Publisher: ECMI
Volume: 99 pages, pdf
Description:
In this paper the model of ethnic democracy is presented in a full and in a mini version. The model consists of three parts: features of the regime, the circumstances leading to it and the conditions contributing to its stability. The criticisms against the general model, relating to its alleged illegitimacy, instability and inefficiency, are discussed and answered. Ethnic democracy is also distinguished from civic democracies (individual liberal democracy, republican liberal democracy, multicultural democracy, consociational democracy) on the one hand, and from quasi- or non-democracies (control, Herrenvolk democracy, ethnocracy), on the other.
