democracy?, the state of modern democracy is critically examined. This paperback edition, published by Rawat Publications, explores the challenges democracy faces today, particularly how it has been constrained and manipulated by economic power-brokers and a self-serving political class. From Birmingham to Bangalore, Swift argues that a sterile global consensus—comprising technocrats, neoliberals, and spin-doctors—has hijacked the hopes for a truly democratic future.
This book takes an in-depth look at the democratic malaise afflicting societies worldwide, offering insights into how democracy is being distorted by powerful elites. It provides a comprehensive guide to various forms of elected government and offers practical solutions for empowering voters globally. Through chapters like Eco-democracy, Democratizing the Economy, and Democratic Malaise, Swift presents a rich analysis of democracy’s current state and its future potential.
Richard Swift, co-editor of New Internationalist magazine, brings his expertise and experience in ecology and democracy to this important work. Based in Toronto, Swift’s deep understanding of democratic systems and his commitment to social change shine through in this engaging and thought-provoking book.
