Description
Democracy for a Sustainable World examines how democratic institutions can be redesigned to tackle the pressing environmental challenges of our time. James Bacchus draws parallels between the democratic assembly of ancient Athens—the Pnyx—and contemporary governance structures, arguing that direct citizen participation is essential for creating sustainable policies.
The book explores how traditional democratic models have failed to adequately address climate change and environmental degradation, and proposes innovative solutions that balance individual rights with collective environmental responsibility. Bacchus contends that achieving sustainability requires not just policy changes, but a fundamental reimagining of how democracies make decisions and engage their citizens in shaping their environmental future.
