The ideology of Christian Democracy helped define the constitutional framework of many contemporary European and Latin American countries. Yet this ideological tradition remains severely understudied compared to others. This book redresses that imbalance by offering the first full-length study of the political ideology of Christian Democracy.
Introduction; Part I. Conceptual Building Blocks of the Christian Democratic Ideology: 1. Anti-materialism: Christian Democracy's philosophy of history; 2. Personalism: neo-thomist metaphysics and human rights; 3. Popularism: consociational democracy and constitutionalism; 4. Subsidiarity: a theory of the state and internationalism; 5. Social capitalism: principles of Christian Democratic political economy; 6. Christian inspiration: the role of religion in politics; Part II. History and Future Prospects of Christian Democracy as a Political Phenomenon: 7. Christian Democracy in Continental Europe: from dominance to doom?; 8. The European Union as a Christian Democracy: a heuristic approach; 9. Christian Democracy in the Americas: periphery or vanguard?; 10. Persistent normative potential of Christian Democracy: between Muslim Democracy and far-right populism; Conclusion.
