Andersson challenges the role of scientists and expertise in policy making as well as the idea of deliberative democracy. The integrity of science, politics and journalism is dissolving - market conditions are in play and as a result we have a market democracy. Andersson finds evidence of this in areas such as biotechnology, nanotechnologies, radioactive waste management and global warming.Furthermore, branches of journalism are explored and found not to meet reasonable demands for transparency. The idea of public participation in decision-making, having been launched as a way to restore trust, has become just another area in the market where different processes of participation are being launchedand promoted. Instead, Andersson proposes an awareness principle as anintegral part ofthe representative political system. He then suggestsa practical framework for the creation of arenasthat can set the principle into practice. This is done with a unique holistic approach integrating the societal problems of technologies with models of democracy, b3 sscience and society b4 s and journalism.
