Democracy is said to be in crisis. For example, two leading journals dedicated to the principled discussion of the theory and future of democracy, Democratic Theory and The Journal of Democracy, have both published special issues on the crisis of democracy. This volume brings together conceptual historians, philosophers, political scientists, political theorists and sociologists to discuss the challenges, criticism and crises of democracy with fresh approaches to the idea of democracy, democratic theory, democratic institutions, trust and distrust, populism and advancement of technologies.
