![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bringing together the literature on rational reconstruction and political realism, I develop an approach of ‘realist reconstructivism’ meant to allow distinguishing between regressive and non-regressive forms of exit politics.īIO| Markus Patberg is a Research Associate in Political Theory at the University of Hamburg, where he obtained his PhD in 2016. In this paper, I argue that political theory needs to develop a new methodology to approach this issue. ![]() This raises the question of whether and under what conditions exit amounts to regression and what follows from this for its legitimacy. And indeed, exit can create significant costs – for example, deprive individuals of certain rights, or do away with legitimate decision procedures. At the same time, treaty withdrawals are often portrayed as a sign of political decay – as a threat to normative achievements. This empirical development is flanked by a growing academic literature that recommends member states take the “way out downwards” (Streeck), i.e., exit, in response to perceived democratic deficits of global governance. Political actors – from civil society movements to political parties to governments – call upon member states to leave international institutions. This seminar is planned as a hybrid event.
