The Plural Society and Cosociational Democracy Theory: Malaysia's Case

Bu çalısmada,“Çoğulcu Toplum ve Consociational (konsensüse dayalı) Demokrasi” görüslerini, Malezya örneği çerçevesinde ele alarak, bu görüslerin, Malezya için ne derece geçerli yada geçersiz olduklarını göstermeye çalıstık. Literatürde, oldukça elestirilen A. Lijphart’ın görüsleri, her ne kadar, Avrupadaki bazı ülkeler için geçerli olsada, Malezya örneğini, tarihsel, kültürel ve değisik insan özelliklerini ele almadığından dolayı, açıklamada yeterli gözükmemektedir.

Çoğulcu Toplumlar ve Konsensüse Dayalı Demokrasi Teorisi: Malezya Örneği

In this study, we try to examine the views and points on “The Plural Society and Consociational Democracy Theory”. Although, A. Lijphart’s assertions about “The Plural Society and Consociational Democracy Theory” proved to be important to understand the political, social and economic structures of some European states, but Malaysia’s case proved that there is a need to develop these assertions further, taking into account the historical, cultural and various human factors.
