Das Buch "Die Theorie der politischen Führung" untersucht die Theorie der politischen Führung, die mit dem philosophischen Streit um Determinismus versus Aktivismus in Verbindung gebracht wird, um den Grundkonflikt des 21. Jahrhunderts zwischen liberaler Demokratie und neuem Autoritarismus zu verstehen. Es betont die Bedeutung von Führung in alten und neuen Demokratien sowie in den neoautoritären Regimen und fordert einen neuen Typus politischer Führungskräfte.

In this book, which is a relatively unexplored field within political science, the theory of political leadership is illuminated. It is closely linked to the philosophical debate between determinism and activism and aids in understanding the core conflict of the 21st century between liberal democracy and new authoritarianism. The book delves into Max Weber's typology of political authority and his concept of responsibility ethics, which are essential to the theory of leadership. The author demonstrates that the unfinished struggle between democracy and new authoritarianism in the 21st century reaffirms the importance of leadership in both old and new democracies and in neo-authoritarian regimes. It also calls for a new type of political leader.
