Abstract

The euphoria of the century began, the Arab Spring is gone. Even more: In its place skepticism, criticism and a certain helplessness entered. One could argue that the triumph of the democratic system over the systems of socialism have proved to be a Pyrrhic victory. The number of democracies in the world has grown, the complaints about their condition also. It is mainly the internal development of the established democracies, of which you have earlier than those of 'Western-style' speaking, the manifold has occasion to speak of a crisis of democracy.
