Abstract:

This review seeks to contextualize the perception that the thinker Jacques Rancière has about the contemporary political structure and the concept of democracy. The text is careful to present the author's criticism of current democracies and the way governments demonstrate and defend their structures. The French thinker is emphatic in stating that the responsibility for the removal of entities from the public environment is the result of an action by the governments themselves, which, in order to have greater freedom, encourage the masses to live only on the pursuit of the individual and priva

Abstract:

We attempt to explain when and why democratic states will prevail in international crises. We review several of the prominent theories about democratic political structures and derive hypotheses from each framework about crisis outcomes. These hypotheses are tested against the population of 422 international crises between 1918 and 1994. Our findings provide further evidence that the democratic peace is not a spurious result of common interests. Moreover, we also begin the difficult task of differentiating among the many theories of the democratic peace. In particular, we find strong evidence

Six hundred and six employees in 33 enterprises (Austria, Germany, Israel, and Italy) that represent different levels of structurally anchored organizational democracy were examined in a multi-method, cross-level study.

We found support for the expected relationships. Whereas cross-level mediation tests suggest that individually perceived participation fully mediates the posit

Over the past two decades, the scholarly community interested in participatory and deliberative democracy has focused their attention on democratic innovations. Designs such as participatory budgets and citizens assemblies have been conceptualised as the actualisation of democratic ideals in a micro setting, in relative isolation from each other and the wider society (Bussu et al. 2022). In recent years the attention of democracy scholarship turned toward the connectivity between various democratic innovations and raised questions about their political and societal impact (Dean et al. 2019; Ja

Abstract:

The Swiss system of direct democracy is in many ways paradoxical. The federal structure counteracts the formation of centralizing state hierarchies and protects the egalitarian representation of local political interests. Simultaneously, local political structures can have hierarchical and exclusionary effects, especially when democratic processes are turned into values. This article considers the tensions between egalitarian and hierarchical values in Swiss democratic structures in the wake of the rise of anti-foreigner and anti-EU passions harnessed by extreme right-wing parties.

AbstractPrevious decades' celebrations of the triumph of democracy were frequently based on mainstream analyses that displayed two major theoretical problems. First, conceptualisations of democracy based on ‘minimal pre-conditions’ commonly conflated the formal establishment ofdemocratic structureswith the far more complex and historically challenging creation ofsubstantive democracy. Second, a deductive and generally ahistorical model asserting fixed stages of ‘democratic transition’ diverted attention from deeper and more substantive examination ofstruggles for power among social forces with

The dramatic changes of 1989 have been widely understood as the confirmation of Western, liberal democracy as the ultimate model of the modern polity. The fact that 1989 was about a dual language that not only emphasized the rule of law and the implementation of rights, but also articulated ideas of democracy alternative to the mainstream liberal-constitutional idea, has not been at the forefront of interpretations of post-1989 trajectories. This does not mean, though, that 1989 has not had implications for the democratic imaginary and structures emerging in the new democracies. Dissidence has

Abstract:

The article examines the dilemma of the necessity to consolidate democratic structures by creating incentives for political forces to channel their interests into the democratic institutions, but the policy choices are tightly constrained by the economic crisis. The foreseeable future, however, does not offer the perspective of material improvements in Eastern Europe, despite all optimistic prognoses. Nevertheless, the democratic institutions already seem consolidated to an extent to which their existence is at least not threatened in short-term perspective.

Abstract:

This article critically examines the scholarship on democratic decline and citizens’ dissatisfaction as well as it explores the key drivers, manifestations, and consequences of democratic backsliding worldwide. The study highlights how declining trust in democratic institutions, economic inequalities, and the rise of populism have intensified public discontent, leading to increased polarization and support for alternative governance models. By analyzing global trends, including democratic erosion in South Asia, Latin America, and Europe, the article underscores the complex relationship between

Abstract:

In the past several years, Israeli politics have entered an unprecedented era of divisiveness and vitriol. After five elections in four years and crisis after crisis, an analysis of this decline of institutions is crucial to understanding how democratic trajectories function, especially in societies as diverse as Israel’s. Germany’s contrasting maintenance of many of Israel’s lost democratic habits serves as an intriguing prism through which to view Israel. What do the two countries’ systems do differently? This paper will argue that Israel’s recent turn and Germany’s stability are the result

AbstractIs US president Donald Trump a threat to democracy? Alerting against his manifold transgressions of democratic norms, many comparative political scientists have thought so. Their practical worries, however, have been inconsistent with prevalent theories of democratic stability. As careful examination shows, his main democratic norm violations have been discursive, and they have revealed him to be, not an ideological enemy of democracy, but a self-centered actor without deep democratic commitments. None of this should ring democratic alarm bells. But it does. As I suggest, Donald Trump

Abstract:

Abstract What happens to public administration when populists are elected into government? This article argues that populists seek to realize an anti-pluralist reform agenda, thereby fuelling trends of democratic backsliding. Against this background, the article discusses potential goals and strategies of populist public administration policy and introduces examples of how populists sought to capture (Orbán in Hungary), dismantle (Fujimori in Peru), sabotage (Trump in the United States), and reform (Blocher in Switzerland) the state bureaucracy. In doing so, populists in government aim at stru

Abstract:

The dynamics of voting in hierarchical structures is modelled using the very efficient tool of the real space renormalization group borrowed from the Physics of collective phenomena. Each hierarchical level elects the one just above from local cells using a majority rule voting. The process is restricted to a two party competition. For each party two critical thresholds are found in the overall support. Below the first one, the associated party is automatically self-eliminated. Above the second one the presidency is guaranteed. In between the results are probabilistic. Depending on the voting

Abstract:

Because social movements exist to challenge entrenched power structures or change prevailing social practices, they claim to represent marginalized or excluded constituencies. Yet as eloquently argued by E. E. Schattschneider, “the flaw in the pluralist heaven is that the heavenly chorus sings with a strong upper-class accent” (The Semisovereign People, 1960, 35). Lacking formal mechanisms of democratic accountability, social movements, like other organized interests, can fall prey to the trap of overrepresenting the privileged. In addition, some scholars have challenged the idea that movement
