Our democracies are failing to prevent financial crises, energy shortages, climate change, and war, so how can we look to the future with confidence? Jan Zielonka argues that democracy's shortsightedness makes politics stumble in our increasingly connected world. With our governments still confined to the borders of nation-states, defending the short-term interests of present-day voters, the consequences for future generations are dire. In this incisive account, Zielonka makes a bold case for a new politics of time and space. He considers how democracy should adjust to the world of high speed and questions our everyday experiences as citizens: Is it acceptable for authorities and firms to monitor our whereabouts? Why is the distribution of time and space so unequal? And, most crucially, can we construct a new system of governance that will allow us to plan ahead with certainty?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe future appears to be increasingly uncertain.
