GLOBArt Academy 2009 / Demokratie neu erfinden (Reinventing Democracy)

What many consider a desirable good is, for others, taken for granted or even unimportant: democracy. Since Barack Obama's election campaign and its successful Web 2.0 approach at the latest, campaigners and strategists have been considering new forms of democracy. The masses move online – but who sets the pace? And with what intention? In the future, politicians' success may no longer depend on how many important people they know, but on how powerful their networks are. The publication spans a wide arc from the development of democracy to new, contemporary forms of engagement and participation, from the connection between democracy and global financial markets to the question: how much democracy is there in religions?
