Democracy is established as a generally uncontested ideal, while regimes inspired by this form of government fall under constant criticism. Hence, the steady erosion of confidence in representatives that has become one of the major political issues of our time. Amidst these challenges, the paradox remains that while citizens are less likely to make the trip to the ballot box, the world is far from entering a phase of general political apathy. Demonstrations and activism abound in the streets, in cities across the globe and on the internet. Pierre Rosanvallon analyses the mechanisms used to register a citizen's expression of confidence or distrust, and then focuses on the role that distrust plays in democracy from both a historical and theoretical perspective. This radical shift in perspective uncovers a series of practices - surveillance, prevention, and judgement - through which society corrects and exerts pressure. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

There are some sections in this book where the author tries to build his own theoretical counterpoints and analyze modern politics, but I found them very unfulfilling. He introduces half a dozen new prefixes to the word "democracy", but fails to support these neologisms with enough thought and reason to give them any real meaning. The text comes across as vacuous ostentation and wordplay with little depth. In conclusion this book was useful to me only because it introduced me to many 18th and 19th century French thinkers I hadn't heard of before. The author's strength clearly lies in that subject area.
