Book Description
Die großen Probleme unserer Zeit – Terrorismus, Klimawandel, globale Migration und jüngst die Corona-Pandemie – überschreiten die Grenzen der Nationalstaaten. Allein und ohne die Kooperation mit anderen kann kein Staat diese Probleme lösen. Die Handlungsoptionen sind reduziert und gelten in der Regel nur für das eigene Staatsgebiet. Im besten Fall fußen sie auf freiwilligen und damit wenig belastbaren, zwischenstaatlichen Absprachen. Dem gegenüber steht die Instrumentalisierung globaler Krisen durch einzelne Großmächte. Es fehlt ein globales Korrektiv, das im Bedarfsfall gezielt eingreifen kann und auf der Basis eigener Ressourcen handlungsfähig ist. Es ist deshalb an der Zeit, die Diskussion über eine demokratische und föderale Weltregierung wieder aufzunehmen. Christian J. Jäggi legt mit diesem Buch einen Beitrag dazu vor.

The Legitimacy of Modern Democracy
Author: Pedro T. Magalhães
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351654004
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
By re-examining the political thought of Max Weber, Carl Schmitt and Hans Kelsen, this book offers a reflection on the nature of modern democracy and the question of its legitimacy. Pedro T. Magalhães shows that present-day elitist, populist and pluralist accounts of democracy owe, in diverse and often complicated ways, an intellectual debt to the interwar era, German-speaking, scholarly and political controversies on the problem(s) of modern democracy. A discussion of Weber’s ambivalent diagnosis of modernity and his elitist views on democracy, as they were elaborated especially in the 1910s, sets the groundwork for the study. Against that backdrop, Schmitt’s interwar political thought is interpreted as a form of neo-authoritarian populism, whereas Kelsen evinces robust, though not entirely unproblematic, pluralist consequences. In the conclusion, the author draws on Claude Lefort’s concept of indeterminacy to sketch a potentially more fruitful way than can be gleaned from the interwar German discussions of conceiving the nexus between the elitist, populist and pluralist faces of modern democracy. The Legitimacy of Modern Democracy will be of interest to political theorists, political philosophers, intellectual historians, theoretically oriented political scientists, and legal scholars working in the subfields of constitutional law and legal theory.

The book turns the 'democratic peace' theme on its head: rather than investigating the reasons for the supposed pacifism of democracies, it looks for the causes of their militancy. In order to solve this puzzle, the authors look across International Relations, political theory, political philosophy and sociology.

The Global Age
Author: Martin Albrow
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745665586
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
Many authors who discuss the idea of globalization see it as continuing pre-established paths of development of modern societies. Post-modernist writers, by contrast, have lost sight of the importance of historical narrative altogether. Martin Albrow argues that neither group is able to recognize the new era which stares us in the face. A history of the present needs an explicit epochal theory to understand the transition to the Global Age. When globality displaces modernity there is a general decentering of state, government, economy, culture, and community. Albrow calls for a recasting of the theory of such institutions and the relations between them. He finds an open potential for society to recover its abiding significance in the face of the declining nation state. At the same time a new kind of citizenship is emerging. This important book will provoke both radicals and conservatives. Its scholarship ranges widely across the social sciences and humanities. It is bound to promote wide cross-disciplinary debate.

Strangers in Our Midst
Author: David Miller
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674969804
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
How should Western democracies respond to the many millions of people who want to settle in their societies? Economists and human rights advocates tend to downplay the considerable cultural and demographic impact of immigration on host societies. Seeking to balance the rights of immigrants with the legitimate concerns of citizens, Strangers in Our Midst brings a bracing dose of realism to this debate. David Miller defends the right of democratic states to control their borders and decide upon the future size, shape, and cultural make-up of their populations. “A cool dissection of some of the main moral issues surrounding immigration and worth reading for its introductory chapter alone. Moreover, unlike many progressive intellectuals, Miller gives due weight to the rights and preferences of existing citizens and does not believe an immigrant has an automatic right to enter a country...Full of balanced judgments and tragic dilemmas.” —David Goodhart, Evening Standard “A lean and judicious defense of national interest...In Miller’s view, controlling immigration is one way for a country to control its public expenditures, and such control is essential to democracy.” —Kelefa Sanneh, New Yorker
