My research project will examine why undemocratic constitutional orders in the United Kingdom and the United States have survived long after both political cultures embraced the ideal of democracy. Alongside this, my research will also examine the legal and technical means by which democratisation might now take place. The thesis will combine these two elements - theoretical and practical - in an attempt to test the insights and assumptions of some of the canonical thinkers of political theory, in particular Hobbes, Harrington, and Madison, against the evidence of contemporary experience.

我的研究项目将研究为什么在英国和美国的不民主的宪法秩序已经存活了很久后，两种政治文化都接受了民主的理想。除此之外，我的研究还将考察民主化现在可能发生的法律的和技术手段。本文将联合收割机这两个要素-理论和实践-试图测试的见解和假设的一些典型的思想家的政治理论，特别是霍布斯，哈灵顿，和麦迪逊，对证据的当代经验。
