Abstract:
Here I reply to critiques of my 2016 book Politics against Domination set forth by Brooke Ackerly, Harry Boyte, James Fishkin, Peter Levine, and Georgia Warnke. Among the themes addressed are different ways of managing power relations in public and civil institutions; the relevance of lived experiences of those involved in power relations for evaluating them; the efficacy of social movements as vehicles for lasting social change; the advantages and limitations of competitive democracy, deliberation, and judicial review in combating domination; the economic and political sources of populism; and the virtues and limitations of identity politics, particularly for vulnerable minorities.
