Explore a pivotal work in political theory with this new translation of Carl Schmitt's "The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy" by Reinhardt Biedermann. Schmitt, a prominent 20th-century German legal and political theorist, delves into the challenges and contradictions of parliamentary democracy in the modern era. In this insightful work, Schmitt critically examines the foundations and functioning of parliamentary systems, questioning their efficacy and legitimacy in a rapidly changing political landscape. He explores the tension between liberal democratic ideals and the realities of political power, offering a provocative analysis of representation, identity, and sovereignty. Biedermann's translation brings clarity and accessibility to Schmitt's complex ideas, making this edition an essential read for students and scholars of political science, history, and philosophy. This translation provides a new perspective on Schmitt's influential work, opening it to a wider audience and fostering deeper understanding of the challenges facing contemporary democratic institutions.
