As a forum for debate, the journal challenges theorists to ask and answer the perennial questions that plague the field of democratization studies:

Why is democracy so prominent in the world today?
What is the meaning of democracy?
Will democracy continue to expand?
Are current forms of democracy sufficient to give voice to “the people” in an increasingly fragmented and divided world?
Who leads in democracy?
What types of non-Western democratic theories are there?
Should democrats always defend democracy?
Should democrats be fearful of de-democratization, post-democracies, and the rise of hybridized regimes?  

For too long, the discourse of democracy has been colonized and predetermined by the West. Now more than ever there is a need to globalize—and by extension democratize—how we think about democracy: Democratic Theory provides the means for these essential debates to germinate and develop.
