ARTICLES RELATED TO Democracy - 20th century waves of democracy | | | |  Democracy - 20th century waves of democracy: Encyclopedia II - Democracy - Advantages and disadvantages of democracyCritics of democracy as a form of government allege it has inherent disadvantages, both in practice and by its very nature. Some of which may be shared by some or all other forms of government, while others may be unique to democracy.
Democracy - Ethnic and religious conflicts.
Democracy, and especially liberal democracy, necessarily assumes a sense of shared values in the demos (otherwise political legitimacy will fail). In other words, it assumes that the demos is in fact a unit. For historical reasons, ...

| | | | Democracy - 20th century waves of democracy: Encyclopedia II - Democracy - Advantages and disadvantages of democracy All democracies (and every other form of government) have certain structural defects, which are related to the nature of democracy. Although all forms of government have defects, supporters of democracy are often reluctant to concede that it is less than perfect, which in turn may hinder its reform. Two prominent defects are related to the territory and membership of the demos itself.

| | | | Democracy - 20th century waves of democracy: Encyclopedia II - Democracy - Essential elements of a democracy True democracy as a form of government always has the following characteristics:
there is constrained freedom to further the public good. Stated in negative terms, limits-sometimes vigorous ones-are essential to ensure that not anything goes (e.g., murdering people with handguns). Stated in positive terms, infinite freedom is of the essence to explore within, but not exceed, the boundaries defined by the edge of chaos (e.g., populist revolutions to identify, advocate for, and create consensus around new forms of government that ...

The minimal characteristics of democracy (listed above) are not generally considered to make a democracy 'liberal'. In practice, the term now denotes a collection of defining criteria, some of which are unrelated to each other. They are sometimes presented as a list of demands, to be fulfilled during a democratisation process. Note that many liberal democracies ...

| | | | Democracy - 20th century waves of democracy: Encyclopedia II - Democracy - History of democracy The term democracy - or more precisely, the original (ancient Greek) version of the word - was coined in ancient Athens in the 5th century BC. Athenian democracy is generally seen as the earliest example of a system corresponding to some of the modern notions of democratic rule. Only a sixth or a quarter of the whole (adult male) population of Athens could vote; but this was a bar of nationality, like the present German franchise, not of economic status: however poor they were, all Athenian citizens ...

The qualifier 'liberal' in this context refers strictly speaking to constitutional liberal ...
