Recent years have seen constant reports on the failures of governance and the crisis of democracy. By examining cases like Global Financial Crisis, the Arab Revolutions and Wikileaks this volume highlights tensions between governance and democracy during times of crisis and examines the prospects of democratising governance in the 21st Century.Recent years have seen near constant reports on the failures of governance and the crisis of democracy. The critical nexus between the ever-increasing array of crises that modern representative democracies face and the widening reliance on an array of undemocratic governance mechanisms and networks to meet and manage these crises needs urgent and in-depth scholarly attention. This book therefore seeks to investigate the ways in which representative democracy might better handle environmental, political, social and economic crises in the twenty-first century by making the mechanisms of governance more democratic. By examining cases such as the global financial crisis, the arab revolutions, Wikileaks and climate change, this volume highlights the tensions between governance and democracy during times of crisis and examines the prospects of democratising governance in the twenty-first century and beyond.

520 1 $a Viewing crises as opportunities to democratize governance, this volume offers a refreshing contribution to the debates on governance and democracy, theoretically as well as empirically. Rather than attempting a substantial definition of governance, the contributors are joined by the more pragmatic approach of decentering governance and of situating governance contextually. By doing so, the edition offers a new take through analyses of contemporary phenomena such as the global financial crisis, the Occupy and Wikileaks movements, the Arab revolutions, or global environmental governance. Well organized and well written, this book will be useful to newcomers as well as seasoned scholars in the field. Anne Mette Kjaer, Department of Political Science, Aarhus University, Denmark 'This volume assembles an impressive range of scholars to address the problems of democratic governance emerging in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis. Significantly, they show that the GFC and other contemporary crises highlight problems inherent to the complex relationship of democracy and governance and which therefore resist simple solutions.' Adrian Little, Professor of Political Theory, University of Melbourne, Australia.
