Three Paradoxes of Democracy

Ideas of Larry Diamond

1.  Conflict versus  Consensus

Democracy is a system of institutionalized competition for power.

Too much conflict can yield instability

Democracy requires conflict - but not too much. 

Cleavage must be tempered with consensus

2. Representativeness versus Governability

 Democracy disperses power, prevents its excessive concentration

 But democracy must have what Alexander Hamilton called “energy.”

 All governments need to act quickly at times.

 Democracies need to respond to group demands, and sometimes to resist them.

Three Paradoxes of Democracy

 Ideas of Larry Diamond

1.  Conflict versus  Consensus

 Democracy is a system of institutionalized competition for power.

 Too much conflict can yield instability

 Democracy requires conflict - but not too much.  

 Cleavage must be tempered with consensus

2. Representativeness versus Governability

 Democracy disperses power, prevents its excessive concentration

 But democracy must have what Alexander Hamilton called “energy.”

 All governments need to act quickly at times.

 Democracies need to respond to group demands, and sometimes to resist them.

 Too much representation can yield paralysis.

 The challenge: to represent conflicting interests without being captured by them.

3.  Consent versus Effectiveness

 Democracy means “rule by the people.”

 But democracies must not only have the consent of the people, they must also be effective governments. 

 To be approved by the people, democracies must provide effective performance across a variety of issues.

 But the process of gathering consent is not always efficient.

Performance

 Democracies doe not necessarily perform more efficiently than do authoritarian regimes.

 Authoritarian regimes can ignore public discontent while they press for long-term payoffs.
