Kryzys zasady przedstawicielstwa a odpowiedzialność władzy w demokracji. Próba konceptualizacji

100%

Nowotarski B.

nr 1(120)

11-28

The basic thesis of this essay is that the reasons for the erosion of representative democracy should always be sought in the weakness of accountability mechanisms in governance, because these mechanisms are an inherent part of the process of delegation of representative functions. Both processes take place in the same location, but they are oriented in opposite directions. Firstly, the vertical mechanism of this accountability is founded upon and runs directly along with the delegation of power relations and the mechanism of horizontal accountability of power arises from the multiplication of vertical chains, which gives democratic legitimacy to the authorities (veto-actors) of a horizontal sequence. This article is an attempt to conceptualize the notion of “accountability of power” in relation to the symptoms occurring in the world crisis of representative democracy .

nr 3(128)

There is crisis of representative democracy today, as evidenced by permanently low public support for its institutions and the way in which they function. Whether, in the wake of this, the very democratic values are at risk in their social legitimacy? The author makes an attempt to identify the reasons for the weakness of representative democracy in the context of, fi rstly, its fundamental theoretical assumptions and, secondly, basic mechanisms of its functioning, i.e., the systems of delegation of power and accountability thereof. He provides a thorough analysis of an electoral preferences delegation mechanism. These considerations are supplemented by the experiences and the conclusions that can be derived, for modern democracies, from the democracy of ancient Athens.

Babinova O.

nr 1

55-77

The article is a comparative analysis of the legislation of two post-soviet countries - Ukraine and Latvia - in the field of democracy, particularly in direction of liability of elected officials and civil servants to citizens and society, which is one of the important aspects of effective functioning of democracy in any country. These countries were chosen for such analysis as they are both post-soviet countries, but they have differences in their democratic development. In Ukraine, there are some problems with possibilities for citizens to influence on elected officials and civil servants; till September 10, 2019, it was not possible for them to remove the president from office, but the possibility to recall the members of the parliament is absent even today. Unlike Ukraine, Latvia in a very short time after the collapse of Soviet Union has managed to create effective system of democratic legislation. For development of any country in the direction of democracy, fight against corruption, the relevant legislation is vitally important. In Latvia, there is necessary legal basis, which supports democratic development of the country. Particularly for this reason, experience of this country is very important for Ukraine and some other postsoviet countries, which are only in the process of creation effective, transparent, and liable governments. The goal of this article is not only to compare the relevant legislation of these two countries, but also to define the main problems in the legislation in this field, which should be solved in any democratic country. Special attention is paid to possibilities for citizens to remove the President from office and to recall the elected officials, as it is a very important aspect of democracy.
