26Topic: Democracy and the idea of citizenshipResearch in Phenomenology 38 (2): 157-173. 2008.This paper analyzes the reasons behind what it calls the erosion of democracy under George W. Bush's presidency since September 11, 2001, and claims that they are twofold: first, the erosion in question can be attributed to a crisis of the state and the belief that security is its only genuine function.
