Abstract
Concepts of democracy are changing. This is not in the least reflected by the fact that although the term democracy plays a key role in political science — in empirical analysis as well as in normative studies- its use is by no means consistent or uncontested (see Schmitter/Karl 1991; Schmidt 1995: 11–18). The terminology becomes inconsistent as democratic theories change due to empirical studies, or due to changes in democratic practice (see also Scharpf 1970; Schmidt 1995: 14–17).KeywordsCivil SocietyPolitical SystemCore SectorPolitical OrderCivic ActorThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
