Описание: This book examines the claim that developing countries should aspire to the Western model of liberal democracy for good governance and economic success. It argues that these successful developing nations have enjoyed the economic and social liberties necessary to encourage economic development, without adopting the institutions and values of the West.
Описание: This book investigates the relationship between liberal democracies and ontology, that is, philosophical claims about the constitution of agents and the social world. Many philosophers argue that ontology needs to be avoided in political and legal philosophy. In fact, political liberalism, a highly influential paradigm founded by the philosopher John Rawls, makes the avoidance of ontology a core ambition of its 'political, non-metaphysical' program. In contrast to political liberalism, this book argues that attending to ontological disputes is essential to political and legal philosophy. Illuminating, criticizing, and developing ontological arguments not only enhances our understanding of justice, but also highlights key features of democratic citizenship. Three traditions of thought are brought together to back up this idea: political liberalism, the work of Michel Foucault, and the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud and Donald Winnicott. The book also investigates more concrete implications of ontological disputes by drawing on several case studies: a Dutch political-legal debate about greeting rituals; an American conflict about the legalization of religious freedom; and the struggles for resilience of two American social movement groups. Revised Dissertation. (Series: European Academy of Legal Theory Series) Subject: Legal Philosophy, Political Theory, Politics, Constitutional & Administrative Law]
Описание: How has Christianity engaged with democracy? In this authoritative new treatment of a sometimes troubled relationship, Donald Norwood reflects on the way that democracy has become, especially under the auspices of the United Nations and the World Council of Churches, not just an ideal but a universally applicable moral principle. Yet, as the author demonstrates, faith and democracy have not always sat comfortably together. For example, the Vatican has dealt harshly with radical theologians such as Leonardo Boff and Hans Kung; while churches with a dictatorial style have all too often shown a willingness to accommodate authoritarian regimes and even dictators. Norwood argues that if democracy is a universal norm, a basic right, it is not possible for the Church to be indifferent to its claims. Offering a sustained exposition - from Marsilius of Padua to Christian Democracy and Christian Socialism - of the often uneasy interaction between Christianity and democratic politics as both idea and ideal, this is a major contribution to church history and to wider topical debates in politics and religious studies.

Описание: Should representative governments restrict the democratic rights of their extremist opponents?
The first edited collection to boast an international group of political scientists, legal scholars and philosophers debating the urgent question of how to combat anti-democratic extremism
Asks whether it is permissable for representative governments to restrict the democratic rights of their extremist opponents
Argues both for and against militant democracy - policies that pre-emptively restrict the rights of antidemocratic movements
Militant Democracy refers to the defensive policies democracies use to respond to antidemocratic movements. Can defensive efforts that curtail rights of participation be consistent with democratic values? In this collection of essays, scholars from across politics, philosophy and law address the unresolved practical and theoretical questions concerning democracy and extremism. The collection provides an update to a key contemporary debate in democratic theory and asks us to reconsider the potential promise and costs of militant democracy.

Описание: What did democracy mean before liberalism? By combining history with political theory, this book restores the core meaning of democracy - collective and limited self-government by citizens. Grounded in political participation and civic education, it is the essential basis of stable, non-tyrannical government - before and after liberalism.
Описание: Public reason Confucianism is presented as the most attractive option in contemporary East Asian societies. It is a particular style of Confucian democratic perfectionism in which comprehensive Confucianism is connected with perfectionism and is fully compatible with values such as popular sovereignty, political equality, and the right to political participation.
