Three innovative models of governance - direct democracy, deliberative democracy and technocracy - have emerged to complement our traditional representative model of democratic politics. The result is profound; reshaping how citizens interact with and influence their governments.

Practices of Democracy: An Introduction is the first comparative politics textbook to offer an engaging introduction to these different forms of democracy. With an in-depth yet accessible exploration of four models of democracy - representative, direct, deliberative and technocratic models of government - this book shows how democracy can be strengthened and saved in times of crisis.

Packed with case studies and features, this textbook is essential reading for anyone studying democracies, democratic innovations and Comparative Politics, whether at the undergraduate or postgraduate level.
