    THE CONDITION OF DEMOCRACY
    JÜRGEN MACKERT, HANNAH WOLF AND BRYAN S. TURNER
    Classical liberal democratic theory has provided crucial ideas for a still dominant and hegemonic discourse that rests on ideological conceptions of freedom, equality, peacefulness, inclusive democratic participation, and tolerance.

    POPULISM AND THE CRISIS OF DEMOCRACY
