In almost all political debates of the present - but especially those of biopolitics - it can be observed that these are characterized by dissent and conflict, instead of consensus and harmony. Agonal theories of democracy take this aspect as an opportunity to point out new ways of conflict regulation. In her now published dissertation Manon Westphal makes proposals for the design of political institutions and thus for overcoming the institutional deficit of agonal democracy.
