Futures of democracy

Futures of Democracy discusses democratic theory in a future-oriented way. It develops a different - democratic, if you like - format for academic writing on this subject. Comments and discussion have been integrated in the margins of the book's essays and dialogues, inviting you to critically engage with its contents.

Who are 'the people' in democracy? How should power be exercised in democracy? How to democratize transnational regimes? Are Islam and democracy mutually exclusive? How to reconcile taking long term decisions for the common good with short term individual preferences? These and other questions are addressed by authors from varying academic disciplines.
