What is the state of our democracy? Has liberal democracy brought about its own crisis? And what dangers does a liberal democracy face when decisions made in parliament are overturned by constitutional courts that are not democratically elected?
Philip Manow makes an important contribution to the debate with a highly topical approach in his new book “Unter Beobachtung. Die Bestimmung der liberalen Demokratie und ihrer Freunde” (“Unter Beobachtung. The Destiny of Liberal Democracy and its Friends”).
