The book investigates Kelsen's theory of democracy as it developed between the '20s and the '50s, through four main themes: pluralism, constitutionalism, relativism and proceduralism. By adopting an historical methodology, the objective is to argue how such a political theory took shape as a response to a series of historical-political events and political theories which represented for Kelsen a challenge and even a threat to representative and parliamentary democracy. The book thus wants to properly situtate Kelsen's political theory within the tradition of Twentieth century European Liberal-democratic thought.

Abstract
The book investigates Kelsen's theory of democracy as it developed between the '20s and the '50s, through four main themes: pluralism, constitutionalism, relativism and proceduralism. By adopting an historical methodology, the objective is to argue how such a political theory took shape as a response to a series of historical-political events and political theories which represented for Kelsen a challenge and even a threat to representative and parliamentary democracy. The book thus wants to properly situtate Kelsen's political theory within the tradition of Twentieth century European Liberal-democratic thought.File in questo prodotto:
