Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte, observe: 1,7, Universität Hamburg (Sozialwissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Herrschaft und Demokratie bei Max Weber (1864-1920), Sprache: Deutsch, summary: Die Aktualität Max Webers ist ungebrochen. Gerade heut, in einer Zeit dramatischer gesellschaftlicher Umbrüche, stellt sich die Frage von Macht und Legitimität mit Vehemenz. Die Ereignisse in Nordafrika und in der arabischen Welt demonstrieren eindringlich, dass offenbar ein Funke reichen kann, der eine Lawine ungeahnten Ausmaßes ins Rollen bringt. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg haben sich in Tunesien, in Libyen oder Ägypten autokratische Herrscher und blutige Militärregierungen ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste gegen die Bevölkerung durchgesetzt. Der Wille der Volkes warfare ebenso gleichgültig wie sein Wohlergehen. Und Widerstand wurde ganz einfach gewaltsam und in Folterkammern im Keim erstickt. Daneben aber existiert seit dem II Weltkrieg eine Welt demokratischer Staaten, die – trotz krisenhafter Wirtschaftsverläufe – auf die unmittelbare Einsetzung von Gewalt verzichtet und sich dennoch vergleichsweise stabiler präsentiert. Mehr noch: die demokratischen Staaten und die in ihnen gepflegten Verkehrsformen scheinen zu einem guten das erstrebte Vorbild der derzeit Revoltierenden zu sein. Ihre bisherige Herrschaft hat jeden Kredit verspielt und wird von der Bevölkerung so sehr gehasst, dass sie unter Einsatz des eigenen Lebens deren Beseitigung, kurz: einen Umsturz, eine Revolution betreiben.
