THE CONTRADICTIONS OF DEMOCRACY GLOBALIZATION
THE CONTRADICTIONS OF DEMOCRACY GLOBALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: The author deals with the problem of european (global) democratization and not with its goals. The author defines the first group of problems as internal contradictions of modern democratic states. In addition to the existing historical-political criticisms of democratic rule, the author refers to critical analysis of democracy in John Keane’s works. According to Keane, modern democratic state gets involved in several ways in the field of free circulation of public opinion. Based on this and other analyses (Bobio, Dahl), the author concludes that in contemporary european democratic societies there also exist profound contradictions that are transferred to globalization of democracy, too.
