Debate on the Democracy of the Future, in the Digital Era (from Theory to Practice)

ABSTRACT : This article addresses the Democracy of the Future in a context of dynamic change in the reality of people’s lives in the Digital Age. Democracy is a political regime in which all citizens in the enjoyment of their political rights also participate — directly or through elected representatives — in choosing the model of governance for the country and or region, in its development and in the creation of laws, exercising the power of governance through universal suffrage . It covers the social, economic and cultural conditions that allow the exercise of power, free and equal to political self-determination. Effective and efficient political leadership in representative democracy poses new challenges to political powers. Traditional theoretical and practical political leadership needs a new systematic approach to seeking a holistic vision for the constant improvement of meeting the social and economic needs of populations. The greatest challenge that theory and practice face is the identification of effective instruments for democracy of the future and deliberative practices so that the decisions taken are considered rational, transparent, legitimate, in Freedom and protect the human rights of all citizens and that they feel respected, represented and committed to their implementation.
