Vital Democracy outlines a theory of democracy in action, based on
four elementary forms of democracy--pendulum, consensus, voter and
participatory democracy--that are thoroughly analyzed, compared and
related to both the literature and the real world of democracy.
Just like a few primary colors produce an array of shades, a few
basic models of democracy appear, the author argues, to constitute
a wide range of democratic variants in real life.
Focusing on tried and tested democratic institutions, Frank
Hendriks shows that the four models of democracy--with their
divergent patterns of leadership, citizenship and governance, their
inherent strengths and weaknesses--are never purely instantiated.
He argues that wherever democracy is practiced with some level of
success, it is always as hybrid democracy, thereby challenging
those democratic reformers and theorists that have inspired the
quest for democratic purity.
Vital Democracy builds on Arend Lijphart's well-known work which
distinguishes between majoritarian and consensual democratic
countries but also goes well beyond it, urging attention to
non-national, non-formal, and non-representative expressions of
democracy as well.
