2023/2024 Democratic Theories - Teórie demokracie
The course offers the students a basic overview of the field of democratic theory. The students will learn the basic concepts and problems in democratic governance.

In the first half, apart from a brief overview of the historical development and key terms and mechanisms of democratic politics, the course will focus on issues of representation, political equality, liberal democracy and democratization.

Furthermore, in its second half, the course will focus on modern theories of democracy in both their normative and empirical aspects – the varied conceptual approaches to how democracies work – and how they should work.
