Is there a human right to democracy? This question has generated significant discussion in contemporary social and political philosophy. In this paper, I offer a response to Thomas Christiano’s thought-provoking arguments in favor of a human right to democracy. I argue that Christiano’s Egalitarian Argument depends on his Instrumental Argument in order to succeed. I further argue that the Egalitarian Argument is unsuccessful because of flaws in the scope and logic of the argument as well as the failure of the Instrumental Argument, which the Egalitarian Argument relies on. I conclude by surveying several other types of arguments in favor of democracy, specifically those that do not argue for a human right to democracy. |
