Constitutional democracy in a multicultural and globalised world

The book is ‘full of profound insights, stimulating reflections and ideas, and creative provocations, such as the authors’ continuous scepticism towards the liberal political and state theory’. Defining the multicultural state as theessential political community of the 21st century and redefining the basic concepts of the theory of state to that effect, the book may become a milestone in the history of political and state theory (Ulrich.K.Preuss in the International Journal of Constitutional Law) 2006, p. 576-58. It is a great merit of Thomas Fleiner and Lidija R. Basta Fleiner that they identify both internal changes of a personal substrate of contemporary states and the challenges of globalization not only with an astonishing seismological sensitiveness; moreover, they do it in a manner, which distinguishes their book with regard to other works on the theory of the State.’ (Felix Hanschmann, in Kritische Justiz) 2005, p. 207-213. A theory of the state of the 21st century, facing the challenges of internal heterogeneity and the pressures of its unprecedented globalized interdependency without giving up democracy and the rule of law
