Illiberal Politics and Religion in Europe and Beyond
Globale Migrationsbewegungen, Sicherheitsbedrohungen und soziale Umwälzungen haben in den vergangenen Jahren den Aufstieg populistischer rechter Parteien und Bewegungen in Europa und im transatlantischen Raum befördert. Religiöse Akteure stellen potenzielle Allianzpartner für diese Gruppierungen dar. Denn religiöse Interpretationen, etwa die Bezugnahme auf christliche Traditionen, bieten ein Reservoir für die Konstruktion vermeintlich natürlicher Geschlechterordnungen, exkludierender Vorstellungen homogener Nationen und anti-muslimischer Narrative. Dieses Buch analysiert die ideologische, strukturelle und historische Verbindung von Religion und illiberalen Politiken in europäischen Demokratien.
Governing Differences
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License. It is free to read, download and share on Elgaronline. This book discusses the crisis in modern governance rooted in the social fragmentation of modern society, the expanding diversity of values, beliefs and lifestyles generated by globalization and the technological revolution. Chapters advocate for a convergence of the institutional theory of polycentricity and the political philosophy of modus vivendi – live and let live – as a basic conceptual framework to uphold a peaceful and tolerant society, while presenting detailed analysis of a wide range of case studies.
Compromise and Disagreement in Contemporary Political Theory
Until recently, discussions of compromise have been largely absent in political theory. However, political theorists have become increasingly interested in understanding the practice and justification of compromise in politics. This interest is connected to the increased concern with pluralism and disagreement. Compromise and Disagreement in Contemporary Political Theory provides a critical discussion of when and to what extent compromise is the best response to pluralism and disagreement in democratic decision-making and beyond. Christian F. Rostbøll and Theresa Scavenius draw together the work of ten established and emerging scholars to provide different perspectives on compromise. Organi...

Compromises in Democracy
This book provides an interdisciplinary examination of the relationship between compromise and democracy. Compromises have played a significant role in our representative democracies and yet the nature of the relationship between compromise and democracy has generally raised tricky theoretical questions and generated ambiguous evaluations. This book focuses on the relationship between compromise and liberal democracies from both a cultural and institutional perspective and addresses new and lesser-explored aspects of the relationship. It explores a variety of topics including: compromise and in-commensurable values, antagonist paradigms, compromise and majority decisions, compromise and publicity, compromise and post-conflict societies, compromise and anti-system political parties, and compromise and the understanding of political representation. Compromises in Democracy offers an original perspective on the topic by assembling contributions from the fields of philosophy, sociology, political theory, political science and history of ideas.
Nach der Entzauberung
Im liberalen Denken gilt Metaphysik oft als überwunden – als irrationales Erbe vormoderner Weltbilder und Gefahr totalitärer Wahrheitsansprüche. Doch gegenwärtige politische Krisen erzählen eine andere Geschichte: Der Aufstieg irrationalistischer Politik, religiösen Fanatismus' und verschwörungsideologischen Denkens zeigt, dass metaphysische Sinnbezüge nicht von der Politik zu trennen sind und destruktive Züge annehmen können, wenn sie nicht kritisch reflektiert werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund entwirft Adrian Paukstat eine politische Metaphysik, die das Politische als spannungsvolle Vermittlung von Immanenz und Transzendenz begreift und dafür eintritt, die metaphysische Herausforderung politischer Geltungsgründe bewusst anzunehmen, anstatt sie zu verdrängen. Im Zentrum stehen materialistisch-metaphysische Konzepte von Adorno, Bloch und Benjamin, deren Denken als kritische Aneignung jüdisch-theologischer Traditionen gelesen wird. Der Autor verbindet Ideengeschichte mit systematischer Theorie und plädiert für eine politische Wiederaneignung von Hoffnung, Glaube und Fantasie jenseits liberaler Nüchternheit.
