Communication in politics--Technological innovatio

Description

Successful democracies throughout history - from ancient Athens to Britain on the cusp of the industrial age - have used the technology of their time to gather information for better governance. Our challenge is no different today, but it is more urgent because the accelerating pace of technological change creates potentially enormous dangers as well as benefits. 'Accelerating Democracy' shows how to adapt democracy to new information technologies that can enhance political decision making and enable us to navigate the social rapids ahead.
