Die Grammatik der Demokratie

Peter Graf Kielmansegg is one of the most important analysts of democracy in the Federal Republic of Germany. In this volume, Kielmansegg’s ‘Grammar of Democracy’ is explored and critically acclaimed by renowned political scientists, historians and sociologists for the first time. Kielmansegg’s theoretical work on democracy, which centres around the point at which history and political science overlap and has an impressive consistency despite its many layers and threads, contains many suggestions that can be developed productively, and his form, style and approach could also inspire the fields of history and political science. The contributions in this book demonstrate in an exemplary manner what form an analysis of Kielmansegg’s work could take and how it could succeed.
