englischIn this special issue we explore conceptions of democracy beyond the West from three disciplinary perspectives (theories, discourses, attitudes) and suggest an integrated approach of ‘global-transcultural research on democracy’ (GTDR) as an alternative to classical research on democracy, which has focused nearly exclusively on Western conceptions of democracy.

We research three manifestations of non-Western conceptions of democracy (as theories, as discourses and as understandings of democracy) within the framework of an innovative and interdisciplinary contextual approach and systematize the results from a global and transcultural perspective.

This book is relevant to democratic theory and empirical research on democracy, to comparative political theory, the literature on the meanings or understandings of democracy, political culture or rather research into public opinion, to area studies and to related disciplines.

»Endlich hat die Idee in der Demokratieforschung ausgedient, alle dächten an das Gleiche, wenn sie "Demokratie" hören. Wer wissen will, wer woran denkt, dem sei der Sammelband empfohlen.«
Tom Mannewitz, Jahrbuch Extremismus & Demokratie 2017, 377

»Die Herausgeber konzipierten diesen Band als einen innovativen Anstoß zu einer global-transkulturellen Demokratieforschung.«
