The twenty-first century has been tough on democracy and shows no signs of easing up soon. Social scientists have tried to understand the forces at work behind contemporary democratic backsliding, while political theorists have undertaken the task of imagining what a more successful vision of popular government might look like. This seminar seeks to make this latter body of work more accessible to participants. It looks at theoretical questions at play in reinterpreting democratic rule, and it also suggests a number of institutional fixes that have excited theorists determined to reinvent democracy for the future.
