Reviewing Contemporary Democracy: An Anthology

How do leading scholars reflect on contemporary democracies and the prospects of a more democratic future? This volume offers a selection of conversations that were held at the Review of Democracy - the online journal of the CEU Democracy Institute - during the first half of the 2020s and probe that overarching question through key facets.

Reviewing Contemporary Democracy explores six such facets: the relationship between democracy and equality; the historical, legal, and political dimensions of European integration; the globality of democratic thought and democratization; the inclusivity of contemporary memory regimes; the origins and discontents of our political economies; and the contestations of the rule of law.

This exciting collection offers a multi- and interdisciplinary exploration of these issues while presenting cutting-edge scholarship in an accessible format.
