ABSTRACT
This concluding chapter provides an aggregate perspective on the elemental importance of the information game in terms of the strategic differentiation between ‘democracy-as-promised’ and ‘democracy-as-practised’. It takes a hard look at both the rulers who suffer from the hidden fear of the radical potential of democracy and strategise dilution of the same. It also draws attention to the limitations of ‘people power’, as manifested in popular protests, to be an effective counterpoint. It signs off with the observation that the information game ensures the ongoing journey of democracy with no guarantee of arrival.
