Article: Proceduralism and Popular Threats to Democracy
Likely of interest to some, although I can't access the article: Alexander S. Kirshner (NYU, Abu Dhabi), "Proceduralism and Popular Threats to Democracy" ("Journal of Political Philosophy", 18 [4], December 2010: pp. 405-24).
Excerpt: "When antidemocratic groups immobilize or capture democratic institutions, they pose a distinctive threat to democracies. ... The pure procedural theories of democracy prevalent during the Weimar era seemed to offer no support for the defense of the republic. The apparent impotence of procedural democracy led numerous scholars and political actors to conclude that purely procedural principles should not guide the institutional development of modern representative regimes".
No abstract provided.
