Spanish society has shown itself to be enormously participatory at specific moments, but it has many problems in creating networks and accumulating the social capital to sustain demands and protests. Our political system, moreover, does not facilitate participation either, but rather discourages it. However, institutional disaffection is not equivalent to political detachment. Many authors are asking themselves how democracies die; others are trying to think how to save them. This book shows us where the paths of participation in the global world can go and what new paths are being drawn. We are convinced that in order to save democracy we need more democracy, and this requires a better and different kind of citizen participation that optimizes the technological revolution of our times and maintains its vindictive pulse in the streets. Seventh title of the cultural series «More Democracy», which offers rigorous analysis and incisive reflections on current political issues such as corruption, the electoral system or party financing, in order to contribute to the enrichment of democratic culture.
