This book explores the implications of agonistic democratic theory
for political practice. Fuat Gursoezlu argues that at a time when
political parties exacerbate political division, political
protesters are characterized as looters and terrorists, and extreme
partisanship and authoritarian tendencies are on the rise, the
agonistic approach offers a much-needed rethinking of political
practice to critically understand challenges to democracy and
envision more democratic, inclusive, and peaceful alternatives.
Inspired by Chantal Mouffe's agonistic theory and drawing on
insights of other prominent agonistic scholars, Gursoezlu offers a
distinctive approach that develops the connections between the
agonistic approach and political practice. His main claim is that
approaching democratic politics from an agonistic perspective
changes the way we understand the nature of democratic society, the
place of political protest in democracy, the nature of adversarial
engagement, and the democratic function of political parties. The
book also advances an account of agonistic peace that is best
fitted to the pluralistic and inherently conflictual nature of
democratic societies. This book should be of interest to anyone
working in the field of contemporary political theory, political
philosophy, peace studies, and philosophy of peace.
