O knihe
'Sociological theory often seems remote from the everyday realities of coping with economic and democratic crises. Darrow Schecter gives the lie to that prejudice, showing through a careful, thoughtful, and original analysis how contemporary sociology can throw light on major issues often regarded as the monopoly of economists and political scientists.' Colin Crouch, FBA, University of Warwick 'Darrow Schecter offers a convincing analysis of the distinct variants of populism and transnational constitutionalism in contemporary world society. He invites readers to rethink the future of western democracies at a time when the key institutions of statehood are clearly involved in a process of significant transition.' Alberto Febbrajo, University of Macerata Democracy in the twenty-first century faces numerous challenges, with populism, neoliberalism, and globalisation being three of the most pressing. Critical theory and sociological theory explores and addresses these challenges by investigating how the conditions of democratic statehood have been altered at key intervals since 1945. At a time when mediations between citizens and statehood are rapidly changing, it argues that a sociological approach is urgently needed to address conceptual deficits and explain how the formal mechanisms of democratic statehood can be complemented and updated.
