Document Summary
Set institutions built around competitive elections that enable all adult citizens to choose and remove their government leaders (stoker, 2006) Illiberal democracies are also called competitive authoritarian regimes or semi-democratic concept. Regime in which political power is widely distributes and power in some way rest with the people. Lively argued that interpretation 1-3 can justiiably described a democratic 5-7 cannot since there is no provision for rules to be mover by the ruled. Point 7 allows the systems without elections to call themselves. Direct rule by the people, traditionally considered possibly only in small societies. Rule by the representative elected by the people. Originates from greek terms, demos- the people and kratos- power or rule. Classical example is ancient athens, which had a form of direct rule by its citizens although it did exclude women, slaves and foreigners. Oice holders were subject to regular rotation and chosen by the other citizens.
