The Authoritarian Interlude (eBook, ePUB)

Democracy, Values and the Politics of Hubris

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Authoritarian Interlude extends debates on democracy by critically examining the key role of values often associated with neo-liberalism and the traditions of thought concerning public conceptions of democratic life. Within the volume various normative arguments from prominent political theorists are addressed, particularly those associated with deliberative approaches to the study of contemporary democracy. Throughout the book examples are taken from the Australian, United Kingdom, and United States democratic experience post-9/11 to explore the dimensions of democratic culture, the nuanced tensions between the individual as an autonomous reflective subject, and conceptions of the common good.
