In person icon The Non-Western Imprint of Meanings of Democracy

Abstract

In the tradition of Comparative Political Theory (CPT), this panel focuses on the question of how to define core elements of democracy given the multiple meanings of democracy all over the world. Contributions to this panel will discuss several normative conceptions of democracy that have originated in non-Western contexts in a comparative perspective and/or they will outline how basic defining elements of these different conceptions might be integrated into what can be called a "Grounded Global Theory of Democracy".
