Today my guest is Professor John Keane. &amp;nbsp; John is Professor of Politics at the University of Sydney and at the Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin. He is also the co-founder and director of the Sydney Democracy Network. He is renowned globally for his creative thinking about democracy and is the author of the Life and Death of Democracy&amp;nbsp;as well writing ‘Democracy Field Notes’ for the Conversation. &amp;nbsp; Today I talk with Professor Keane about his book&amp;nbsp;The Life and Death of Democracy and in particular the concept of&amp;nbsp;‘monitory democracy' which he develops in this book based on over 10 years empirical research into the history and practices of democracy.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Thank you for joining me today. In next week’s episode you’ll be hearing from a range of my guests, answering the question ‘if you could change one thing about democracy what would it be?’ I hope you’ll join me then.
