This open access book takes stock of the current situation of the human right to democracy in multilevel systems of government - at a time of renewed struggles with antidemocratic forces (democratic backsliding). It tries to answer three questions: (1) Is there a human right to democracy in contemporary global and regional international law as well as European Union law and what consequences does that have for the States' governmental structure (top-down perspective on national democracy)? (2) Does the human right to democracy also extend to decision-making at the international and supranational level (bottom-up perspective on international/supranational democracy)? (3) What is the relation between national democracy and international democracy and the corresponding human entitlements (interdependence perspective)?
The first part of an answer to these questions derives from the elements of democracy proclaimed by the United Nations as a universal value. The second part results from an investigation of the national and international democratic ingredients of the right of self-determination of peoples, whose recognition and codification is the mainstay of the human rights revolution since 1945. The third part is added by a survey and comparison of the various democratic rights included in the global and regional human rights treaties that constitute the subjective cornerstones of democracy. The fourth part is devoted to analysing the EU as exemplary but imperfect multilevel democracy. In all these parts, the enforcement of democratic entitlements are also discussed. In the fifth part, conclusions will be drawn. The book is addressed to international and EU law experts as well as political scientists.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開放存取的書籍盤點了多層次政府體系中民主人權的現狀——在與反民主勢力（民主倒退）重新鬥爭的時期。它試圖回答三個問題：（1）當代全球和區域國際法以及歐盟法中是否存在民主的人權，這對國家的政府結構有什麼影響（自上而下的國家民主觀）？（2）民主的人權是否也延伸至國際和超國家層級的決策（自下而上的國際/超國家民主觀）？（3）國家民主與國際民主及相應的人權之間的關係是什麼（相互依賴觀）？
對這些問題的第一部分回答來自聯合國所宣告的作為普世價值的民主要素。第二部分則源於對民族自決權的國內和國際民主成分的調查，其承認和編纂自1945年以來一直是人權革命的支柱。第三部分通過對全球和區域人權條約中包含的各種民主權利的調查和比較來補充。第四部分專注於分析歐盟作為一個典範但不完美的多層次民主。在所有這些部分中，民主權利的執行也會被討論。在第五部分中，將得出結論。本書面向國際法和歐盟法專家以及政治科學家。
