Dramatic, frank and full of insights: a memoir that shows us how we can, and must, re-think the world, from the initiator of the pioneering global website openDemocracy.
From Anthony Barnett, the creator and former editor-in-chief of openDemocracy, comes this startling political memoir about the first two decades of the twenty-first century.
Beginning with 9/11 and running up to the COVID-19 pandemic, Adventures in Open Democracy witnesses the major political events of this period, from globalisation and the war on terror to the implosion of the British state and Trump. 
Like a detective story of a search for who throttled democracy, as well as the usual villains it recounts how opponents of the way the world is being screwed fail time and again to get their act together, offering new and effective ways to envision and enact a better society by allying science, human rights and democratic participation. 
Part memoir, part political theory, and part history of the twenty-first century, Adventures in Open Democracy shows us how we can, and must, rethink the world.
