Sovereignty and constitutional democracy
Gümplová, Petra ; Petrusek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Linek, Lukáš (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to rearticulate the discourse of sovereignty in political theory and to outline a model of sovereignty compatible with premises and institutions of constitutional democracy. The underlying assumption of my project is that sovereignty is an indispensable feature of modern political order and that tendencies to move beyond sovereignty are based on the misunderstanding of the concept. Inspired by Habermas's theory, my reconstruction of sovereignty will focus on the idea of co-originality and mutual containment of legal and political process and on the discursive- proceduralist conception of political autonomy which articulates a normative dimension of my understanding of sovereignty. An attempt to develop the framework of a normative theory of sovereignty is meant to redeem the discourse of sovereignty against its critics while at the same time revoke authoritarian implications based on sovereignty claims. The project of rearticulation of sovereignty is meant as a contribution to the theory of constitutional democracy.
