Summary
Bernard Crick: Democracy
After the world quickly cooled down from the euphoria of the calendar beginning of the third millennium and realistically faced the fact that the 21st century is only taking over the historical baggage of the 20th century, i.e. after the world faced the fact that humanity is torn apart by old and new political, economic, cultural, spiritual and other contradictions and its multiple crises, the urgent questions of political, economic and cultural transformation of societies and humanity as a whole. Under the compulsion of globalization processes (whose meaning and consequences are by no means unequivocal or comprehensible), this transformation takes place at the basic levels of economic processes and political structures of societies, i.e. their liberal-market and liberal-democratic transformation and unification. In the new political circumstances, after the collapse of the old totalitarian orders from the 20th century, on the world political scene we are witnessing a new distribution of power, on the one hand, and alternative tendencies, on the other hand, in which an attempt is made to form a new political culture based on the principles of liberal political traditions and on the ideas of civil society.
