From Plotke’s reflection on contemporary democratic theory we follow to Maria João Cabrita who offers a Rawlsian approach to global international democracy in The designs of global international democracy in the rawlsian realistic utopia. From these reflections we follow to considerations of democracy and hope, reflecting Laclau and Mouffe’s work. Thomas Decreus is the author of Democracy, Hope and Nihilism: On the concept of hope in the work of Laclau and Mouffe. Marco Walter presents Designing the Public Realm - a Prerequisite for Democratic Innovation. The third section of this book is concerned with Democracy in Context. From the theoretical analysis and conceptual reflection we now enter the stage where democracy is analyzed from an actual, concrete and local perspective. Opening this section is Lawrence Hamilton with a sharp article entitled Freedom, Power and Representation: Group Freedom and Democracy in South Africa. Heidi Matissonn continues the discussion of democracy in South Africa looking at the relationship between democracy and participation in Democratic Compromise or Compromising Democracy: Rethinking Participation. Gerhard Wolmarans offers Contrasting understandings of ‘democracy’ in South Africa. A descriptive and theoretical analysis , and Roseline M. Achieng’ introduces a more sociological approach to the debate with Young African Women engage the Public Sphere: a Continued Disregarded Voice. From South Africa we follow to another type of debate with Federalism, Direct Democracy and the Quality of Public Deliberation:the GMO Debate, by José Luis Egío. Joan Martinez presents Democracia Global, identidad y responsabilidad cívica de la ciudadanía. Diálogos entre Seyla Benhabib, el liberalismo comunitario y el federalismo integral del siglo XX while Iurii Mielkov and Anatoliy Tolstoukhov account for the Development of Today’s Democracy: People, Power, and Human Personality. We conclude this volume with Emanuele Bottazzi’s original reflection on State of Exception and Impasse Dynamics. We hope that this book will offer to the reader a glimpse of the many dimensions of the democratic debate, its nuances and conceptual tensions, its dilemmas and practical (im)possibilities, its promises and actual fulfillments. As organizer of the event I am grateful to David Plotke and Lawrence Hamilton for accepting the invitation and challenge to be part of this 9 INTRODUCTION Marta Nunes da Costa
project; I am also grateful to Prof. João Cardoso Rosas, for his human support and strategic advices and Prof. Ana Gabriela Macedo who gave me the necessary institutional support; to Ana Maria Pereira and Vera Amorim I am grateful, for all the help in bureaucratic affairs and practical decisions; and the last but not the least, to all participants, who became friends along the process, by sharing a common cause of taking democracy to the next level.
