How do we re-invigorate institutions essential for the success of democracy such as political parties and free media? Can we re-empower citizens while also preserving a place for experts? How can we ensure the future dynamism and creativity of democracies? These are some of the urgent questions addressed in Jan-Werner Müller’s much anticipated new book Democracy Rules.
