Purpose of the group
The core point of our analysis is to focus on the “ideas of democracy”, that is on the fundamental elements of electoral legislation as the basic junction in the relationship between representative institutions and political community. Therefore, the investigation line shall try to identify the concept of democracy, where the two poles are embodied by the model of compromise-oriented democracy, based on the role of Parliaments and political parties, which is usually called Kelsenian democracy from the one hand and of a more competitive democracy, on the lines of the Schumpeterian leadership democracy, from the other hand.
