MILL’S THEORY OF LIBERAL DEMOCRACY

Slaven Ravlić ; LZ "M.Krleža", Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

The article deals with Mill’s theory of liberal democracy as a synthesis of the elements of two different political traditions and doctrines: liberalism and democracy, integration of liberal concepts of freedom, limitations of power, political representation and elite leadership and democratic ideas of equality, social homogeneity, national sovereignty and citizens” participation. The author concludes that the contradictions found in Mill’s theory do not stem from the inconsistency of the logic of his argumentation, but from the contradictory demands he tried to reconcile.
