The term post-democracy was coined by Warwick University political
scientist Colin Crouch in 2000 in his book Coping with Post-Democracy. It
designates states that are conducted by fully operating democratic systems
(elections are being held, governments fall and there is freedom of
speech), but whose application is progressively limited. A small elite is
taking the tough decisions and co-opts the democratic institutions. Crouch
further developed the idea in an article called Is there a liberalism
beyond social democracy?[1] for the think tank Policy Network and in his
subsequent book The Strange Non-Death of Neo-Liberalism.
