englischThis volume presents new perspectives on how an agonistic understanding of politics, which emphasises disagreement and conflict, can be made fruitful for debates on state theory. It deals with the theories by Chantal Mouffe, Ernesto Laclau, Bonnie Honig, William Connolly, James Tully and other theorists who advocate an agonistic understanding of politics. The volume discusses parliament, parties, political representation, the demos, law, the constitution and science. In addition, it shows what it means to understand stabilised social practices and discourses as institutions. The volume is aimed at students and teachers in higher education as well as researchers who are interested in the further developments of agonistic democratic theory.

With contributions by

Christoph Held, Steffen Herrmann, Dirk Jörke, Oliver Lembcke, Franziska Martinsen, Danny Michelsen, Malte Miram, Milos Rodatos, Luzia Sievi, Rieke Trimçev, Stefan Wallaschek, Manon Westphal and Gabriele Wilde.

»Insgesamt decken die beiden Sammelbände ein breites Spektrum theoretischer Perspektiven sowie zu befragender, zu kritisierender und zu gestaltender Institutionen ab. [...] anregend pluralen Panorama [...] die Bände schärfen das Profil dieser Debatte und treiben sie so voran.«
Manuel Kautz, ZPTH 1-/2023, 349-357, Doppelbesprechung von "Westphal, Agonale Demokratie und Staat" und "Herrmann, Institutionen des Politischen"
