Story1
How scapegoating and hysteria doomed the world's first democracy. From the chaos of a sea-battle to the fury of a lynch mob, from personal bravery to political machinations, The Day Democracy Died tells in vivid detail the tragic story of the Arginusae trials and the fall of Athens: a cautionary tale of democracy's demons which is as relevant in the age of instant news and mass media as in the volatile city-states of ancient Greece.

Democracy and Its Crisis

Story1
First he considers moments in history - Periclean Athens, the English Civil War, the American and French Revolutions, among them - in which the challenges we face today were first encountered and what solutions, however imperfect, were found. Then he lays bare the specific problems of democracy in the 21st century and maps out a set of urgently needed reforms. With the advent of authoritarian leaders and the simultaneous rise of populism, representative democracy appears to be caught between a rock and a hard place, yet it is this space that it must occupy, says Grayling, if a civilised society that looks after all its people is to flourish.

Story1
The leviathan is the vast unity of the State. But how are unity, peace, and security to be attained? Hobbes’ answer is sovereignty, but the resurgence of interest today in Leviathan is due less to its answers than its methods: Hobbes sees politics as a science capable of the same axiomatic approach as geometry.

Conspiracy theories are as old as politics. But conspiracists today have introduced something new - conspiracy without theory. And the new conspiracism has moved from the fringes to the heart of government with the election of Donald Trump. In A Lot of People Are Saying, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum reveal how the new conspiracism differs from classic conspiracy theory, why so few officials speak truth to conspiracy, and what needs to be done to resist it.

Do any of us really care about truth when it comes to politics? Should we? In a world of big lies, denialism, and conspiracy theories, democracies are experiencing two interlocked crises: a loss of confidence in democracy itself and the growing sense among many that politics is only about power—not truth. In this book, Michael Patrick Lynch argues that truth not only can—but must—matter in politics. He shows why truth is an essential democratic value—a value we need to sustain our democratic way of life—and how it can be strengthened.

Die Erschütterung der liberalen Demokratien wird oft mit der Schwäche der westlichen Werteordnung erklärt. Anne Applebaum wählt einen anderen Ansatz und fragt: Was macht die Rückkehr zu autoritären Herrschaftsformen für viele Menschen so erstrebenswert? An zahlreichen Beispielen – von den Brexiteers bis hin zu den illiberalen Demokratien Osteuropas – zeigt sie, welche Rolle dabei soziale Medien, Verschwörungstheorien und Nostalgie spielen.

Story1
Propelled by the belief that government has slipped out of the hands of ordinary citizens, a surging wave of populism is destabilizing democracies around the world. As John Matsusaka reveals in Let the People Rule, this belief is based in fact. Over the past century, while democratic governments have become more efficient, they have also become more disconnected from the people they purport to represent. The solution Matsusaka advances is familiar but surprisingly underused: direct democracy, in the form of referendums.

Story1
Before and after World War II, a serendipitous confluence of events created a healthy balance between the market and the polity - between the engine of capitalism and the egalitarian ideals of democracy. A global financial system was devised explicitly to allow nations to manage capitalism. Yet this golden era turned out to be lightning in a bottle. From the 1970s on, a power shift occurred, in which financial regulations were rolled back, taxes were cut, inequality worsened, and disheartened voters turned to far-right faux populism. Can democracy find a way to survive?

Hyperpartisanship has gridlocked the American government. Congress' approval ratings are at record lows, and both Democrats and Republicans are disgusted by the government's inability to get anything done. In It's Even Worse Than It Looks, Congressional scholars Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein present a grim picture of how party polarization and tribal politics have led Congress - and the United States - to the brink of institutional failure.

Es ist das politisch-theoretische Hauptwerk des Schweizer Philosophen Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Der Gesellschaftsvertrag. Das Werk erschien zuerst 1762 in Amsterdam und wurde sofort darauf in zahlreichen Ländern verboten. Im Geiste der Aufklärung versucht der Autor, Grundlagen moderner Demokratie in Worte zu fassen. Dass die alleinige Grundlage legitimer politischer Macht immer nur der allgemeine Wille sein kann, der auf das Gemeinwohl abzielt, war ein Gedanke, der große Kreise zog - und unleugbar die französische Revolution beschleunigte.

Luis de la Barreda Solórzano, primer presidente de la Comisión de Derechos Humanos del Distrito Federal, con amplia trayectoria en investigación y estudios jurídicos, plantea en este libro una duda razonable: ¿Ha sido el compromiso social de la izquierda motivo suficiente para el cuidado de los derechos humanos? Los derechos humanos son una gran conquista de la historia moderna. Cuidar de ellos es cuidar de una de las principales herramientas para salvaguardar las condiciones mínimas de existencia y expresión de la diversidad social y política.

Mit gespenstischer Klarsicht nahm Aldous Huxley schon 1946 unsere Gegenwart vorweg: Durch technologischen Fortschritt konzentriert sich politische Macht plötzlich in den Händen weniger. In Zeiten gesellschaftlichen Umbruchs haben Nationalismus und geopolitische Machtspiele Hochkonjunktur, während Demokratie und Solidarität leiden. Stilistisch brillant beschreibt Aldous Huxley das aufziehende Zeitalter einer Tech-Oligarchie – einer Welt, in der Boy Gangsters in den Regierungen sitzen und das Recht des Stärkeren die Freiheit aller bedroht.

La democracia es hoy una forma de vida y de gobierno incuestionable. No hay nadie que reniegue de ella o que no afirme querer defenderla. Pero tal éxito es compatible con que no nos pongamos de acuerdo sobre a qué nos referimos cuando hablamos de democracia. Como estamos viendo, también es compatible con la degradación de la vida pública y con el cuestionamiento de las instituciones y procesos que la encarnan. En ocasiones, la idea de democracia que se propugna se contradice con otros valores, o está sostenida en tópicos vacíos, prejuicios y mitos. Se olvida su carácter político, histórico y conflictivo.

Dieses Werk ist keine Verteidigung des Status quo, sondern ein radikaler Angriff auf das, was viele für unantastbar halten: die Demokratie. Dawid Snowden zerreißt den Schleier der Illusion und entlarvt die Demokratie als das, was sie im Kern ist – ein raffiniertes Missbrauchssystem, das Gewalt, Zwang und Abhängigkeit in Zustimmung und Freiheit verkleidet. Mit schonungsloser Sprache zeigt er, wie aus Bürgern Prostituierte des Staatsbordells gemacht werden: Sie arbeiten, zahlen und gehorchen, nicht aus freiem Willen, sondern aus erlernter Hilflosigkeit und jahrzehntelanger Dressur.

In einer akribischen Recherche haben Katja Gloger und Georg Mascolo eine Fülle vertraulicher wie brisanter Regierungsdokumente eingesehen und mit zahlreichen Zeitzeugen gesprochen. Eine besondere Rolle spielten die Dossiers deutscher Geheimdienste, die früh vor Putins imperialen Gelüsten warnten.
