Griffith Review 24: Participation Society

This is not a moment for despair. Participation, openness, collaboration, innovation, sustainability and social capital are the new buzz words. New forms of participation learn from the past, and range from cyber-activism and micro-loans to a fundamental rethink of the nature of democracy in an information-rich world. An outstanding collection of writers conjure new models to shape the future and make business as usual a thing of the past.
