This book critically investigates the notion of democracy without
demos by unravelling the link that modern history has established
between the concepts of democracy and the sovereignty of the
people. This task is imposed on us by globalization. The
individualization of the subject of rights is the result of the
destruction of regimes of special rights of ancient societies by
the centralizing action of a territorial power. This
individualization, because it implies equality, has created a new
form of political subjectivity that has been the driving force of
the democratization of democracies during the 19th and 20th
centuries. Democracy and subjective rights discusses how asserting
itself as the only guarantor of rights, the modern state has also
nationalized citizenship. However, the author argues, the legal and
judicial monopoly of the nation-state is weakened today by the
multiplication and heterogeneity of the powers on which the rights
of individuals depend. This situation forces us to denationalize
citizenship without sacrificing, however, the specific form of
political subjectivity that the individualization of rights has
made possible.
