I've always thought it was a very optimistic, if not hubristic term.

Democracy is under massive threat by both the instability brought about 
by the inevitable globalisation of the economy, and by the strength of 
its corporate handmaidens.

I reckon we are faced with a contradictory need, both to adapt to the 
process of globalisation, while strengthening our local (every level up 
to national/regional) democratic practices as a means of challenging the 
anti-democratic methods of the trans-national corporations.
