- Abstract
- In the theory of postliberal democracy, a democratic dynamic leads to a reproducible democratic institutional equilibrium. This in turn leads to a highly democratic institutional equilibrium. It can be assumed that democracies must have the capacity to respond to disturbances and thereby to adapt to the conditions under which they find themselves. From the theoretical viewpoint of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, it can be assumed that transformation of democracy over time can be explained in terms of dissipative process that is related to the selforganizing system in the evolutionary process of its complexity and functional adaptability. In this sense, it can be claimed that democracy is a complex adaptive system functioning in the macroscopic evolutionary process.
