Summary
The introduction examines the processes through which democracy has become an almost global political form in recent decades, and it describes symptoms of crisis in some polities. It proposes a distinct methodology for understanding of democracy, based partly in integration theory, partly in global sociology and partly in the sociology of concepts. This theory forms a perspective that allows us to comprehend the weakening of democracy in many societies, especially as exemplified by populist government.
