WHEN THE STATE RETREATS
Security, Freedom, and the Future of Democracy
What happens when citizens stop believing that institutions can protect them?
What becomes of democracy when public authority slowly retreats from everyday life?
In this thought-provoking work, Corrado De Benedictis explores the gradual erosion of institutional presence and its consequences for security, justice, public trust, and democratic stability.
Covering themes such as law enforcement, bureaucracy, political responsibility, artificial intelligence, civic education, and the future of democratic societies, this book offers a broad reflection on one of the defining challenges of the twenty-first century.
Rather than providing ideological answers, it invites readers to examine the relationship between freedom, responsibility, and the indispensable role of the State in guaranteeing civil coexistence.
Inside the book:
26 analytical chapters
Public security and democratic institutions
Justice, bureaucracy and political responsibility
Artificial intelligence and the future of democracy
Civic education and national resilience
A vision for rebuilding trust between citizens and the State
A compelling analysis for readers interested in politics, democracy, public policy, governance, and the future of free societies.
