A chapter in Public Opinion Polling in a Globalized World, 2008, pp 13-23 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is based on the broad principle that democracy is “rule by the will of the majority”, a very slow changing concept, which is now confronted by a very fast changing, globalising world. It is shown how public opinion polling has developed as a part of the globalisation process and contributes to the democratic process. The article concludes that the concept and perception of democracy is challenged by globalisation and we need to reconsider how democracy should function in the globalised village.
