Anarchist Critique of Radical Democracy
The Impossible ArgumentThis book addresses the conflictual nature of radical democracy. By analyzing democratic conflict in Husby, a marginalized Stockholm city district, it exposes democracy’s core division ‘ between governors and governed ‘ as theorized by Jacques Ranci’re. Tracing the genealogy of that critique, the book interrogates a historical tradition generically adverse to every form of governance, namely anarchism. By outlining the divergent and discontinuous relationship between democracy and anarchy ‘ within the history of anarchist thought ‘ the author adds to democratic theory ‘The Impossible Argument’: a compound anarchist critique of radical democracy.ISBN: 9783319769769, 3319769766
