Politics in mass democracies: destined to disappoint?

Politics in mass democracies: destined to disappoint?
Politics in mass democracies: destined to disappoint?
Mass democracies face a potential crisis because of the scale of discontent surrounding the political process. Discontent comes in two main forms: disengagement from politics and frustrated activism. If the twentieth century saw the establishment of mass democracy, the scale of discontent surrounding the political process in these democracies runs the risk of making these systems unsustainable in the twenty-first century.

If the twentieth century saw the establishment of mass democracy, the scale of discontent surrounding the political process in these democracies runs the risk of making these systems unsustainable in the twenty-first century.
