Departing from the established literature connecting the
political-institutional patterns of democracy with the quality of
democracy, this book acknowledges that democracies, if they can be
described as such, come in a wide range of formats. At the
conceptual and theoretical level, the authors make an argument
based on deliberation, redrawing power diffusion in terms of the
four dimensions of proportionality, decentralisation,
presidentialism and direct democracy, and considering the potential
interactions between these aspects. Empirically, they assemble data
on sixty-one democracies between 1990 and 2015 to assess the
performance and legitimacy of democracy. Their findings demonstrate
that while, for example, proportional power diffusion is associated
with lower income inequality, there is no simple institutional
solution to all societal problems. This book explains contemporary
levels of power diffusion, their potential convergence and their
manifestation at the subnational level in democracies including the
United States, Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
