Jean-Benoit Pilet is Professor of political science at the Université libre de Bruxelles and member of the CEVIPOL. He has been working on three main topics. The first is elections and electoral systems, with a specific focus on the personalization of electoral systems and on electoral reforms. The second is the transformation of representative democracy, especially looking at the growing impact of direct democracy, deliberative democracy, and technocracy. The third is the role in elected politicians in democracies, and the way they try to connect with citizens. His work has been recently published in some of the top journals in political science, like the American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, the European Journal of Political Research, Political Behavior or the British Journal of Political Science. Jane Suiter is Professor of Political Communication in the School of Communications at Dublin City University and director of DCU′s Institute for Future Media, Democracy and Society. Her research focus is on the information environment in the public sphere and in particular on scaling up deliberation and tackling disinformation. She has been involved in various research and oversight capacities on the Irish Citizens′ Assembly (2012-2022). She was the joint winner of the Brown Democracy Medal in 2019. She published in international peer-reviewed journals including Electoral Studies, International Political Science Review, Political Communication, Political Studies Review, Representation or Science.

A timely and insightful contribution, this book offers a clear and systematic exploration of democracy through representative, direct, deliberative and technocratic models. It provides students, scholars and practitioners with a valuable framework for understanding how democracies really function in the 21st century, and how institutions can be strengthened to deal with new challenges.
