Abstract

<p>While there are various theoretical trends in contemporary democratic theory, such attempts seem to be premised on the significance of ‘liberal democracy’ and then to aim for deepening or radicalization of it. This article reconsiders the place of the concept of liberal democracy in contemporary democratic theory, and tries to examine that the relationship between them is not only the deepening or the radicalization of liberal democracy. It focuses on the plural meanings of the word ‘liberal’ in liberal democracy. That is, this paper states that ‘liberal’ in liberal democracy has at least four meanings, capitalist market, competitive party system, the public-private distinction, and constitutionalism, and argues that there are varieties of attempts in contemporary democratic theory that try to go beyond ‘liberal’ democracy in each meaning.</p>
