Mending democracies, patching societies

When our democracies are broken, we need to ‘fix’ our societies. There are no quick fixes, but the good news is that society is resilient and people will make new connections. We need to look better for those ‘small democratic wins’ and learn from them to improve our democratic systems. This seems to be the core message of the book ‘Mending Democracies’, that sits within a critical pragmatist approach and starts from the analysis of democratic deficits to offer new language and insights to understand societal resilience to repair institutional wrong-doings.
