  • A Threat to Democracy? Uncivil Speech and Democracy’s Value

    Artikel
    2026. Ludvig Beckman.

    The rise of uncivil speech in digital public spheres has prompted concern about its effects on democracy. This paper explores the relationship between incivility in social media and democracy, moving beyond simplistic claims that uncivil discourse is inherently harmful. It argues that different conceptions of why democracy is valuable—versions of egalitarian and electoral conceptions—offer distinct evaluative standpoints for the democratic consequences of incivility. Under egalitarian conceptions, incivility undermines democracy by silencing marginalized voices, reinforcing hierarchies of social status, or by degrading the deliberative processes that contribute to democratic legitimacy. Under electoral conceptions incivility poses a democratic problem either when it reduces political trust that impairs the value of accountability or when it erodes norms of legitimate opposition that are essential for civil peace. By analyzing these frameworks, the paper clarifies when and why incivility may pose a genuine threat to democracy while also proposing how to navigate conflicts between restraint and inclusion by advancing a novel account of the duties of civility in the public sphere.

  • Democratic duties. Why we should vote to rectify political injustice

    Artikel
    2025. Ludvig Beckman.

    This paper argues that voters have duties of political justice to rectify imperfections in the democratic process, specifically unjust exclusions from the suffrage. The basis for such duties is that voters benefit from unjust suffrage exclusions and therefore have special duties to rectify them. In order to show that these duties apply to all voters, the paper explains the relevant sense in which all voters benefit from unjust exclusions from the vote. Next, the paper specifies the claim that benefitting from injustice grounds rectificatory duties, how this applies to voters, and how they can discharge their duties through the vote, either by restituting electoral injustices, compensating their victims or by disgorging the benefits they unjustly derive from electoral injustice.

  • Democratic Legitimacy and Decisions for the Future

    Artikel
    2025. Ludvig Beckman.

    This paper engages two claims defended by Axel Gosseries in What is intergenerational justice. The first is that the demands of democratic legitimacy cannot be met in the political relations between present and future people because future people cannot authorize decisions made today. In response, I cast doubt on the necessity of authorization for democratic legitimacy. Representative claims can, in some cases, be legitimate by democratic standards even if they are not authorized. The second claim advanced by Gosseries is that democratic legitimacy applies to the relations between present and future people since future people are governed by the decisions made today. Contrary to Gosseries, I argue that the imposition of burdens is neither sufficient nor necessary for decisions to govern others. Instead, the paper argues that de facto authority is the more relevant condition and that intergenerational relations of de facto authority are unlikely ever to obtain.

  • Excluding Citizens

    Artikel
    2025. Camilla Wangmar, Ludvig Beckman.

    Previous literature explains the fact that sub-national elections tend to be more inclusive than national elections by reference to the level of the election. This paper argues that the constitutional status of the election is more decisive. This is illustrated by evidence from the British Overseas Territories (BOTs) where resident citizens without ‘belonger’ status are excluded from the vote. Elections in BOTs are less inclusive because they are significant to the future constitutional status of the territory. Finally, the paper considers the implications of our thesis for the ongoing dispute on belongership between the UK and BOTs.
