Cognitive Mobilization and Reflexive Modernization: Deriving the Theory of Hyperdemocracy -- 6. The Decline of Democracy: Social Capital and Post-Democracy versus Hyperdemocracy -- 7.

Symptoms of Hyperdemocracy (II): The Media -- 10. Conclusion: The Place and the Trajectory of Hyperdemocracy.

"What is the future of democracy? Is it steadily improving in scope, depth, and accountability? Or is it being marginalized by economic forces? Or - in a view not very often heard - has it already progressed too far? This book argues that none of these assessments is right, and instead that democracy is becoming 'hyper.' An increasingly well-educated citizenry and freer flow of information contribute to the intensification of democracy, but at the same time begin to impede decision-making by contesting more and more of the cognitive preconditions that decision-making rests upon. Under hyperdemocracy, democracy begins to undermine itself. This book applies the idea of 'reflexive modernization' to democratic theory, setting out a new perspective on the challenges democracy faces"--
