Condition of Democracy

Condition of Democracy, authored by Jürgen Mackert and published in 2021 by the Taylor & Francis Group, is an academic contribution situated within the broader sociological discourse on the sustainability and fragility of contemporary political systems. The work reflects Mackert’s long-standing research interests in citizenship, social inequality, and the structural pressures exerted on democratic institutions in an era defined by globalization and socio-economic transformation.

The book functions as a critical inquiry into the internal and external tensions that shape democratic governance, aiming to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the mechanisms of political exclusion and participation. As part of a specialized academic imprint, the text is designed for scholars and students of political sociology, receiving scholarly attention for its rigorous effort to reconcile classical democratic theory with the volatile realities of the twenty-first-century political landscape.
