Summary

For two decades, Daniel Cohen has been the driving force behind numerous works on our democracies and their future. This book brings together his most recent work in a series of contributions that combine academic rigor with accessibility.

The authors dissect the reasons behind the crises and, above all, outline the prospects for better democratic functioning at all levels of society and institutions: in their view, this is the key to meeting the challenges of the century.

Readers will travel from innovative voting methods to better express citizens’ preferences, to the new horizons of corporate democracy, from the challenge of parity to the existential issue of climate change.

With contributions from: Philippe Askenazy, Thomas Breda, Fanny Henriet, Jean-François Laslier, Quentin Lippmann, Thomas Renault, Katheline Schubert, Claudia Senik.
