Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | This volume addresses a fundamental and yet under-studied problem in democratic theory and practice: who should have a right to take part in which decisions? This "democratic boundary problem" is reflected in questions about who should be entitled to participate and vote in any association or political unit, whether at the national, local, regional or supra-national level. A key question is what the relevant conditions for inclusion of democratic participation should be: the people affected by decisions or the people subjected to laws or rules? In addition, the democratic boundary problem raises questions about the nature of agents that can or should be eligible for democratic inclusion. Is democracy only for human beings? The democratic boundary problem is thought-provoking and invites us to reconsider widely-held presumptions about what democracy is. The eleven working papers included in this volume edited by Paul Bowman offer new and thought-provoking insights into the boundary problems of democratic theory, written by an international and multi-disciplinary group of scholars from the disciplines of philosophy, political science, law and mathematics. Contributing authors include Vuko Andrić, Gustaf Arrhenius, Ludvig Beckman, Katharina Berndt Rasmussen, Robert E. Goodin, Axel Gosseries, Jonas Hultin Rosenberg, David Miller, Klas Markström and Ashwini Vasanthakumar. The research included here received funding from the Marcus and Marianne Wallenberg Foundation and the Swedish Research Council. |
