Abstract: There is a widespread belief that contemporary democracy is under attack, in practice as well as in theory. This roundtable interrogates the present state of democracy by focusing on what democratic theorists of different intellectual and political persuasions have to say about the nature of the present crisis, its immediate and distant implications, as well as different ways of re-imagining democracy in a world where the liberal conception of democracy finds itself in retreat.
