| Sumario: | This article presents the conception of democracy adopted by the Social Systems Theory in Niklas Luhmann's version. Although it is an infrequent topic in the sociologist's work, it was clearly exposed in the article The Future of Democracy, published in 1990. In this article, the conception is presented as a historical hypothesis that was able to predict and explain some characteristics of Western democracy after the fall of the Soviet bloc. The article advances a development of this democratic conception to better understand the resurgence of far-right political movements in the last decade and, on the other hand, to show how such movements are incompatible with the democratic principle proposed by Luhmannian theory. |
