Abstract

This lecture reflects on the difficulties of democracy in Erik Olin Wright’s democratic socialist vision, one he elaborates in How to Be an Anti-capitalist in the 21st Century and Envisioning Real Utopias. It rejects the notion that radical democratic projects in cities, workplaces, and cooperatives can simply be scaled up for purposes of national or postnational political rule. It reflects on selected requirements of democracy apart from democratic governing institutions and practices: from democratic political culture, to education and accountability, to handling globalized powers and problems such as finance, capital, and the climate crisis. The lecture concludes ambivalently, suggesting that democracy may be both necessary and impossible in realizing a politically free, socially just, and ecologically sustainable future.

为什么民主如此艰难?加州大学伯克利分校埃里克·奥林·赖特纪念讲座，2020年1月*

这次演讲反映了埃里克·奥林·赖特的民主社会主义愿景中民主的困难，他在《如何在21世纪成为一个反资本主义者和设想真正的乌托邦》中详细阐述了这一点。它反对这样一种观点，即城市、工作场所和合作社中的激进民主项目可以简单地扩大规模，用于国家或后国家的政治统治。它反映了除了民主治理机构和实践之外，民主的一些特定要求:从民主政治文化，到教育和问责制，再到处理全球化力量和金融、资本和气候危机等问题。讲座的结论自相矛盾，认为民主在实现政治自由、社会公正和生态可持续的未来方面可能既是必要的，也是不可能的。

期刊介绍： Politics & Society is a peer-reviewed journal. All submitted papers are read by a rotating editorial board member. If a paper is deemed potentially publishable, it is sent to another board member, who, if agreeing that it is potentially publishable, sends it to a third board member. If and only if all three agree, the paper is sent to the entire editorial board for consideration at board meetings. The editorial board meets three times a year, and the board members who are present (usually between 9 and 14) make decisions through a deliberative process that also considers written reports from absent members. Unlike many journals which rely on 1–3 individual blind referee reports and a single editor with final say, the peers who decide whether to accept submitted work are thus the full editorial board of the journal, comprised of scholars from various disciplines, who discuss papers openly, with author names known, at meetings. Editors are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest when evaluating manuscripts and to recuse themselves from voting if such a potential exists.
