Sinopse

Democracy: Ancient Origins traces democracy's path from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its modern forms, exploring how core principles like voting systems and political equality have evolved. The book examines the successes and failures of past democratic experiments, offering insights into present-day strengths and weaknesses.

 
Did you know Athenian democracy utilized ostracism to prevent tyranny? Or that the Roman Republic contributed significantly to the concept of representative government?

 
This historical analysis emphasizes the constant adaptation of democratic ideals in response to changing social, economic, and political contexts. It navigates inherent tensions between popular will and minority rights, individual liberty and collective responsibility.

 
Beginning with direct democracy in Athens, the book progresses through the Roman Republic, the Enlightenment, and revolutionary movements. By providing a chronological account of democracy's evolution, drawing from historical sources and contemporary scholarship, the book offers a balanced view of different democratic experiments.

 
It sheds light on the challenges facing contemporary democracies, such as declining voter turnout and political polarization, making it valuable to anyone interested in understanding democracy's history and future.

    Illicit digital activity is a substantial and growing problem. Extremists' use of social media over the past decade or so has raised increasing concern among governments and media corporations alike. In Digital Grooming Nuria Lorenzo-Dus analyzes manipulation practices in digital spaces that are situated at, or beyond, the boundaries of law. Lorenzo-Dus identifies and examines in detail the online discourse of adults luring children for sexual abuse and exploitation (digital sexual grooming); extreme ideology groups aligning others to their views (digital ideological grooming); and drug dealers soliciting business in crypto markets (digital commercial grooming). With sophisticated style and stance analyses of large and varied datasets, the book reveals that digital sexual, ideological, and commercial grooming practices have much in common. Three stances—expertise, openness, and avidity—scaffold this manipulative work, which constructs groomers and their targets as sharing a homogenous identity. 
     
     
     
    By shedding new light on grooming practices, this book provides a key resource for discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, communication, and media studies, as well as for practitioners aiming to counter online grooming through policy changes, detection software, and prevention-focused training to promote digital civility and safety.
