Abstract

ABSTRACT This article opens a Special Issue on Democratic Stress. Against the background of recent debates on ‘democratic crisis’, we argue that the concept of ‘democratic stress’ provides a useful way to understand the diversity of pressures that representative democracy faces in the contemporary context, as well as a valuable ‘organising perspective’ for developing more nuanced analyses. We then map out the main contributions of the articles included in this special issue, and survey the way in which they further this agenda, conceptually and empirically.

理解民主党的压力

本文是《民主压力》特刊的开篇。在最近关于“民主危机”的辩论的背景下，我们认为“民主压力”的概念提供了一种有用的方法来理解代议制民主在当代背景下面临的压力的多样性，以及一种有价值的“组织视角”，用于发展更细致的分析。然后，我们列出了本期特刊中文章的主要贡献，并从概念上和经验上调查了他们推进这一议程的方式。

期刊介绍： This change in scope follows two paths. Firstly, it seeks contributors who are interested in exploring the interface between democratic practice and theory. In particular, this focus seeks contributions that apply theoretical insights to actual examples of current practice. Secondly, while not neglecting the current focus of the journal, we would like to expand its international coverage so that the journal will offer our readers insights in the state of democracy worldwide.
