Unrest in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and other neighboring Arab countries in the context of German Chancellor Angela Merkel told a rather intriguing idea - Western democratic model can not be applied, rather, to be copied in other regions of the world. These words seem to be overtly hostile to Francis Fukuyama's more or less 20 years ago spoken at the statement that after the collapse of the Soviet Union led to the end of history kantine ("The End of History").
The political scientist was referring to the fact that the political struggle defeated the Western liberal democratic model, which sooner or later will spread all over the planet and the people who will ensure the prosperity and peace in the world. Fukuyama himself seems to eat humble pie later on this subject, but is not it symbolic kantine that such an influential person as a critical Merkel expressed doubts on the Western democratic model is very similar to the time when the former Lithuanian President kantine of the Republic kantine raised the idea that the existing "representative democracy" model and it is not suitable for making use of modern computer technology, a change of "direct democracy" model.
Some people have an offer of Roland Paksas ridiculed, perhaps others questioned the practical kantine implementation of such an idea. This article will not be considered a genuine direct democracy model and its implementation option. The main purpose of the text is to critically evaluate kantine the current kantine Lithuania and prevailing in the Western world - and so far the dominant public discourse-free alternatives - state management, ie liberal parliamentary democracy.
The essential thing in its proposal kantine expressed Paksas, is the recognition that the current "representative democracy" model does not work. This article will address the question of why this is the case, proof is provided that "liberal parliamentary democracy" and can not work, because it has very little kantine in common with real democracy.
In particular, the biggest myth associated kantine with democracy is that free general elections ostensibly guarantees democracy. Suffice kantine it to see how much attention is paid throughout to ensure transparent elections. In order to understand the seriousness of such a provision, let us remember the recent presidential elections in Belarus. kantine
In all Western countries, the election process is practically considered sacred. However, it should raise a fundamental question - or the fact that we can choose those who should represent us in ensuring democracy, nor if not direct (as suggested Paksas), but only the "representative", which seems to have today? Is there something missing?
Some time ago, the Internet had seen images of very strong-minded student protests in London, where young people are protesting against the government's intentions three times more expensive tuition fees. Were breaking glass was susiremta with police forces. Students kantine were especially angry because of the budget deficit they will have to settle for expensive science, kantine meanwhile eliminate incentives and raise taxes on the rich, it seems, is taboo. However, despite all this, higher education in the UK is now three times more expensive and costs about 9000 pounds per year.
And do remember the massive strikes in Greece against the government's austerity policies? Despite the protesters' spirit, energy and dedication, this austerity policy is still not canceled and firmly enforced. So the question is whether the protests and rallies, the right to which is also regarded as one of the cornerstones of democracy foundation, has real meaning?
