In a world where algorithms influence elections and global corporations redraw boundaries of power, The Eclipse of Democracy offers an indispensable map for navigating the most profound transformation of our time: the silent obscuration of popular sovereignty by transnational corporate power.

This is not just another book about democratic crisis. It is a meticulous, multidimensional investigation that unravels the invisible mechanisms by which power migrates from parliaments to corporate boardrooms, revealing both the diagnosis and the paths of resistance and renewal.

The book maps essential territories:

  • The new geography of global power and the deterritorialization of authority
  • Sophisticated regulatory and institutional capture mechanisms
  • Surveillance capitalism and the emergence of psychopower as a new frontier of control
  • Algorithmic manipulation technologies and their impact on public spheres
  • The silent privatization of governance and sovereignty
  • Global experiences of resistance and democratic reconstruction
By reading this book, you:
  • You will understand the hidden patterns that connect apparently isolated phenomena
  • Develop analytical tools to decipher ongoing transformations
  • Identify vulnerabilities and points of intervention in power systems
  • You will discover concrete alternatives and promising experiences of democratic renewal
  • It will connect your local expertise to the global dynamics that shape our political horizon
  • Participate in an essential dialogue on the future of collective self-determination
This book is indispensable for:
  • Political scientists and scholars seeking new analytical frameworks
  • Policymakers and public managers navigating regulatory complexities
  • Journalists and communicators mapping societal transformations
  • Activists and engaged citizens building effective resistances
  • Tech professionals reflecting on the ethical implications of their work
  • Educators training the next generations for democratic challenges
What makes The Eclipse of Democracy unique is not only its penetrating diagnosis, but its refusal to succumb to fatalism. In each chapter, while we unveil the mechanisms of democratic erosion, we also illuminate emerging counter-tendencies and fissures in the regimes of power that open up possibilities for reconstruction.

From Europe to Latin America, from international courts to open-source communities, from transnational regulations to local experiences of participatory democracy, a new map of possible resistances emerges, offering not only hope but practical roadmaps for action.

The Eclipse of Democracy is part of the You Better collection, indispensable works to decipher the fundamental transformations of our time with depth and nuance. It is not just a book for understanding the present, but an essential compass for navigating - and shaping - the future.
