商品描述

In light of the public and scholarly debates on the challenges and problems of established democracies, such as a lack of participation, declining confidence in political elites, and the deteriorating capabilities of democratic institutions, this volume discusses the question whether democracy as such is in crisis. On the basis of the shared concept of embedded democracy, it develops a range of conceptual approaches to empirically analyzing the challenges of democracy and their potential transformation into crisis phenomena.
The book is divided into three parts, the first of which highlights various aspects of political participation, such as political inequality in voting. In turn, Part II focuses on problems of political representation, while Part III assesses whether processes such as globalization, deregulation, and the withdrawal of the state from important policy areas have limited the political control and legitimacy of democratically elected governments.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

鑒於公眾和學術界對於既有民主制度所面臨的挑戰和問題的辯論，例如參與不足、對政治精英的信任下降，以及民主機構能力的惡化，本書探討了民主本身是否處於危機之中。基於嵌入式民主（embedded democracy）的共同概念，本書發展出一系列概念性方法，以實證分析民主面臨的挑戰及其潛在轉變為危機現象的可能性。

本書分為三個部分，第一部分強調政治參與的各種面向，例如投票中的政治不平等。第二部分則專注於政治代表性的問題，而第三部分評估全球化、放鬆管制以及國家在重要政策領域撤退等過程是否限制了民主選舉政府的政治控制和合法性。
