Abstract:
Background: The United States symbolizes democracy in the new world and contributes to global prosperity. Nevertheless, incrementalism is a historically dominant national approach to public policy implementation that delays democracy and undermines human dignity. Human flourishing and national development are endangered by slow-moving democratic changes. This necessitates a social justice framework that traces the exploitation of incrementalism and the consequences of opportunity gaps.

Many observers have written with concern about a growing “opposition to gender equality,” “anti‐gender campaigns,” and even a “war on gender.” Often, these trends take place in countries that are witnessing a decline in democratic quality, a process captured by such labels as “democratic erosion,” “democratic backsliding,” or “autocratization.” This thematic issue brings together literature on gender equality and de‐democratization with an emphasis on the role of illiberalism and a regional focus on post‐communist Europe.

Recent elections in the advanced Western democracies have undermined the basic foundations of political systems that had previously beaten back all challenges—from both the Left and the Right. The election of Donald Trump to the US presidency, only months after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, signaled a dramatic shift in the politics of the rich democracies. This book traces the evolution of this shift and argues that it is a long-term result of abandoning the postwar model of egalitarian capitalism in the 1970s.

In contrast to accounts that attribute this rise to the recent policy failures of the political mainstream, this chapter suggests that its roots lie in internal contradictions in the expectations that the parties have raised in the process of cartelization.

Abstract:
AbstractAgainst the background of successful right-wing populist movements in recent years, a question arises as to whether the democratic political culture remains stable in Europe’s democracies. The EVS 2017 confirms that a high level of legitimacy is still attached to democracy, but that there are differences in support for the current democratic system. In Eastern Europe, we find a strong openness to alternative anti-democratic systems, which helps right-wing populists to gain influence and power. Prejudice provides a bridge between right-wing populists and religion. While socially engaged believers are pro-democratic, fundamentalist have an elective affinity with anti-democratic beliefs. Gender identities that do not follow the heteronormative pattern of binary couple relationships in particular prove to be a bridge to right-wing beliefs (Schneider et al., Zeitschrift für Religion, Gesellschaft und Politik (ZRGP) 5(2), 2021). It is possible that the ongoing progress of secularisation and modernisation in Western Europe is conducive to this. The validity of the secularisation theory must be assumed, because the East-Central European states had swung into line with Western European secularisation shortly after an upheaval of religiosity directly after 1989. If in the Russian region and Southeastern Europe the revitalisation process is confirmed, many Eastern European states have now reached the ‘normal’ level they would have had without socialist repression.

Abstract This introductory chapter presents the main puzzle of the book: Why, and under what conditions, do Pakistan’s Islamic political parties decide to enable religiously justified anti-state violence, and what do their decisions mean for the trajectory of political violence in Pakistan? Although Pakistan’s Islamist parties are relatively small and electorally marginal, they wield influence that far outstrips their collective size, in part through their interactions with militant organizations. The chapter explores several reasons why Islamist parties might choose to enable anti-state violence, including ideological sympathy, opposition targeting, and competition management. Seeking to explain the conditions under which Islamist parties might endorse this kind of anti-state violence, the chapter then argues that structural factors—and in particular, a party’s vulnerability to anti-state movements and to the state’s own security services—are more compelling than ideological ones. Following a review of the empirical approach and case selection process, the chapter concludes with a preview of the book’s remaining chapters.

Abstract Chapter 6 assesses one type of social coordination mechanism—an advanced market economy—in terms of the anti-authoritarian ideal set out in chapters 4 and 5. It explains why an advanced market economy is not able to satisfy the requirements of reason sensitivity, transparency, and trustworthiness as a stand-alone mechanism. Moreover, even if a liberal market democracy embeds an advanced market economy in a more complex system, including both regulatory process and legislative process to address other concerns, it remains unable to satisfy the three requirements. This chapter summarizes the arguments of chapters 3–5 and argues that a liberal market democracy must supplement the regulatory process and democratic legislative process with social governance mechanisms that go the rest of the way toward satisfying the three requirements.

Abstract:
This article aims to analyze the relationship between civil disobedience and the insurgent movement in Brazil against vaccination, and whether such an act would be housed by the constitutional guarantees for the defense of the rights of conscientious objectors. To this end, this article analyzes the institute of civil disobedience and how it can be considered a fundamental right inherent in the democratic process of the Democratic State of Law. Subsequently, this research displays a brief historical study about the vaccine revolt in Brazil as well as the contextualization of the contemporary anti-vaccine movement regarding coercive vaccination to reduce the effects of the catastrophic Covid-19 pandemic. The conclusion is that the contemporary anti-vaccine movement is not contextually related to anti-vaccine movements of the past, nor is it identified with an interpretation of the constitutional text that gives legitimacy to the practice of civil disobedience in the case in question, consisting of a purely organic-political movement without any legal or philosophical foundation to legitimize it.

Abstract Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has described himself as a punisher, while scholars describe him as an example of ‘penal populism’. In contrast with his brutal anti-drug campaign, his economic management appears reasonable and even reform-oriented. It argues that the Philippine government has carried out technocratic economic policy reforms under both the democratic Aquino administration and the authoritarian Duterte administration, thanks to the unintended legacy of the populist administration in the 1990s. After the rise and decline of populism in the late 1990s, the socio-economic policymakers addressed the structural problem of underspending on social infrastructure. Regardless of whether leadership is democratic or authoritarian, they introduced a series of reform laws to generate revenue, enhance social well-being, and improve the business environment. Tracing the policy-making process of the reform laws, we conclude the president does not dominate the entire policy-making process. A coalition politics allows various stakeholders to join the porous policy-making process. The Philippines’ odd couple depends not on the president’s popularity but on the technocracy that has evolved independently of the rhythm of presidential politics.

Abstract:
A conscious political erasure of the legacy of socialist revolutions and politics followed the regime changes in Eastern Europe in 1989. The transition moved away from the initial demands for the democratization of socialism, towards capitalism and procedural democracy. In the process, the political experience of the democratic practices of socialism was obscured, as well as the anti-fascist resistance and revolutionary experience of a century-old struggle against authoritarian tendencies and for equality, which was also the driving force of the movement behind the 1989 uprisings.The chapter looks into the case of Yugoslavia and the mechanisms of erasure to argue that a political debt to the socialist past of Europe has been incurred by a deliberate politics of oblivion and discreditation both nationally and supranationally, within the EU institutions. The Yugoslav example is particularly significant given the direct democratic practices it developed despite the bureaucratization of the Communist party in its final decades. The debt thus incurred is however making itself felt in present-day Europe through its political crisis of the so-called democratic deficit and the rising Far Right.

The epilogue explains that the true challenge to secular Zionism in Israel is to respond creatively and in line with democratic principles to the growth and power of the Ultra-Orthodox, most of whom remain steadfastly “non-Zionist” and some virulently anti-Zionist.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that Ukraine’s fluidity as a signifier is critical to the war’s wider consequences. It shows that the outrage at Russia’s actions both hid tensions and exposed fault lines within the liberal order and on occasion triggered the West to project features of its own imperial past onto Russia. This precipitates the fracturing of liberalism into moral universalist, conservative anti-collectivist, progressive-democratic, neoliberal, and identity-focused variants. RT keenly sensed this process, and its suppression across Western media space is rejuvenating its narratives both beyond that space’s margins and, via the spread of Ukraine-related “deep-state” conspiracy theories to alt-right ecosystems, within them. Even as RT disinformation was lambasted by politicians across the liberal democratic spectrum, Putin’s Ukraine narratives gained traction in the Middle East, Latin America, the Indian subcontinent, China, and elsewhere beyond the “unipolar world,” whose supposed decay provides the plotline for one of Russia’s own favored teleologies.

The second chapter explores the making of a ‘justice movement’ called Nyayagrah in the context of an episode of Hindu--Muslim violence in Gujarat, India. The unleashing of unprecedented violence across the state against Muslims is a well- documented occasion of “communal” violence in recent times in India. However, the afterlife that the authors visits here is the making of a justice movement that is currently gaining subterranean ground in the state but has not seen any academic reflection. Following Gandhian principles drawn from the anti-colonial movement, Satyagraha, but reincarnated in current India, Nyayagrah insists on claiming democratic citizenship through the process of legal redress.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses how black essayists worked through and around ideas of freedom to produce new variations of the genre of the essay. The author shows how the African American essay serves as the medium through which authors make crucial political, social, and artistic interventions. At the same time the author is attentive to formal changes in the essay. Through a series of representative examples from authors such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Frederick Douglass, and Zora Neale Hurston, this chapter charts the way the essay at its best expresses both a determination to be free and the “will to adorn.” Although the emphasis changes, black essayists use three rhetorical strategies to make these crucial interventions: democratic eloquence, troubled eloquence and vernacular process. Frederick Douglass utilizes democratic eloquence to make crucial interventions in anti-slavery discourse. W.E.B. Du Bois’ troubled eloquence marks a historical shift in which freedom becomes aligned as much with individual identity as with a people’s collective freedom. Zora Neale Hurston uses a “vernacular process” to fuse high and low styles in her meditation on freedom and racial identity. It is through the use of these strategies that African American authors make a mark on the genre itself.
