About the author.
Back cover
In diesem Buch wird die Theorie der politischen F|hrung, die ein noch wenig erforschtes Feld der Politikwissenschaft ist, beleuchtet. Sie ist verwandt mit dem philosophischen Streit um Determinismus versus Aktivismus und hilft den Grundkonflikt des 21. Jahrhunderts zwischen liberaler Demokratie und neuem Autoritarismus zu verstehen. Das Buch befasst sich mit Max Webers Typologie politischer Herrschaft und seinem Konzept der Verantwortungsethik, welche der Schl|ssel zur Theorie der F|hrung sind. Der Autor zeigt auf, dass der unvollendete Wettstreit zwischen Demokratie und neuem Autoritarismus im 21. Jahrhundert die Bedeutung von F|hrung in alten und neuen Demokratien sowie in den neoautorit̃ren Regimen best̃tigt und einen neuen Typus politischer F|hrungskr̃fte fordert.
