PLSI - 3468 Contemporary Democratic Theory
Description
An analysis of the meaning of the concept of “democracy,” in theory, in practice, and as a normative goal for both institutions and the practice of everyday life. What would it mean for the “demos” (common people, not elites) to truly have “kratos” (power and authority)? This political theory course explores challenges to meaningful democracy today, while also studying how common people have worked to fulfill the promise of the concept.
