Political Exclusion and the Limits of Militant Democracy --Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --IndexHow should pro-democratic forces safeguard representative government from anti-democratic forces? By granting rights of participation to groups that do not share democratic values, democracies may endanger the very rights they have granted; but denying these rights may also undermine democratic values. Alexander Kirshner offers a set of principles for determining when one may reasonably refuse rights of participation, and he defends this theory through real-world examples, ranging from the far-right British Nationalist Party to Turkey's Islamist Welfare Party to America's Democratic Party during Reconstruction.RadicalismCase studiesRight and left (Political science)Case studiesPolitical participationCase studiesDemocracyCase studiesRadicalismRight and left (Political science)Political participationDemocracy303.48/4Kirshner Alexander S1488075MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791316003321A theory of militant democracy3708279UNINA
