Keane treats this development with a sort of sceptic pragmatism.…”

“…Al mismo tiempo, Keane defiende que los actuales índices de desafección ciudadana hacia las elecciones y hacia los partidos políticos (Alonso, 2014), no son síntomas de decadencia democrática (Crouch, 2003), sino una prueba más de la puesta en marcha de esta transformación en curso (Tormey, 2015;Powell, 2015).…”
