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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 329g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783031060014\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fuat Gursoezlu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44559543107834,"sku":"9783031060014","price":58.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1694191987253_book.jpg?v=1694592698","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/agonistic-democracy-and-political-practice-ways-of-being-adversarial-9783031060014","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
