Reclaim Democracy: Die Demokratie steht auf dem Prüfstand. Ihre tiefgreifende Krise hat nicht erst mit dem Aufstieg von autoritären und rechtsnationalistischen Strömungen begonnen. Sie wird auch durch die Macht der globalen Konzerne, der Banken und der neoliberalen Politik unterminiert. Es reicht deshalb auch nicht aus, bestehende demokratische Rechte und Institutionen zu verteidigen - so notwendig dies auch ist. Demokratie kann vielmehr nur dann Bestand haben, wenn sie weiterentwickelt und gestärkt wird. Die Menschen müssen die gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse auf allen staatlichen und lebensweltlichen Ebenen selbst gestalten können, auch in der Wirtschaft und in der Arbeitswelt. Das meinen wir mit Reclaim Democracy.Das Buch versammelt einerseits Beiträge, die im Zusammenhang mit dem Reclaim Democracy-Kongress vom Februar 2017 entstanden sind. Es enthält zudem zahlreiche neue Texte, die sich mit konkreten Stärkungen der Demokratie befassen und die danach fragen, mit welchen politischen Strategien wir Demokratie weiterentwickeln können.

The anticapitalist protests at Seattle and Genoa are dramatic symbols of a growing collective anger about the globalizing power of a few multinational corporations. But there is more to anticapitalism than demonstrations: concepts like participatory democracy and economic solidarity form the heart of alternative but equally compelling visions. Hilary Wainwright, writer and long-time political activist, set out on a quest to find out how people are putting such concepts into practice locally and taking control over public power. Her journey starts at home, in east Manchester, where local community groups are testing Tony Blair's commitment to 'community-led' regeneration by getting involved in the way government money is spent. In Newcastle, she joins a meeting of homecare workers and their clients to challenge the threat of privatization of homecare services in that city. In Los Angeles she talks to the people behind the community-union coalitions that have had major successes in improving the impoverished bus system and in winning a living wage for employees of firms contracted by the city. And in Porto Alegre she discovers the wider democratic potential of the participatory budget, the basis of investment decisions in many Brazilian cities. Local democracy and 'people power', it turns out, provided the foundations for a global alternative, as her visit to the World Social Forum reveals. Wainwright concludes with a set of proposals for turning resistance into lasting institutions of participatory democracy - an embedded bargaining power against corporate and military elites. This, she argues, will require very different kinds of political parties from ones currently alienating voters. Reclaim the State shows that the foundations for new political directions already exist, and provides imaginative and practical tools for building on them.
