After the decline of structural and ideological foundations of Western democracies, a radical shift from collective to individual actors and institutions has occurred in several political systems. On the one hand, political leaders have gained centrality on the democratic scene as a consequence of both a more direct, sometimes plebiscitary, relationship with citizens, and a more direct control of the executive administration. On the other hand, a process of fragmentation occurs at the mass level, where electoral volatility has strongly increased and the spread of social media enables each citizen to express their convictions in the self-referential autonomy of the digital networks. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMonocratic Government: The Impact of Personalisation on Democratic Regimes\u003c\/em\u003e analyses the consequences of personalisation of political leaders on democratic government by asking whether it is possible to keep together \u003cem\u003edemos\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ekratos\u003c\/em\u003e in a post-particratic context.
