چکیده

Two types of democracy, majoritarian and consensus, are first discussed. The majoritarian principle is typically embodied in parliamentary systems, by the combination of the single-member district plurality (majority) system, the two-party system, and single-party cabinets; and in presidential systems by presidential domination over the parliament. Consensus democracies are based on the principle that accommodation of minority interests and securing of minority acceptance are essential in arriving at such decisions. The majoritarian principle finds typical institutional expression in the setting of the parliamentary system, the combination of single-member district plurality (majority) system, the two-party system, and single-party cabinets; and in the setting of the presidential system, presidential domination over the parliament. The consensus principle is embodied, in deeply divided “plural societies,” by “consociational” arrangements, and more generally by the combination of proportional representation, multiparty system, and oversized coalition cabinets.
