THE PLURAL SOCIETY AND CONSOCIATIONAL DEMOCRACY THEORY: MALAYSIA'S CASE

Year 2007, Issue: 17, - , 20.06.2015

Abstract

In this study, we try to examine the views and points on “The Plural Society and Consociational Democracy Theory”. Although, A. Lijphart’s assertions about “The Plural Society and Consociational Democracy Theory” proved to be important to understand the political, social and economic structures of some European states, but Malaysia’s case proved that there is a need to develop these assertions further, taking into account the historical, cultural and various human factors

Keywords

The Plural Society, Consaciational Democracy Theory, Malaysia, Human Factors
