The common assumption is that the path to democratisation is, once
begun, near impossible to reverse. Particularly where democratic
transition has been properly consolidated conventional wisdom and
empirical evidence both suggest that no democracy should follow the
example of Classical Athens or Germany's Weimar Republic and return
to despotism. Starting from the premise that democracies are often
deeply implicated in their own downfall, Theorising Democide
challenges this conventional view by showing how democratic
collapse is symptomatic of the inherent logic of democracy.
Democide, in some cases, can thus be understood as a kind of
ideological suicide with the tenets and devices of democracy being
somehow intrinsic to its own collapse. In other words democide
denotes the capacity that democracy has to come undone, to risk its
own safety, to take its own life while doing what it was intended
to do.
