Abstract

Is our democracy able to survive under the current changed conditions—decrease in birth rates and the aging of society, high unemployment, financial problems of social systems, streams in immigration, flight of capital, international criminality, elite cartels, and Europeanization? Jutta Limbach considers the conditions of stability in our state and societal community. Her hope is aimed at a developing civil society. It is here—and not with the political elite—that she finds imagination, power of action and pleasure to express opinion. These qualities are necessary for the survival of our country.
