The Condition of Democracy: Volumes 1,2,3

Editat de Jürgen Mackert, Hannah Wolf, Bryan S. Turner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 ian 2023
Recent years have seen contestations of democracy all around the globe. Democracy is challenged as a political as well as a normative term, and as a form of governance. Against the background of neoliberal transformation, populist mobilization, and xenophobic exclusion, but also of radical and emancipatory democratic projects, this collection offers a variety of critical and challenging perspectives on the condition of democracy in the 21st Century.


The volumes provide theoretical and empirical enquiries into the meaning and practice of liberal democracy, the erosion of democratic institutions, and the consequences for citizenship and everyday lives. With a pronounced focus on national and transnational politics and processes, as well as postcolonial and settler-colonial contexts, individual contributions scrutinize the role of democratic societies, ideals, and ideologies of liberal democracy within global power geometries. By employing the multiple meanings of The Condition of Democracy, the collection addresses the preconditions of democratic rule, the state this form of governance is in, and the changing ways in which citizens can (still) act as the sovereign in liberal democratic societies.


The books offer both challenging theoretical perspectives and rigorous empirical findings of how to conceive of democracy in our times, which will appeal to academics and students in social and political science, economics and international relations amongst other fields. The focus on developments in the Middle East and North Africa will furthermore be of great usefulness to academics and the wider public interested in the repercussions of western democracy promotion as well as in contemporary struggles for democratization ‘from below’.

Recenzii

"This excellent 3-volume set is very timely as well as innovative. It is timely because democracy is being challenged today all over the world. in practice as well as in ideas. It is innovative in its choice of topics, such as democracy in the digital age, stateless democracy, and much more. Good ideas are backed up by solid empirical research. All in all, a very welcome addition to the literature on democracy as well as useful tool for students, researchers and everyone concerned about the state of democracy."
Richard Swedberg, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Cornell University
"This very impressive trilogy is a major contribution to the literature, tracing the wide variety of current threats to democracy across the world and also exploring many of its internal tensions and contradictions. As well as waves of democracy, we now have to think also in terms of tsunamis threatening it, and also of the dangers of internal stagnation and turbulence."
William Outhwaite, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Newcastle University
