      abstract = {This book is explicitly modernist at a time when many  scholars have either forgotten the emancipatory promise of  the Enlightenment or railed against it in the name of  postmodernism. The book, broadly, adopts a hybrid  epistemology that utilises the critical insights of  Geisteswissenschaften Tradition (Weberian Ideal-Type  Analysis) and the Habermas (1988) notions of the public  sphere and deliberative/dialogic democracy (ideal speech)  to advance a general proposition of democratic renewal by  way of cyberdemocracy. Curiously, as democracy spreads  across the world in the age of globalisation, it has also  been accompanied by increased discontent with democratic  systems. To that end, this book is not overly concerned  with saving democracy beyond the liberal representative  model, rather the focus is on how modern representative  democracy has failed and how cyberdemocracy might function  as a more effective model that truly represents the people  by broadening participation and reflexive deliberation.  Harem Karem has recently obtained his Ph.D. in the United  Kingdom. He is currently the executive director of a  national NGO that focuses on research, training, and media.  Formerly, Harem worked as a journalist covering the Middle  East and worked as a researcher with a particular focus on  democracy and elections. .},
