{"product_id":"new-approach-to-political-speech","title":"New Approach to Political Speech","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis provocative book challenges conventional understandings of political speech and its relationship to democracy. Through a focused case study of Donald Trump's role in attempting to overturn the 2020 election and the prosecutions stemming from it, Erik Olsen develops a critique of the prevailing view that political speech is a private right that is only instrumentally related to political action. He advocates instead for a theoretical framework that treats political speech as a form of communicative action and balances the protection of free expression with the need to safeguard core democratic practices and processes. He thus outlines a more robust First Amendment jurisprudence that can better defend both public liberty and democratic institutions from authoritarian threats in the current era of democratic backsliding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57427930022232,"sku":"9783111698250","price":86.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/new-approach-to-political-speech","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
