The majorconflicts between the Global North and the South can be expected toresult from the confrontation of alternative conceptions of democracy,mainly between liberal or representative democracy and participatorydemocracy.
The hegemonic model of democracy, while prevailing on aglobal scale, guarantees no more than low-intensity democracy.

In thiscollection of reports from the Global SouthβIndia, South Africa,Mozambique, Colombia, and BrazilβDe Sousa Santos and his colleaguesshow how, in some cases, the deepening of democracy results from thedevelopment of dual forms of participatory and representativedemocracy, and points to the emergence of transnational networks ofparticipatory democracy initiatives. Such networks pave one of the waysto the reinvention of social emancipation.
This is volume 1 of theReinventing Social Emancipationproject, edited by Boaventura de Sousa Santos.
