My review of @welpita.bsky.social "the Will of the People" where she analyses the relationship between democracy, participation and populism - bringing a sober look and much needed dose of realism to participation and democratization
🚀 Thrilled to see The Will of the People sparking debate!
📢 A thoughtful review by @adrianbua.bsky.social explores how the book tackles democracy’s paradoxes—from participation’s promises to perversions. @democratization.bsky.social
