Liberalism and the Bobbian definition of democracy: elements for a critical analysis

In this text we want to examine the relationships established between liberalism and democracy in the work of Norberto Bobbio. From this examination, we seek to make a critical interpretation of the Bobbian conception of democracy and political consequences implied by such a conception. We expect to contribute to challenge hegemonic democratic theory, thus opening space for other approaches.

Democracy; liberalism; Bobbio
