This book focuses on Andrew Arato's democratic theory and its
relevance to contemporary issues such as processes of
democratization, civil society, constitution-making, and the modern
Executive. Andrew Arato is -both globally and disciplinarily- a
prominent thinker in the fields of democratic theory,
constitutional law, and comparative politics, influencing several
generations of scholars. This is the first volume to systematically
address his democratic theory. Including contributions from leading
scholars such as Dick Howard, Ulrich Preuss, Hubertus Buchstein,
Janos Kis, Uri Ram, Leonardo Avritzer, Carlos de la Torre, and
Nicolas Lynch, this book is organized around three major areas of
Aratos influence on contemporary political and social thought. The
first section offers a comprehensive view of Arato's scholarship
from his early work on critical theory and Western Marxism to his
current research on constitution-making and its application. The
second section shifts its focus from the previous, comprehensive
approach, to a much more specific one: Aratos widespread influence
on the study of civil society in democratization processes in Latin
America. The third section includes a previously unpublished work,
'A conceptual history of dictatorship (and its rivals,)' one of the
few systematic interrogations on the meaning of a political form of
fundamental relevance in the contemporary world. Critical Theory
and Democracy will be of interest to critical and social theorists,
and all Arato scholars.
