Democracy, as the current situation clearly shows, is not a natural state, not a matter of course – it is the result of a continuous struggle for participation, plurality and legal certainty. This special volume builds on this and brings together positions from various areas of society. It begins with conceptual considerations, followed by the question of what corporate political responsibilty can mean in practice. Finally, the focus shifts to the responsibility of social actors. The interdisciplinary contributions invite readers from all areas of society to engage with democratic participation – especially in the area of business.
