Demokratiedämmerung

In theory, it may be a good idea, but unfortunately, it fails in practice! What was once said about communism now applies to democracy – it is becoming increasingly unbelievable. Veith Selk demonstrates in his sharply analytical book why both democratic politics and the accompanying theories of democracy are failing in reality. Two theses are pursued: the decline of democracy is not due to regression, but rather the result of societal advancement. This heralded end of democracy also leads to the decay of democratic theory, which becomes anachronistic as an academic discipline.
