The present work stems from the thesis that the liberal political model is in the irreversible crisis of representation and participation. Political organization is weakened by low electoral participation and the wave of populism. In order to understand the existing social formation and its current state, this Master's degree aims to examine the reasons for the situation and offer further assistance in understanding the development of democracy. In order to achieve its goal, the work begins its thinking process with a historical description of the most important democratic social turns. It complements the historical foundations with the concepts of postdemocracy, which confirm the thesis about the emptied democratic structures. The postdemocratic situation is rounded up by the concepts of the monitory democracy, which for its existence needs a great deal of representation and benefits greatly from digitization. In the final part, the master's degree focuses on new technological innovations and the Internet, considering whether they can introduce an answer to existing political issues.
