Book ID/图书代码： 00530014B75986
English Summary/英文概要： Unless you are a banker, by now you must have realized that politicians don’t serve your interests. Our democracies are failing us and, from Occupy Wall Street to the riots in São Paulo, millions have taken to the streets to voice their frustration. But is there anything we can do about it?
Rebooting Democracy: A Citizen’s Guide to Reinventing Politics takes readers on a global journey in search of solutions. From Vancouver to Saint Petersburg, from France to Australia, we discover that there are sensible ways to reform our democracies. As we travel the globe and zoom in on these real-world democratic breakthroughs, we also pick up insights from the social sciences—from key ideas in political science, sociology and economics to the latest research in social and cognitive psychology—that clarify why elected politicians will always fail to represent us.
In a concise and engaging way, this book shows why the problems we are facing arise from inescapable, structural aspects of our political systems—and invites readers to explore five concrete, innovative ideas to help repair them.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你现在一定已经意识到政治家们并没有维护你的的利益，除非你是个银行家。我们的民主制度令人民失望。从“占领华尔街运动”到圣保罗暴乱事件，成千上万的公民走上街头，表达他们对民主政治的失望。但是，我们可以做些什么去解决问题呢？
《政治改革：公民重塑政治的指南》带领读者环游世界，寻求解决问题的方法。从温哥华到圣彼得堡，从法国到澳大利亚，我们发现了改革民主制度的合理方法。当我们了解世界各地的政治体制，并聚焦于现实世界中的民主突破时，我们也了解到一些有关于社会科学的观点，包括政治学、社会学和经济学的核心思想以及社会心理学和认知心理学的最新研究成果，这些观点让我们明白为何我们选举出来的政治家总是不能代表人民的利益。
本书以简洁生动地解释了为何我们所面临的问题产生于政治体系中无法逃避的结构性方面。本书邀请读者共同探究五种修复政体的具体而又具有创新性的方法。（LNL）
