  • A Postmortem on the Midterm Elections CLE Materials Packet

    A Postmortem on the Midterm Elections CLE Materials Packet

    Democratic Distortions: A Postmortem on the Midterm Elections CLE Materials Packet Wednesday, November 14 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Democracy’s Deficits Samuel Issacharoff† Barely a quarter century after the collapse of the Soviet empire, democracy has entered an intense period of public scrutiny. The election of President Donald Trump and the Brexit vote are dramatic moments in a populist uprising against the post- war political consensus of liberal rule. But they are also signposts in a process long in the making, yet perhaps not fully appreciated until the intense electoral upheavals of recent years. The current moment is defined by distrust of the institutional order of democracy and, more fundamentally, of the idea that there is a tomorrow and that the losers of today may unseat the victors in a new round of electoral challenge. At issue across the nuances of the national settings is a deep challenge to the core claim of democracy to be the superior form of political organization of civilized peoples. The current democratic malaise is rooted not so much in the outcome of any particular election but in four central institutional challenges, each one a compro- mise of how democracy was consolidated over the past few centuries. The four are: first, the accelerated decline of political parties and other institutional forms of pop- ular engagement; second, the paralysis of the legislative branches; third, the loss of a sense of social cohesion; and fourth, the decline in state competence. While there are no doubt other candidates for inducing anxiety over the state of democracy, these four have a particular salience in theories of democratic superiority that make their decline or loss a matter of grave concern.
