Drawing on recent theories of interactive governance and political leadership, this book develops a concept of interactive political leadership that aims to capture what political leadership looks like in a society of active, anti-authoritarian, and politically competent citizens.
Interactive Political Leadership is an ambitious work that develops new concepts and theoretical arguments for redefining the study of contemporary political leadership in Western democracies. This makes Eva Sørensen's volume a praiseworthy intellectual effort, one that scholars of representative democratic governance should take seriously.
