Book Description
La democracia está hoy en crisis también en los países donde, hasta hace poco, parecía irreversible. Frente a la idea de que no existen alternativas a la crisis, este libro aboga por tomar en serio el derecho vigente construyendo las garantías de las promesas de paz e igualdad en los derechos fundamentales. La expansión del paradigma normativo del constitucionalismo democrático, configurado como paradigma formal, no es una simple opción progresista, sino una actuación impuesta por las cartas de derechos y la única alternativa realista a un futuro de catástrofes.Como escribe Luigi Ferrajoli, la democracia no es solo una construcción jurídica, sino sobre todo una construcción social y política, dependiente de presupuestos extrajurídicos que el derecho puede tanto promover como desalentar. De esa construcción son elementos indispensables la participación ciudadana, la formación de su sentido cívico, la maduración de una opinión pública que tome en serio el nexo entre paz, democracia, igualdad y derechos fundamentales, y el desarrollo, en el sentido común, de la consciencia de las dimensiones cada vez mayores de los intereses públicos, comunes a toda la humanidad.

Book Description
El constitucionalismo rígido ha cambiado profundamente la naturaleza del derecho y de la democracia, al imponer a la política límites y vínculos sustanciales, en garantía de los derechos fundamentales constitucionalmente establecidos. Actualmente, el edificio de la democracia constitucional, como modelo teórico y como proyecto político, está siendo agredido por la asimetría entre el carácter global de los poderes económicos y financieros y los confines todavía estatales del derecho y de la democracia; por la abdicación de su papel de gobierno por parte de la política, tan impotente y subordinada a los mercados como omnipotente en relación con los sujetos débiles y sus derechos; por el general desarrollo de la ilegalidad o, lo que es peor, por la ausencia de reglas sobre los poderes, tanto públicos como privados.Por eso, la expansión del constitucionalismo, y la construcción de sus garantías a la altura de los nuevos poderes económicos globales, es la principal tarea de la política y la única alternativa racional a un futuro, no solo de desórdenes, violencias, desigualdades y devastaciones medioambientales, sino de involuciones autoritarias y antidemocráticas. -- Nota del editor.

Book Description
Amongst the novel objects that attracted my attention during my stay in the United States, nothing struck me more forcibly than the general equality of conditions. I readily discovered the prodigious influence which this primary fact exercises on the whole course of society, by giving a certain direction to public opinion, and a certain tenor to the laws; by imparting new maxims to the governing powers, and peculiar habits to the governed. I speedily perceived that the influence of this fact extends far beyond the political character and the laws of the country, and that it has no less empire over civil society than over the Government; it creates opinions, engenders sentiments, suggests the ordinary practices of life, and modifies whatever it does not produce. The more I advanced in the study of American society, the more I perceived that the equality of conditions is the fundamental fact from which all others seem to be derived, and the central point at which all my observations constantly terminated. I then turned my thoughts to our own hemisphere, where I imagined that I discerned something analogous to the spectacle which the New World presented to me. I observed that the equality of conditions is daily progressing towards those extreme limits which it seems to have reached in the United States, and that the democracy which governs the American communities appears to be rapidly rising into power in Europe. I hence conceived the idea of the book which is now before the reader. It is evident to all alike that a great democratic revolution is going on amongst us; but there are two opinions as to its nature and consequences. To some it appears to be a novel accident, which as such may still be checked; to others it seems irresistible, because it is the most uniform, the most ancient, and the most permanent tendency which is to be found in history. Let us recollect the situation of France seven hundred years ago, when the territory was divided amongst a small number of families, who were the owners of the soil and the rulers of the inhabitants; the right of governing descended with the family inheritance from generation to generation; force was the only means by which man could act on man, and landed property was the sole source of power. Soon, however, the political power of the clergy was founded, and began to exert itself: the clergy opened its ranks to all classes, to the poor and the rich, the villein and the lord; equality penetrated into the Government through the Church, and the being who as a serf must have vegetated in perpetual bondage took his place as a priest in the midst of nobles, and not infrequently above the heads of kings. The different relations of men became more complicated and more numerous as society gradually became more stable and more civilized. Thence the want of civil laws was felt; and the order of legal functionaries soon rose from the obscurity of the tribunals and their dusty chambers, to appear at the court of the monarch, by the side of the feudal barons in their ermine and their mail. Whilst the kings were ruining themselves by their great enterprises, and the nobles exhausting their resources by private wars, the lower orders were enriching themselves by commerce. The influence of money began to be perceptible in State affairs. The transactions of business opened a new road to power, and the financier rose to a station of political influence in which he was at once flattered and despised. Gradually the spread of mental acquirements, and the increasing taste for literature and art, opened chances of success to talent; science became a means of government, intelligence led to social power, and the man of letters took a part in the affairs of the State. The value attached to the privileges of birth decreased in the exact proportion in which new paths were struck out to advancement. In the eleventh century nobility was beyond all price; in the thirteenth it might be purchased; it was conferred for the first time in 1270; and equality was thus introduced into the Government by the aristocracy itself.

Book Description
John Keane's The Life and Death of Democracy will inspire and shock its readers. Presenting the first grand history of democracy for well over a century, it poses along the way some tough and timely questions: can we really be sure that democracy had its origins in ancient Greece? How did democratic ideals and institutions come to have the shape they do today? Given all the recent fanfare about democracy promotion, why are many people now gripped by the feeling that a bad moon is rising over all the world's democracies? Do they indeed have a future? Or is perhaps democracy fated to melt away, along with our polar ice caps? The work of one of Britain's leading political writers, this is no mere antiquarian history. Stylishly written, this superb book confronts its readers with an entirely fresh and irreverent look at the past, present and future of democracy. It unearths the beginnings of such precious institutions and ideals as government by public assembly, votes for women, the secret ballot, trial by jury and press freedom. It tracks the changing, hotly disputed meanings of democracy and describes quite a few of the extraordinary characters, many of them long forgotten, who dedicated their lives to building or defending democracy. And it explains why democracy is still potentially the best form of government on earth -- and why democracies everywhere are sleepwalking their way into deep trouble.
