Special Issue of IJMS on "Democracy and Power-sharing
in Multi-National States"
In the many multi-national democracies around the world
today, there is increasing evidence for a potential trade-off
between democracy and power-sharing. Empirical research on
this tension is needed to understand how and why public participation,
whether in the form of popular mobilization, direct democracy,
or deliberative democracy, threatens elite power-sharing
arrangements in multi-national democracies. Research on new
states and post-conflict societies is also needed, as these
may well require a different combination of democracy and
power-sharing than multi-national states with a more peaceful
recent past and established boundaries. Finally, a normative
reflection on the possibilities for democratic deepening
in ethno-plural societies is needed. This would examine collective
claims for recognition, while at the same time allowing for
elements of direct democracy and deliberation. |
