The notion of 'the public sphere' has become increasingly central to
theories and studies of democracy, media, and culture over the last
few decades. It has also gained political importance in the context of
the European Union's efforts to strengthen democracy, integration, and
identity. The Idea of the Public Sphere offers a wide-ranging,
accessible, and easy-to-use introduction to one of the most
influential ideas in modern social and political thought, tracing its
development from the origins of modern democracy in the Eighteenth
Century to present day debates. This book brings key texts by the
leading contributors in the field together in a single volume. It
explores current topics such as the role of religion in public
affairs, the implications of the internet for organizing public
deliberation, and the transnationalisation of public issues.
