Some use for your broken clay pots
Language German
Duration 1h 30min
The cornerstone of Some use for your broken clay pots is an invented constitutional text which provides the legal basis for a hypothetical future democratic state. This new constitution, which has been developed in collaboration with a team of scholars, prescribes a democratic regime entirely based on disqualification instead of our present day elections. This exercise in constitutional creativity is aimed at producing a system which is as different as possible from the ones we know today. But at the same time, the challenge has been to also make it as credible and theoretically implementable as possible.
