Design affects all social contexts and is therefore intensively instrumentalized both by the politically powerful and their critics. Both functions of design, and their inevitable combination, are presented in this book in precise detail.

Authors from various countries present previously unknown and innovative examples of democratic activities conducted through design. This publication is therefore aimed not only at design professionals but also at the general public of all countries.

Industry Reviews

"Den unterschiedlichen Beitragen [...] liegt dabei eine gemeinsame Auffassung von Design zugrunde: Design dient als Hilfsmittel fur sozialen Wandel, wird durch Aktivismus gelebt und erlebbar gemacht. [...] Die eingefuhrte Wortneuschoepfung 'Desocracy' verdeutlicht die Forderung nach einer starkeren Zusammenarbeit zwischen stadtischer und regionaler Planung, nicht-profitorientierten Unternehmen, NGOs und Aktivist: innen." (Janine Heinz, in Pro Zukunft. Buchmagazim fur zukunftweisende Debatten, 2021/4)

"Autorinnen und Autoren aus verschiedenen Landern stellen bislang nicht bekannte und innovative Beispiele demokratischer Aktivitaten durch das Design dar. Diese Publikation richtet sich deshalb nicht nur an Fachleute des Designs, sondern auch an ein allgemeines Publikum in allen Landern."
