- More about Agonistic Democracy and Political Practice: Ways of Being Adversarial
The book explores the implications of agonistic democratic theory for political practice, arguing that it offers a rethinking of political practice to understand challenges to democracy and envision more democratic, inclusive, and peaceful alternatives. It draws on the agonistic theory of Chantal Mouffe and advances an account of agonistic peace that is best fitted to the pluralistic and inherently conflictual nature of democratic societies.

This comprehensive exploration delves into the profound implications of agonistic democratic theory for political practice. Fuat Gürsözlü, in his insightful analysis, argues that in a time characterized by escalating political division, where political protesters are often labeled as looters and terrorists, and extreme partisanship and authoritarian tendencies flourish, the agonistic approach emerges as a crucial catalyst for reimagining political practices. Drawing inspiration from Chantal Mouffe's agonistic theory and incorporating insights from other prominent agonistic scholars, Gürsözlü presents a distinctive perspective that intricately weaves together the agonistic approach and political practice. His central contention is that adopting an agonistic lens in democratic politics fundamentally alters our understanding of democratic society, the role of political protest within it, the nature of adversarial engagement, and the democratic function of political parties.
Furthermore, the book advances an account of agonistic peace that is specifically tailored to the pluralistic and inherently conflictual nature of democratic societies. This work is of immense interest to scholars and practitioners engaged in contemporary political theory, political philosophy, peace studies, and the philosophy of peace. It offers valuable insights and perspectives that can contribute to a more informed and constructive engagement with the challenges and opportunities facing democratic societies today.
