Agonistic Democracy explores how theoretical concepts from
agonistic democracy can inform institutional design in order to
mediate conflict in multicultural, pluralist societies. Drawing on
the work of Foucault, Nietzsche, Schmitt and Arendt, Marie Paxton
outlines the importance of their themes of public contestation,
contingency and necessary interdependency for contemporary
agonistic thinkers. Paxton then delineates three distinct
approaches to agonistic democracy: David Owen's perfectionist
agonism, Mouffe's adversarial agonism and William Connolly and
James Tully's inclusive agonism. She demonstrates how each is
fundamental to enabling citizens to cultivate better virtues for
themselves and society (Owen), motivating democratic engagement
(Mouffe) and enhancing relations of respect and understanding
between conflicting citizens (Connolly and Tully). Situated within
the context of a deeply polarised post-Trump America and
post-Brexit Britain, this book reveals the need to rethink our
approach to conflict mediation through democratic institutions.
Pulling together insights from experimental research with
deliberative democratic innovations, Paxton explores how agonistic
theory might be institutionalised further. By discussing ways in
which agonistic institutions might be developed to render democracy
more virtuous, more engaging, and more inclusive, this book
provides a unique resource for students of contemporary political
theory.
