Book: The State in Postdemocracy: State, Politics, Democracy and Law in Recent French Thought (in German)

More on post-democracy from Germany and France: Edited by Michael Hirsch (Technical University Munich) and Rüdiger Voigt (University of Siegen), the contributed volume in German, "Der Staat in der Postdemokratie: Staat, Politik, Demokratie und Recht im neueren französischen Denken" ("The State in Postdemocracy: State, Politics, Democracy and Law in Recent French Thought"; my translation), was published by Franz Steiner Verlag in March 2009.

Quote (translated by me): "In Germany, the thesis of a structural democratic deficit has accompanied the emergence of the democratic republic from the outset. In recent French state and political thought this postdemocratic situation has been analyzed particularly thorough. A comprehensive assessment of these approaches, their theoretical classification and the appraisal of their implications for the state discourse have so far been lacking, though."
