Ny bok Martin Sande – from arrogance to intimacy
“We have a problem. Our democracy is broken, we distrust politicians, despair at the rise of bureaucracy and we feel ignored. In ’From arrogance to intimacy – a handbook for active democracies’ we want to challenge you to improve how our representatives are chosen, policy is made, budgets allocated and services delivered. And to do this we need to rebuild democracy so it becomes inviting and inclusive or, as we call it, intimate.
Our governments often don’t reflect the communities that they are supposed to serve, they have become arrogant and controlling. Many of us are starting to question this misuse of power. We’re voting for ’none of the above’ and turned off from traditional political parties…
If we become active citizens, things can change. We believe that it’s time to see society as a network and democratic actions happening right across it…
Our new book explores the historical problems, then provides a framework for change and the tools to start creating that change where we live, for ourselves. We’ve devoted a section of the book to digital tools but make it clear that digital is not a silver bullet when it’s the process that’s broken: what’s wrong with democracy can’t be fixed with a new app.”
Martin Sande driver Co-Lab på Preera och har skrivit boken ”From arrogance to intimacy – a handbook for active democracies” tillsammans med Andy Williamson.
