}}''Democratic Theory'' is a peer-reviewed journal published and distributed by Berghahn.

It encourages philosophical and interdisciplinary contributions that critically explore democratic theory—in all its forms. Spanning a range of views, the journal offers a cross-disciplinary forum for diverse theoretical questions to be put forward and systematically examined. It advances non-Western as well as Western ideas and is actively based on the premise that there are many forms of democracies and many types of democrats.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journals/democratic-theory/democratic-theory-overview.xml|title=Democratic Theory {{!}} Berghahn Journals|website=www.berghahnjournals.com|language=en|access-date=2020-04-15}}</ref>

== History, Aim & Scope ==
The aim of this journal is twofold. Though it is often seen as a sub-discipline of political theory, democratic theory has become such a complex and large area of analysis that the founders of the journal decided such an area of study ought to have its own dedicated space. The need for such a space was made evident by the copious amounts of varied and interesting research being conducted in areas such as direct democracy, representative democracy, deliberative democracy, agonistic democracy, radical democracy, cosmopolitan democracy, post-democracies and new authoritarianism.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://berghahnbooks.com/blog/democratic-theory-mark-chou-jean-paul-gagnon|title=Berghahn Books - Q&A for Democratic Theory: An Interdisciplinary Journal|last=|first=|date=|website=Berghahn|language=en-US|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-04-15}}</ref> Democratic Theory seeks to create a forum space for works that dedicate themselves to democracy studies. By doing so, such works are able to analyse, explain and make sense of the theoretical and practical implications of democracy in research, and in every day lives, on its own terms.

Though democratic theory has become such a large and important body of work, prior to the publishing of this journal, no single space or forum for such types of work existed. Scholarship on democratic theory was taking place, but it was fragmented and spread across a wide variety of disciplinary journals. The aim of Democratic Theory then was to consolidate the area of democratic theory research and create a single forum that could fill the gap that had been left in the literature by the lack of unification on this topic.<ref name=":1" />

As a forum for debate, the journal challenges theorists to ask and answer the perennial questions that plague the field of democratisation studies:

* Why is democracy so prominent in the world today?
* What is the meaning of democracy?
* Will democracy continue to expand?
* Are current forms of democracy sufficient to give voice to “the people” in an increasingly fragmented and divided world?
* Who leads in democracy?
* What types of non-Western democratic theories are there?
* Should democrats always defend democracy?
* Should democrats be fearful of de-democratisation, post-democracies, and the rise of hybridised regimes?<ref name=":0" />

Democratic Theory is a peer-reviewed journal published and distributed by Berghahn.

It encourages philosophical and interdisciplinary contributions that critically explore democratic theory—in all its forms. Spanning a range of views, the journal offers a cross-disciplinary forum for diverse theoretical questions to be put forward and systematically examined. It advances non-Western as well as Western ideas and is actively based on the premise that there are many forms of democracies and many types of democrats.[1]

History, Aim & Scope

The aim of this journal is twofold. Though it is often seen as a sub-discipline of political theory, democratic theory has become such a complex and large area of analysis that the founders of the journal decided such an area of study ought to have its own dedicated space. The need for such a space was made evident by the copious amounts of varied and interesting research being conducted in areas such as direct democracy, representative democracy, deliberative democracy, agonistic democracy, radical democracy, cosmopolitan democracy, post-democracies and new authoritarianism.[2] Democratic Theory seeks to create a forum space for works that dedicate themselves to democracy studies. By doing so, such works are able to analyse, explain and make sense of the theoretical and practical implications of democracy in research, and in every day lives, on its own terms.

Though democratic theory has become such a large and important body of work, prior to the publishing of this journal, no single space or forum for such types of work existed. Scholarship on democratic theory was taking place, but it was fragmented and spread across a wide variety of disciplinary journals. The aim of Democratic Theory then was to consolidate the area of democratic theory research and create a single forum that could fill the gap that had been left in the literature by the lack of unification on this topic.[2]

As a forum for debate, the journal challenges theorists to ask and answer the perennial questions that plague the field of democratisation studies:

  • Why is democracy so prominent in the world today?
  • What is the meaning of democracy?
  • Will democracy continue to expand?
  • Are current forms of democracy sufficient to give voice to “the people” in an increasingly fragmented and divided world?
  • Who leads in democracy?
  • What types of non-Western democratic theories are there?
  • Should democrats always defend democracy?
  • Should democrats be fearful of de-democratisation, post-democracies, and the rise of hybridised regimes?[1]
