Inclusion and exclusion in democracies: A theoretical comparison of John M. McCormick and Iris M. Young
Abstract
Elections, as one of the main pillars of modern
democracies, are necessary but not sufficient condition for ideal form of
representative democracy. John M. McCormick and Iris M. Young problematize the
democracy understanding solely based on fair and competitive elections. While
they both agree on the problem of modern democracies as executed by wealthy
elites, there is a divergence in their proposed solutions. While McCormick sees
the problem as inequalities between classes and proposes excluding the wealthy
elites from dominating the political representation and decision making, Young
proposes an inclusive approach that empowers marginalized groups. This article
compares and contrasts these two theoretical approaches to reform democracy in
a way that would deliver its promise as a system of comprehensive policy making
process
