In light of the public and scholarly debates on the challenges and problems of established democracies, such as a lack of participation, declining confidence in political elites, and the deteriorating capabilities of democratic institutions, this volume discusses the question whether democracy as such is in crisis. On the basis of the shared concept of embedded democracy, it develops a range of conceptual approaches to empirically analyzing the challenges of democracy and their potential transformation into crisis phenomena. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which highlights various aspects of political participation, such as political inequality in voting. In turn, Part II focuses on problems of political representation, while Part III assesses whether processes such as globalization, deregulation, and the withdrawal of the state from important policy areas have limited the political control and legitimacy of democratically elected governments.

Erodiert die Legitimitat der Demokratie in Deutschland? Obwohl die Demokratie heute eine hohe Qualitat aufweist, steht ihre Stabilitat infrage. Sie erscheint in mancher Hinsicht fragil. Die gesellschaftlichen Diskurse sind polarisiert. Den politischen Eliten schlagt haufig Verachtung, bisweilen auch Hass entgegen. Regierung und Parlament verlieren die Zustimmung der Bevoelkerung. Diese wiederum zweifelt daran, dass sie Politik beeinflussen kann oder auch nur von ihr wahrgenommen wird. Die etablierten Parteien haben Reprasentationslucken hinterlassen, die von neuen Parteien gefullt werden. Das Buch untersucht empirisch, ob dadurch die demokratische Legitimitat in Deutschland geschwacht wird.
Die Beitrage des Bandes untersuchen den expliziten und impliziten Wandel des Grundgesetzes im Mehrebenensystem der Bundesrepublik Deutschland unter erheblich veranderten politischen Rahmenbedingungen. Die Zahl der fur den Verfassungswandel relevanten Akteure ist in den letzten Jahren ebenso deutlich angestiegen wie sich die traditionellen Kraftekonstellationen zwischen ihnen verschoben haben. Nach konzeptionellen Einfuhrungen in das Regieren im Mehrebenensystem sowie Formen des Verfassungswandels zeigen die Analysen, wie Akteure auf der europaischen, nationalen und subnationalen Ebene den impliziten und expliziten Wandel des Grundgesetzes beeinflussen.
