In the past two decades, democratic institutions have faced a crisis of representation. From authoritarian backsliding in countries with recent democratic transformations, to severe challenges to established liberal democracies, the meaning of political representation and whether and when it succeeds has become highly debated. In response to an increasingly fraught political climate, Contested Representation brings together scholars from across the United States and Europe to critically assess the performance of representative institutions in Europe and North America. Taking an interdisciplinary, comparative approach, this volume looks at the viability of electoral institutions, the responsiveness of government to public preferences, alternative institutions for more inclusive democracy, and the political economy of populism. Chapters also address the broader normative question of how democratic institutions can be adapted to new conditions and challenges. Expertly researched and exceedingly timely, Contested Representation provides critical frameworks that highlight realistic pathways to democratic reform.
Zu zeigen, dass Goethes Wort "Das Gedichtete behauptet sein Recht" auch in der Moderne gilt, ist Anliegen dieser Festschrift fur Walter Gebhard. Der Band versammelt 40 Beitrage von in- und auslandischen Fachwissenschaftlern aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen. Jeder Beitrag fokussiert jeweils ein nach 1850 erschienenes Gedicht, das dem Text vorangestellt ist. In ihrer methodischen und thematischen Vielfalt liefern die Aufsatze einen reprasentativen Querschnitt der aktuellen Lyrikdiskussion. Gleichzeitig spiegeln sich in ihnen auch die Interessen und Forschungsschwerpunkte des Jubilars: Aspekte der Moderne, Interkulturalitat, Asien, Erotik, Politik, Musik und Didaktik.
