The humiliated democracy. The political order in times of appeasement

Abstract

Liberal democracy –as a system and as a "state of things"– and the international order after 2001 go through a global crisis. The author claims that the break with the achievements of liberal democracy, if only there is integrity in ideas or "pure" political regimes and does not take into account the imperfect goods, is an error that we can pay dearly. We have clear where the world is going? First presents a tour of what has happened since the fall of the Berlin wall until the September 11, 2001 and then is analyzed the reaction after these events, both in the United States of America and the European Union. In its most thoughtful and purposeful, the author makes a critique of the "paradigms of equidistance" and of the so–called "policy of appeasement". In conclusion, he reacts vigorously against those who rashly criticize liberal democracy. The disappearance or deterioration of this would result in the loss of freedom and the possibility of Justice.
