Die aktuelle Krise der liberalen Demokratie ist in den Mittelpunkt der verfassungsrechtlichen, historischen, philosophischen, theologischen und politischen Analyse gerückt. Der Populismus und die wachsende Abneigung gegen politische Eliten und ihre Dominanz in den Volksvertretungen stellt zunehmend das Wesen der Repräsentanz und die Beziehung zwischen Repräsentanz und Demokratie in Frage. Die Gefährdung von repräsentativen Demokratien durch autoritär auftretende politische Führungsfiguren hat der berühmte Politikwissenschaftler Eric Voegelin (1901–1986) nach Überwindung des Faschismus in Europa mit den Worten beschrieben: "If a government is nothing but representative in the constitutional sense, a representative ruler in the existential sense will sooner or later make an end of it; and quite possibly the new existential ruler will not be too representative in the constitutional sense"

Theoretisch-konzeptionelle Aufarbeitung des seit den 70er Jahren häufig gebrauchten Begriffs der 'autogestion' (Selbstverwaltung) unter Berücksichtigung des historischen und aktuellen Kontextes seiner Anwendung. Entstehung, Bedeutungszusammenhang und Anwendungsbereiche des Begriffs werden untersucht. Es wird unterschieden zwischen umgangssprachlichem und wissenschaftlichem Gebrauch bzw. Verständnis des Begriffs der Autogestion. (AuD-Fsk)

Argues that the ideas of representation & political participation are at the heart of democracy. However, over the past 200 years concepts & practices have changed. States that it is generally agreed that there is a crisis at present in both areas. Cites as evidence lower voting participation with the result that elected officials are no longer representative of the population. Identifies voter apathy & lack of confidence in systems & individuals as a source. Maintains collective life suffers as a result with excessive individualism & disaffection as consequences. Further, introduces the role of new technologies as an influence. Generalizing about contributions to this edition of the journal, notes the awareness that political parties are on the decline while other group-oriented movies (rights movements, ecological movements) are flourishing. Observes petitions, strikes, demonstrations exist apart from standard elective politics. These facts provide a context for social science when investigating the reality of non-participation. Classical approaches are said not to apply in all instances. To this end contributors make use of some important & original methodologies. In other instances, they seek to explain the emergence of the changes observed. Such longstanding issues as Quebec sovereignty are addressed with research showing differences among groups of young Canadians. Political participation among young artists is at the heart of one essay. New methodology, involving interactive technology, is introduced in this contribution. Issues addressed include the role of context (social, social, institutional, political) in fashioning individual political behavior. In addition to individuals, groups have been studied in how coalitions have renewed political participation, expression of citizenship, & other forms of organized engagement. Conscious of adopting an iconoclastic approach to political participation, the authors regard themselves as describing a form of mobilization in process of development because these coalitions have the potential of replacing more official forms of political organization. Parallel to this is the increase in purely local politics, especially when it comes to ecological issues. Such developments raise issues about political spaces where the population is more eager to participate in small neighborhood spaces & less likely to do so in larger municipal spaces. In such instances, life space & political space become synonymous. This point of view has a serious effect on representation & participation. Generational differences also figure importantly here as well since young (18 to 30 years old) differ from their elders. Finally, mentions new forms of participation: Internet mobilization, for example. R. Ruffin

In order to understand the current legitimacy crisis which affects the system of representation and is accompanied by new conceptions of democracy, it is necessary to look at the history of the institution and the classical writings about representative government. The demands of identity and identification have, to a large extent, replaced today the political link based on 'trust'. Adapted from the source document.
