Zusammenfassung:A broad overview of the phenomenon of political violence and its implications for democratic politicsDemocracy and Political Violence adopts a distinct perspective: that both community and conflict are at the heart of all but the smallest of democratic societies, and that they need to be reconciled in order for democracy to be successful.John Schwarzmantel applies democratic theory to the problem of creating a liberal democracy in a situation of conflict, violence and social division. Within this framework, the book focuses on the particular issue of the challenge posed by violence, both to established democracies and to the establishment of new democracies. He combines these theoretical arguments with real-world examples and case studies to show clearly the challenges that violence poses to liberal democracies.Key FeaturesTakes examples from East Timor, Kenya, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq and FrancePresents fresh arguments for the future conduct of liberal-democratic politics to meet new violent challenges
