*Book launch: Democratic Situations *
Edited by Andreas Birkbak & Irina Papazu. Published by Mattering Press,
May 2022.
Democratic Situations places the making and doing of democratic politics
at the centre of relational research. The book turns the well-known
sites of contemporary Euro-American democracy – elections,
bureaucracies, public debates and citizen participation – into
fluctuating democratic situations where supposedly untouchable
democratic ideals are contested and warped in practice. The empirical
cases demonstrate that democracy cannot be reduced to theoretical
schemes of conflict, institutions or deliberation. Instead, they offer
an urgently needed renewal of our understanding of democratic politics
at a time when conventional ideas increasingly fail to capture current
events such as Brexit, Trump and Covid19.
The book is available open access and in print via
