Demarchy Manifesto

Discover the revolutionary ideas presented in Demarchy Manifesto by John Burnheim, published by Sydney University Press in 2016. This thought-provoking book, comprising 137 pages, challenges the traditional political landscape by advocating for a system where public policy is crafted by those most impacted by it, rather than by political parties. Burnheim articulates a compelling vision for a more participatory democracy, emphasizing the importance of open discussions and collective decision-making. He provides a clear rationale for this shift and outlines practical steps to implement it without the need for constitutional changes. Ideal for anyone interested in political science and innovative governance, Demarchy Manifesto invites readers to rethink how we engage with politics and empowers citizens to take charge of their future.
