Democratic Anomie: Schmitt's Critique of Liberal Democracy

Tomislav Sunić ; Doktor političkih znanosti, službenik Ministarstva vanjskih poslova Republike Hrvatske

Abstract

After the fall of the communist east, liberal democracy has remained the sole form of political system. The author, in the vein of Carl Schmitt, raises some serious doubts about the ability of that system to stand up to the challenges posed by the 21st century. That dubiety primarily stems from the dichotomy between liberalism and democracy and the fact that technology, though apolitical according to the liberal canon, has long been politicized.
