Special Issue 'Protest and the Democratic Order' published in Democratic Theory
With the Special Issue on 'Protest and the Democratic Order', the results of an international workshop held in 2021 as part of the POWDER project at the Research and Teaching Area appear in Democratic Theory. The issue brings together contributions by Christina Flesher-Fominaya (Aarhus University), Erin Pineda (Smith College), José Medina (Northwestern University), Oliver Marchart (University of Vienna) and Paolo Gerbaudo (King's College London) and Christian Volk.
The contributions deal with the dynamics of political protest in the context of democratic orders and thus combine discourses on the conceptualisation and theorisation of protest with empirical findings on the topic. Also part of the issue is a symposium on Jason Frank's 'The Democratic Sublime' with contributions by Karuna Mantena, Adom Getachew, Sofia Näsström and Jason Frank. All contributions are available in open access.
