the penitentiary of democracy

"Those who find democracy to be the most enduring and compeling component in late-modern identity may be drawn to supplement and challenge territorial democracy through nonterritorial democratization. For today democracy is the living ideal through which the territorial state receives its highest legitimation. But to confine the ethos of democracy to the state today is to convert the state into the penintentiary of democracy".

William E. Connolly, Identity/Difference, 1991.
