Honig's careful work enriches our understanding of democratic politics.\"--William Corlett, Law and Politics Book Review \"Creatively engaging with many debates in democratic theory, [Honig] is at her best reinterpreting unconventional texts like biblical parables or the legal history of the Red Scare.\"--Choice \"Emergency Politics nicely combines theory with insightful analyses of historical and contemporary events... This is a timely and important book that should be read by anyone interested in the current state of democratic theory and practice. It is a cogent argument for an agonistic conception of democracy, based on insightful theoretical and empirical analyses.\"--Lasse Thomassen, Journal of Politics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xi  Preface xv  Introduction: Surviving 1  Chapter One: Beginnings 12  Chapter Two: Emergence 40  Chapter Three: Decision 65  Chapter Four: Orientation 87  Chapter Five: Proximity 112  Aftermath 139  Notes 143  Bibliography 181  Index 193","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403785675095,"sku":"9780691152592","price":25.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691152592.jpg?v=1730484541","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/emergency-politics-9780691152592","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
