Democracy & Nature was a theoretical academic journal established in 1992 by Takis Fotopoulos as Society and Nature, obtaining its later name in 1995.[1] Four volumes of three issues each were released by Aigis Publications from 1992 to 1999.[2] From 1999 to 2003, five more volumes were released by Taylor & Francis.[3] Publication ceased at the end of 2003, after which Fotopoulos established a new journal, The International Journal of Inclusive Democracy.[4]
Aims
Democracy & Nature's stated aim was to be a forum for a "new conception of democracy", given the name Inclusive Democracy in 1997. While maintaining that core function, the journal expanded to include coverage of a spectrum of radical alternative views.[5]
Content
The journal organized each issue around a central theme, including "The Philosophy of Ecology", "Nationalism and the New World Order", "The Expansion of the South", "Democracy and Liberalism", "Mass Media, Culture and Democracy", "Marx versus Proudhon", "Postmodernism and the Democratic Project", "The 'War' against Terrorism", "Education, Paideia and Democracy", and "The Inclusive Democracy Project: Six Years On".
Political orientation
In the editorial of the first issue of the journal it is stated that the ambition of the journal would be "to initiate an urgently needed dialogue on the crucial question of developing a new liberatory social project, at a moment in History when the Left has abandoned this traditional role" and specified that the new project should be seen as the outcome of a synthesis of the democratic, libertarian socialist and radical Green traditions.[6] It was out of this theoretical work and the dialogue which developed in the journal between 1992 and 1997 that the Inclusive Democracy project was born.[7] Topics presented explored the relationship between the specific form of society aimed at, democracy, and nature in the course of developing a liberatory project for a direct, economic and ecological democracy such as: communalism, sovereignty, liberalism.[8][9][10] The journal published theoretical articles by some of the main names of the international left including Murray Bookchin, Cornelius Castoriadis, James O'Connor, Noam Chomsky, Arne Naess, Carl Boggs, Ward Churchill, Andre Gunder Frank, Ted Trainer, Arran Gare, Steven Best, Douglas Kellner, Peter MacLaren, Serge Latouche, and Takis Fotopoulos.
Abstracting and indexing
The journal was abstracted and indexed in Alternative Press Index, International Political Science Abstracts, Political Science Complete,[11] and Academic Search Premier/Complete.[12]
