The Age of Counter-Democracy
Jakub Napoleon Gajdziński
Abstract
The study is an analysis of the counter-democracy nature and phenomena, Author tries to show why it’s so present in our reality and what new challenges it makes us face. He claims, the most important question is the one about the democracy falling and counter-democracy rising. Why the counter-democracy seems to replace traditional model? Why people seems to look for urgently a new form of organization, political activity and control? Are the mechanism of liberal democracy no longer valid, unable to face the challenges of our reality? Or maybe people no longer trust the formal ways? Does the counter-democracy sunrise mean the sunset of liberal democracy model known today or they may coexist?
