Democratic Crisis and Global Constitutional Law explains the
current weakness of democratic polities by examining antinomies in
constitutional democracy and its theoretical foundations. This book
argues that democracy is usually analysed in a theoretical lens
that is not adequately sensitive to its historical origins. The
author proposes a new sociological framework for understanding
democracy and its constitutional preconditions, stressing the
linkage between classical patterns of democratic citizenship and
military processes and arguing that democratic stability at the
national level relies on the formation of robust normative systems
at the international level. On this basis, he argues that democracy
is frequently exposed to crisis because the normative terms in
which it is promoted and justified tend to simplify its nature.
These terms create a legitimising space in which anti-democratic
movements, typically with a populist emphasis, can take shape and
flourish.
