In his focus on the concept of "rationalising democracy", Suthan Krishnarajan reminds us of Laurence Whitehead's encouragement that every use of the word "democracy" is worth examining.

For example, I recently ran into the term "silver democracy" which was used in the context of an ageing Japanese society.
