Disruptive Democracy :
Bloom, Peter.
Disruptive Democracy : the clash between techno populism and techno democracy - London Sage 2019 - 86
Do new “smart” technologies such as AI, robotics, social media, and automation threaten to disrupt our society? Or does technological innovation hold the potential to transform our democracies and civic societies, creating ones that are more egalitarian and accountable?
Disruptive Democracy explores these questions and examines how technology has the power to reshape our civic participation, our economic and political governance, and our entire existence. In this innovative study, the authors use international examples such as Trump’s America, and Bolsonaro’s recent election as President of Brazil, to lead the discussion on perhaps the most profound political struggle of the 21st century, the coming clash between a progressive “Techno-democracy” and a regressive “Techno-populism”.
A highly innovative, original and influential study, Disruptive Democracy explores these questions and leads the discussion on perhaps the most profound political struggle of the 21st century, the coming clash between a progressive Techno democracy' and a regressive Techno-populism'. Written for both an academic and general audience, this book examines how technology has the power to reshape our civic participation, our economic and political governance, our entire existence. A fascinating read for a wide range of disciplines, spanning from sociology to political science, international relations, critical management studies and public administration.
