	Review of Alain Touraine's What is Democracy?
		For Touraine, democracy is connected to modernity where a rational subject emerges to formulate universal principles, laws, and rights which recognize and preserve the liberty and equality of individual subjects.
		Yet Touraine is a fierce critic of participatory democracy and polemicizes against a multiculturalism that involves the logic of pursuing diversity and difference without seeking a common ground of higher principles and values, or a shared public sphere and polis.
		Touraine does not, however, adequately discuss how the media and media culture help produce subjects, or subject positions, in the contemporary world and besides a couple of brief and superficial pages on television (133-134) does not discuss how the media are transforming politics and undermining democracy, thus ignoring a vast literature on this topic.
