Representative democratic systems seem to be following
divergent trends in recent times. On the one hand, there are certain
signs of decline such as the fall in voter turnout or the increased
distance between politicians and citizens. On the other hand, on
occasions the public seems to be acquiring a greater political role as
a result of a new media landscape that offers new opportunities for
political participation. These trends have led to different interpretations
of the present situation of democracy: one pointing to the decline
of democracy and the other to a democratic transformation; two
contrasting ways of understanding the present that challenge us to
ask which of the two comes closest to providing an accurate picture of
the architecture of democracy today. This paper will attempt to resolve
this question by paying particular attention to the role of the new media
galaxy in promoting new forms of citizens’ participation. [-]
